The outside calling is a good tip, and I have more than enough previous phones to do it myself with. Somethings I sell on, others I just don't for some reason. I know I have 4 with live simms with credit, plus odd ones in drawers rather forgotten, but work if I deal with them.
I'll wait a bit for the upgrade, it is a bit hair-raising when you can't check how far it's got. The first thing I'd like to know with this update, is how responsive the end-call method is. I know it had been an issue and still is on my 5S.

ANYONE ELSE NOTICED ... Hi all, Well, sighs of relief here as I discover my 4S has finally come back to life ... but it wasn't as usual. I upgraded to 8.3 over Wifi, without using iTunes, as I just hate it ... I got the prompts to accept and waited, but things were obviously very busy with everyone upgrading and I never got any vocal feedback that anything was happening. Some while later I heard a few noises coming from VoiceOver, but they were only tiny fragments of words ... and then another silence. I was unable to determine exactly what was happening, but left well alone, had a cuppa etc. I got back to my phone, gently flicked a finger across and got nothing ... so wondered. I determined that I'd just sit it out and wait, if needed, for a friend to call by in the morning to ascertain what she could see on the screen. Then my husband said, "Shall I call you and find out if your phone responds?" I decided it couldn't hurt, since anyone could have called me during this upgrade period ... so he did. The phone rang, VoiceOver spoke and - finally - somehow - we're back in business again. Well, it wasn't as sstraightforward as most I've known but, well, that idea to call me was sure worth it! <Smiles> Now I can go and play ...
