I'm not sure how many phones ever took the full size SIM.
Commercial considerations killed them off: the idea was that a
person would have a SIM, and be able to share/borrow a phone to use
But the networks wanted to tie people into having their own phone
(and contract) in particular not wanting a phone they'd subsidised
being used with a SIM from a rival network,
They solved that problem by having phones "network" locked
My "acquired" smart phone still is
Is still what. Locked? That's hardly unusual.
I know
but you seemed not to understand it as the solution to people "sharing"
phones by swapping SIMs in/out
Do keep up: "[Opportunities open up] Even on a locked phone because
(for example) GiffGaff and Tesco both use O2, and Virgin/Orange/T-Mobile
all share EE."
