Basically I can't find an answer to this so maybe you guys can help.

- I want an iPhone (when they're refreshed next week).
- I cannot get O2 in this area, I am limited to Orange PAYG.

So basically is it as simple as me ordering an iPhone from the O2 site and then removing the SIM, throwing in some kind of TurboSIM and putting my current Orange SIM on top of that?

My problem is that I'm unsure if it will work as I believe you have to go though an activation thing with O2 first? I'm not interested in jailbreaking or any software mods at the moment, just getting Orange PAYG to work. The whole piggyback sim thing seems just right for me.

Cheers!
 
Nobody knows if a TurboSim will work on the new iPhone at release. Just wait and see. The 3G took quite a while to be unlocked (by software), and my guess is the new one will take even longer.

By the time it's done you'll have a better idea of what you need to do.
