Ah .. have a few spare phones, none of them micro sim.. well hopefully you are sorted anyway.
Fyi: you can get micro sim to normal sim adapter off eBay. But that's not going to come before Christmas. Maybe one of the phone accessory stores in town would have one, but of a long shot..
You can but the adapters pretty much anywhere, I think the likes of Tesco stock them
Thanks guys. Got my old phone unlocked and a sim adapter from the place in the market in town today for £15, so at least I'm no longer cut off from the world!!
My phone is not showing any signs of life, so will leave in the rice for a few more days.
