Iphone4 require a new special micro-SIM card. use iPad micro-SIM card can’t be used. So if you buy it from abroad and bring it home it will not work unless your local telecommunication company provide the required support for the iPhone micro-SIM card. For more information see this link: http://www.itproportal.com/portal/news/article/2010/6/16/ipad-and-iphone-cant-share-sim-card-says-apple/
You can cut your original SIM to the dimensions of the micro sim without messing the circuit.
You can buy a tool for $15 or go to Palestine Street (Jeddah) and there are 2 -3 shops doing it for SR5
I got it done for my IPAD 3G.
OR,,,, you can use scissors and patience to do it yourself at home…
