IPHONE
« on: November 01, 2012, 08:55:30 AM »
Hey!

Ok, I have an Iphone 3gs and my mom just got an iphone 4 through her phone company for free.  So it's way to much for her and I was wanting to know if I can take a sim card out of my iphone and put in hers?  will the phone work for me?  I was wanting to basically give her my 3gs and I get her 4.  Anyone know?

Are they through the same service? I would call the cell company and ask them. It can be done, but sometimes the cell company restricts it. You will have to switch things (like serial numbers and such - At least you used to have to do that) to get it to work properly, also.

I don't think iPhone 4 has a SIM card. At least I don't see one in mine.

Call AT&T and they will walk you through it. They will have to switch the phones to each account. :)

Yep, that is why I mentioned calling the carrier.

Yep, you shouldn't have to be on the same plan, unless they changed it. All they have to do is just switch the phones mac addressed. :)

Not sure if it's already been addressed but IRRC the sim cards are a different size between the 3G S and the 4.  If the cell phone places are like the ones here they have a little device that can antomatically cut your simcard down to size.
