    No- their not compatible. Might be able to sync them at the wireless store; but highly doubting because their different manufacturers. Good Luck-

    well I'm assuming that tmobile doesn't carry the samsung instinct. In that case you would have to buy an unlocked phone (buy online or from sprint or verizon whichever one of them carries the instinct and have them unlock it but that can be pricey) and then the sim card would work. I don't know how this would work with your tmobile contract But call and ask a tmobile rep They should be able to help and look online for the most affordable unlocked cellphones. Good luck! hope I helped

    Not sure they share the same network pattern

    I don't believe Sprint runs on GSM networks

    So no SIM card switches.

    No, the SIM card will only work in an AT&T phone. You could use the sim card in an AT&T go phone.
