    I saw this posted in another thread, and I was hoping someone can help me out. I currently have an iPhone 4, and I was planning on swapping out the sims, when I get the magic that is the HTC Inspire LOL, however if there comes a time I'd like to use my iPhone for something I'd like to swap it back. But every micro-sim adapter I see says that I need to cut the i4 sim in order to fit the adapter. But I can't do that if I have to swap them back for something. Is there an adapter that you don't have to cut and that it just fits? :thinking:

    Bought my micro sim adapter on ebay. I use it for my Tilt 2 (Touch Pro) and my iPhone. No issues at all.

    i was going to order that one but I was afraid that it was going to be here too late. I ordered the afc trident micro sim adapter. Seemed to get okay reviews and it will be here on the 11th.

    No, Inspire uses a full-size SIM. It does use a Micro-SD card for storage.

    Thank you for the suggestions everyone, I think I was reading into these wrong.

    I took it as I needed to cut the iPhone 4 sim to fit the adapter, but what they are actually saying is to cut the "GSM" sim to fit the adapter, well seeing as I am not going to have a GSM sim, the iPhone 4 sim should fit perfectly into the adapter without any cutting. Am I correct in saying that?

    Are you sure the iphone 4 micro sim will fit? I was under the impression it was a regular size sim

    Forgive me if I'm confused by your question, but yes, the iPhone 4 sim will fit into an adapter to be used as a standard sized sim card. Look at a few of the links above if you need to convert.

    Is it true that if you use an iphone sim in a droid, that AT&T can screw up your data package?

    They have to code it differently in their system. I would call first.

    so i guess swapping between an iphone 4 and the inspire isn't recommmended then?

    Leave it to Apple to make things proprietary.

    They really irritate me, pompous dolts.

    or this will work lol.. Just buy a sim card cutter. You can make as many as you want as sim cards are free.
