Can anyone confirm that they have cut a Virgin Mobile sim which is working properly in an iPhone 4S?

My husband has a new iPhone 4S bought Unlocked and Sim Free from Apple. I cut down his new Virgin Mobile Sim card and it seemed to work just fine, but then he noticed it was dropping the connection, sometimes saying Invalid Sim sometimes just searching for a network. It also does not work properly with his old, cut down Orange PAYG sim (same problems). However, it does work properly with a cut down 3 sim (this was my practice cut). I cut all the Sims using the same cutter. The 3 sim has a much smaller area of shiny gold - the Orange and VM sims extends all the way to the edge.

I can confirm that I have been using my own Virgin Mobile Sim for a year in an iPhone 4 and that it has worked without a problem (except now with the Orange network connection there is no 3G so solved this problem by switching off Automatic in Network settings and choosing Virgin from the list).

Is there anyone successfully using a VM Sim in a 4S?

Thanks.
