help

I've got o2 business account and tomorrow i go from my N95 to the iphone 3g. These may seem basic questions but can someone help.
Do i use my old sim card or does the iphone come with a sim with my old number?
If i use my old sim card how do i get it into the phone, I can't beleive the paper clip is the official way!

Thanks in advance of some guidance.

Chris

I take it you are buying a new phone, or are you getting a second hand one? If it is a new one then you will get a new sim card with it, as I was told that the iPhone needed a new compatible sim card to work (however almost every phone I've bought over the last several years has come with a new sim card and told the same thing!)

New iPhone will have the official sim card removal tool in the box, which basically is a pre-bent paper clip.

Enjoy... I'm lovin' mine!

From your sim to the phone or sim to sim?

Re: help

You might have to check that the unlimited data package cover iPhone, because when I joined I got an specific iPhone bolt on that was actually included in the price.
