Sold an unlocked phone on the bay and the buyer is saying it wont work
with a 121 sim!
Do these actually work anymore, also did they ever make sims the size
they are now?

Two issues here.

1. Original 121 SIMs were Usims or something and won't work in any other
phone.

2. SIM's were originally credit car sized. These days they come in a credit
card sized outer and can be popped out. If you are careful you can cut a
small SIM out of an old large card.

I think that may be further back than most users - One2One became T-Mobile
in 2002. If someone has had a SIM for that long and used it regularly, it
should still work. If it's an old SIM from a drawer, it's probably been
disconnected years ago.

If they have a early/mid-1990s SIM things might be different, I'm not sure.

Most recentish phones accept USIMs.

But I guess there might be something else special about such USIM/SIMs that
ties them to a particular phone.
