So I just preordered 2 new iPhone 4's from Best Buy and intend on selling one on Ebay. Once they transfer and setup both phones, how do I go back and transfer one of my accounts back to my old phone? Is this simply done in iTunes? Maybe a stupid question.

Thanks All!
 
So you are getting 2 phones and activating both phones on your account (2 lines).

Now you want to switch one phone line with an iPhone 4 back to a 3g iPhone. Normally you would just take the SIM out and put it in the 3g phone. Since the iPhone 4 has a micro SIM you will need some sort of adapter to convert it from a micro SIM to a regular size SIM. That should be all that you need to do.

You don't need to reactivate anything. They have you locked in for a 2 year contract so what hardware you use if it is equal or inferior shouldn't matter.
 
Correct. I'm upgrading 1 phone and selling the other. We are on the Family plan so we have 2 valid lines. My wife is just choosing to stay on the old phone and we're selling the newer iPhone 4.

I can't imagine trying to call ATT to figure this out the day of. I'd prefer to have Best buy just NOT activate it in the store and let iTunes activate at home.

We'll see.
