Microsim if upgrading from 3gs to 4g?

[gillybean]

I currently have an iPhone 3gs (which isn't upgrade eligible), and I'm on a family plan with my wife (who doesn't have an iPhone).

I'm thinking of having my wife buy an iPhone 4 (because she'd qualify since she's not under contract at the moment), and then switching phones with her (so I get the iPhone 4 while she uses the iPhone 3gs). But since 3gs uses a normal sim and the iPhone 4 uses a microsim, I'd have to find some way to turn my sim into a microsim and turn her microsim into a normal sim.

1. Will AT&T do this kind of sim swapping for me if I visit one of their stores? Or is it more complicated than that?

2. Also, if there are 2 iPhones on a family plan, will the cost be the same as what I'm paying now, except an extra $15/month for the minimal data plan on the second iPhone?

Thanks for any help.

you can try cutting your sim card into a microsim

Either cut your SIM down or ask AT&T to swap them. How about since your wife is eligible you let her have the fancy pants new phone? you can probably survive another year with "old" technology.

An AT&T rep will help you with this whole process. No need to cut sims or anything like that, just go to an AT&T store.

just take it to an AT&T store and they'll switch it for you. I inquired about a similar plan and the manager at my att store said it wasn't a problem.
