Guess I'll have to track down a sim the size of a playing card... although god knows who still sells those now it's not 1806BC  :-\

Everyone?

Well Vodafone, Giff Gaff and O2 certainly send you one when you register for a free sim online.
As do Tesco and TMobile/EE /Orange :y
Yep thought so  :y

If the OP wants to occasionally use the Telematics only a 900Mhz network will work though.

The credit card sized sim card is purely the holder that the SIM card is manufactured in. The customer then presses it out to fit in the phone. Or, in this case, slots the whole thing complete into the telematics.

In fact, if you can get hold of an old holder of any sort from any provider, you can press your SIM card back into it and apply tape to the back to hold it in. Works perfectly well. :)

Although I'm not sure where it stands with the new micro sims...?

Micro sims are the same principle :y

Card size with regular sim stamped in, then micro sim outline stamped with that :y

GiffGaff will certainly send you a SIM FOC, which should stop the message (even without activating the SIM).  Obviously if you want to use it, you need an activated 900Mhz (thus one based on an O2 or Voda network) SIM, with credit.
