Upgrade Swap! Help! AT&T

[JRIMBRI]

Basically I posted before but links didnt work.

Phone A: iPhone 4s (Mine) (not upgrade eligible)
Phone B: Dumb Phone (No data plan) Upgrade Eligible.

I preordered my iPhone 5 with Phone B.
Purchased Smallest data plan possible with Phone B.
When i got my iPhone 5 I want to take Phone A's sim and put into Phone B.
and deactivate Phone B's data plan and go back to dumb phone.
But pHONE A'S Sim is Micro-sim and phone b is nano sim.

How Do i Put Phone A's sim into Phone B (iphone 5) and deactivate the data plan i purchased online and just use Phone A's data plan.

If that makes sense?

Get a new nano SIM from AT&T. I think its like ten bucks. Have them transfer Phone A's number onto that SIM.

From what I was told you need a nano sim, so you probably will have to go to AT&T to get one.

They don't have them yet and someone posted a link on how to do it by calling them but the link didnt work because it was shortened.

Thanks, was also looking for that! Should save me a trip to the AT&T store.

Welcome guys.
I saved it too on my favs cause I'll be doing the same

Wouldn't you still need to ask for the data plan to be cancelled on the dumb phone line?

Thankyou, I was hoping to avoid having to go to the store when my upgrade is up if I can avoid driving an hour

No, cause the phone is never activated on that original line.

OP do not activate the iPhone or else you will need to swap the SIM. But if you take it to AT&T to do the swap they should be able to activate the new iPhone with the old iPhone's number.

I haven't tried this but read it in another thread.

Sweet!

That went swimmingly!

EDIT: apparently when you do this they switch over the information immediately... So now I have no phone till I get home
