    Hi, I was just wondering, my mother is switching to bill pay on vodafone soon and she can get the new iPhone 5s for 199 euro. Shes happy with her current phone so I was thinking of getting the iphone for myself but I need to know does she get an ordinary sized bill pay sim as well as the iphone sized sim when she gets the phone because obviously she will need the ordinary sized sim for her own phone and also can I buy an iphone pre pay sim card on its own?
    :)

    She'll receive a 5S with a micro-sim but if she doesn't ever put it in I don't think the SIM will ever become active. Not too sure about that, though.

    And you'll have no problem picking up a prepay micro SIM on Vodafone.

    You can also get SIM adapters to increase the size of a nano up to a micro or full size.

    Ebay have them for cheap prices.

    Just get the upgrade and while in store ask for a blank SIM card too. Then ring customer care and do a sim swap from the nano sim to the standard sim and she can use it in her existing phone as normal.

    Even easier again. Tell them in store not to change her SIM card to a nano sim as the phone will be used by someone else. It doesn't matter to them. You could buy a new prepay NANO sim or get a replacement nano sim while there too.

    (I bolded nano above as someone mentioned micro sims. The 5S uses a nano sim)
