You can trim a micro SIM down to nano size - I've had to do this a few times.

Yeah, and you can buy devices to do it for a couple of quid on eBay.

Your current network really won't give you a new SIM? Whenever I've needed to deal with this they've just sent one in the post.

They probably would - post elsewhere confirms that Three will give you one, but if I want to buy a phone this morning and transfer my current SIM into it for immediate use, that could be a problem as all new phones I'm considering are nano. Seems to have charged last night, though.

Went into the Three shop and as ever got excellent customer service - they offered to give me a SIM, asked what phones I wanted to buy, and offered me one better than those for a cheaper price. Problem solved and phone purchased in under 10 minutes, mostly taken up with me looking at the compare site they found for me asking what various features meant!
