Micro sim card help, just bought the Htc one

So i just bought the HTC one, and my old phone has the regular sized sim cards. The HTC One only takes the micro sim cards.
Do i have to cut the simcard myself or could I just go to Walmart/T-mobile store and they could cut it for me.
Or do I have to buy an entirely new micro sim card, because i don't want to spend like $35. :[

What I did with my new phone that needed a micro sim was I just went to my provider and exchanged my normal sim card for a micro sim with the same number and it's free. I dunno if it's the same on the place where you live.

Get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Noosy-generation-Cutter-iPhone-Phones/dp/B009QTVG4K

It's as simple as using a a stapler. Super handy and everyone asks me to use it when they get a new phone.

@Yumtoast: True, but they probably won't sell her one of those because they profit more from selling her just the micro sim for $20. In any case, she can just buy it online for $0.99

It might be one of those T-Mo SIM cards that comes with a $30 account credit.

Cut it yourself or go to your provider to get it cut for free if you're scared of messing up. no need to buy a new sim.

Cut it with scissors.

Had to do it for my iPhone 5 a while back, though it was a regular to nano-SIM, IIRC.
