3GS/4G sim card question

[JackMcCabe]

So heres my situation my friend is selling me a 4G that has a slight crack on the back for 100$. I currently have a 3GS, now my question is if I buy the 4G could I use my 3GS sim card in it? If not how do you suggest I keep my phone number and data?

Thanks in advance for the help

Yes, but you'll have to trim it to fit.

You can either cut your sim down to a microsim size or go to AT&T and have them replace your regural sim with a Microsim that you can use with an iPhone 4.
They'll take care of it.

Thanks guys,
Is it dangerous to cut the sim card or is it low risk? How much would the AT&T option cost?

It depends how good you are with scissors or a Exacto knife. All you're cutting through is just plastic. AT&T should do it for free, but I know of some people getting charged for it.

If you get a cool rep at AT&T they shouldnt charge you.
Just tell them you want to use this used iphone and your sim wont fit and they should take care of it for you.
Wost things worst they will charge you $10-15 for a new sim.

there isn't a iphone 4G . but I know what you are talking about.

there isn't a iphone 4G.

Yes there is. It was released in June of 2010. Its the 4th generation, 4G, iPhone.

Wrong, That was an Iphone 4. The speed is 3G and not 4G.

What generation was the iPhone 3G?

"G" officially refers to network connectivity, not generation.

Now we are talking!

Not wrong. The #G can also designate which generation iPhone. Just like it designates which generation iPod.

What generation was the iPhone 3G?

The iPhone 3G is the 2nd generation iPhone.

 

[Trauma1]

Not wrong. The #G can also designate which generation iPhone.

And that would mean that the iPhone 3G is the third-generation, which it is not. So it is wrong.

Its only wrong because Apple's marketing changed that. But its different with the iPhone that was released in 2010. Both the 4G and 4 lined up. So with that one iPhone, both terms are acceptable.
