Can I switch an iPhone from Sprint to AT&T?
I want to buy an iPhone 4 but my friend's service is Sprint. I have AT&T so can I switch the service? I heard you can switch the service if you can put a sim card in the iPhone but i'm not sure.
It won't work, because the Sprint iPhone 4 (and the Verizon iPhone 4) don't use SIM cards at all, they are CDMA-only phones. But to use AT&T you must use a phone that has a SIM card activated on your AT&T account.
So you have to either buy an AT&T iPhone 4/4S or an unlocked iPhone 4/4S.
P.S. You will have the same problem with the iPhone 4S from Sprint and Verizon: even though those phones do have SIM cards, the SIM card is only used when the phone is outside the USA. Inside the USA those phones run on CDMA and ignore the SIM card.
Not possible. Sprint is CDMA (does not use SIMs) while AT&T is GSM (use SIMs). The SIM card slot on the phone will only work with GSM providers overseas.

- Can I switch my Verizon iPhone 5 add on to a Sprint plan? So about a year ago my boyfriend put me on is Verizon plan with an iPhone 5 so I only have to pay $40 a month. Well, we broke up and he wants me off his line but I don't want to pay like $100 a month. My brother has an iPhone on a Sprint carrier and he said I could add my line to his so I wouldn't have to pay as much. Is there anyway I can take my Verizon iPhone 5 and put it on Sprint? I'm not sure how it works. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
