I want an iphone 4... but cant upgrade... can i do this instead?

Okay, so i have an iphone 3gs right now. I want the newest one.. but cant upgrade until April 2011. Im about to convert my plan to a family plan... and i was wondering if the other person gets an iphone 4... If we could just swap phones... I still want my SIM card because it has unlimited internet... But i was wondering if i could do that? I know that the iphone 4 has a micro SIM card... and the 3gs has a regular SIM, so would i be able to switch still?

Im pretty sure the micro SIM will work fine in mine, but i doubt the regular SIM card will work for the iphone 4... If that is the problem, can i get a new SIM card from AT&T...? How much would it cost?

If not, any other way i can get my hands on an iphone 4 for $230 or less?

    You are allowed to use somebody else's upgrade. If another person in your family has an AT&T phone that they will keep, you can use their upgrade, and you will get a new SIM card with the same number. You can also keep the same plan, and there will be no charge for getting an upgrade before the alloted time. My advice, though, would be to wait until they get all of the bugs fixed, because I've heard bad things about the iPhone 4.

    Source(s): I have done the same thing, except I traded my (very bad) Quickfire to an iPhone 3GS.

    Either start a new contract or buy it full price. It's physically impossible to fit a SIM into the iPhone 4 without cutting it down to MicroSIM size. a MicroSIM will also not work in a phone designed for SIM cards.
