Hi Matthew, It is I believe possible to cut a standard SIM down to the size of a Nano SIM, but even more difficult than cutting it to the size of a Micro SIM which was used by the 4 and 4S. The problem is that a Nano SIM is also thinner than a standard SIM hence I read online it is necessary to sand the SIM after you cut it and there is a very good likelihood that unless you really know what you are doing you will destroy your SIM.
If you buy an iPhone 5S whether on contract or at full price, you should be able to easily ask AT&T to give you a Nano SIM and there is no problem whatsoever to acvate your current cell number on that new SIM. I think the only situation where trying to cut and sand a standard SIM would be if you had an unlocked iPhone 5 and were visiting a country where you could only get a standard SIM. The I guess you could try and find a place where they offer to adapt SIM cardsand give it a try.

Hi all. I have an iPhone 3GS which I am looking to upgrade from. Is it possible to make a standered SIM card work in say the iPhone 5s gfor example? If not, how hard would it be to get a number transferred to a nano sim as I think that is what is Bering used. I have AT&T as my carrier.
