I did suggest his, but the 4 uses a Micro SIM and I think maria has an iPhone 6 as her main phone which uses a Nano SIM. She would have to find an adapter and buy it and while I am sure it is not an expensive item it is still something she would have to find and buy. Trying to find somebody who has a phone with a Micro SIM and to use it might be easier.
