    The screen on my 5 is smashed, and it costs €140 to fix it here in Limerick area. Haven't a notion of paying that much, so I put it on adverts looking to swop for a 4S in good condition. My contract is up next year anyway when the next I Phone will be out. Am i mad to do this?

    Is it possible to take out insurance now on it, and say in a few weeks time, let on it's just after breaking, and make a claim? Im sure it goes on the whole time.

    yes, and it's the reason why insurance is so expensive. It's call insurance fraud.

    iPhone 5 uses a nano sim. Not sure bout the 4s but I think its micro. You can get an adapter or go to your network to get a replacement.

    They're free with Vodafone anyway, they normally just replace them if you go into a shop.
