iPhone 5 vs 4S sim card - ztirffritz - 07-25-2013
Do AT&T iPhone 5 phones use the same SIM card as the 4S? Are they interchangeable? My cheap-ass company is trying to save a few hundred dollars by ordering an iPhone 5 for a user who currently has a 4S, but they want to order it using the account of another user who has a simple feature phone and is eligible for an upgrade discount. Then the plan is to give the old 4S to the user with the feature phone, and then give the 5 to the user who had the 4S. If the SIM cards are interchangeable it should be a simple switch.

4S: Micro SIM
5: Nano SIM
You can cut down a Micro SIM to fit in a Nano SIM slot, but it may also require sanding as the Nano SIM is also thinner.

Just go down to an AT&T store and you should be able to get a new nano SIM for the same number. Might cost $10. If your company is big enough they might waive it.

Might also try the Apple store, they gave me a new iPad 2 SIM at no charge.
