If you have ordered an iPhone 4 from your mobile network, a Micro SIM should be supplied to you with the iPhone 4 when you receive it.
If you have bought an iPhone 4 SIM free from Apple direct to be delivered on launch day then there are three ways to get a Micro SIM -
1) Go to an Apple store on launch day and get a Micro SIM for your network. They should be able to transfer your number and credit / tariff onto the new Micro SIM then and there, but it may take up to 24 hours, but usually is a lot less than this.
2) Go to a store for your network, tell them you have purchased an iPhone 4 direct from Apple and that you need a Micro SIM. They mightn't have them until launch day though, remember. Then they should be able to transfer your number and credit / tariff to the new SIM then and there, but it may take up to 24 hours, but usually is a lot less than this.
3) Ring your network, tell them you have purchased an iPhone 4 direct from Apple and that you need a Micro SIM in time for the launch date. They should be able to send one out. Once received, call them back up and give them both SIMs details and they will swop them over for you. (May take up to 24 hours remember). If they don't / can't send one out, explain the phone is SIM free and that you will be considering going to another network if they can't helpe you. That should stir them into action. Even if you have no intention of leaving your network, still threaten them and then do one of the two steps above if there is one of these type of stores close to you.
REMEMBER - All Apple stores will have blank Micro SIMs for participating networks in store on launch day so if it comes to it, you will have to go there to get one, but they will be available, so don't worry!
