Will this SIM card fit this phone?

It is if you've not already put your existing SIM in there.

SIM meaning memory card?

SIM meaning memory card?

just to be clear @Accy cyclist, if your phone has an SD card then it has two cards: an SD card that is purely for storing data, and a SIM card that allows your phone to connect to the the phone network.

Neat trick. With it on charge though, it can't get far.

It'll save you carrying round as well.

What do i do next?

Ok, here goes....you unplug the charger and return it to the box. You remove the battery and return it to the box. You remove the Micro SD card and swallow it. You replace the handset in the box.
