Yes Brian, your current micro-SIM card will work until the new Nano-SIM card is activated by Telstra.
Just pop into a Telstra shop and ask for a non-activated Nano-SIM card as you are waiting delivery of a new unlocked iPhone 6 Plus. When you receive the new iPhone either phone Telstra to Activate 'move your number over' to your new card and Deactivate your old micro-SIM card. Or - you could pop into the Telstra shop again (when you have the new iPhone 6+) and get them to do it there 'on the spot' for you. Note: once the new Nano-SIM card is activated you can no longer use your old iPhone. Remember to "Backup your old iPhone" in iTunes before you set up your new iPhone 6 Plus. > Side note: Mail just froze while typing this. Reset of your iPhone. 1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. 2. Ignore the Red slider that appears on the screen and keep holding both buttons until the Apple logo appears. That's it, the iPhone will restart and hopefully your problem is cured. This Reset completely powers down your iPhone and also clears the RAM and cache.
