Can I put a SIM card from another AT&T phone into my iPhone?

I just bought my iPhone 3 months ago but my new job will be providing me a new AT&T phone (maybe Blackberry or a standard phone).  I have no desire to carry 2 phones, but hate that I just bought this iPhone recently too and I love my iPhone!  I was wondering if I could put the SIM card from the Blackberry or standard phone into my iPhone and have it work?  I know it might be tricky with the Blackberry data plan on an iPhone though and a standard phone SIM will not give me any kind of data access (and I cannot make any changes on the plan).   Or am I just better off selling this iPhone?  If so, craigslist or ebay and what's a good asking price... 32GB, unlocked, jailbroken.

Switching Iphone to Blackberry

I just bought an unlocked Storm 2 and want to try it out on AT&T's network, and if I don't like it I want to go back to my Iphone. I want to take the SIM out of the Iphone and use it with the Blackberry. However I do want to keep the Iphone as an Ipod Touch (i have read the instructions on how to do so on the Apple website). Any suggestions on how to go about this? I did buy a new AT&T sim card off of ebay just in case I would need it.

Apple iPhone Deposit refund issue

I purchased an iPhone 3G in March of 2009, and had to put down the deposit of $500. I switched from my iPhone to Blackberry Bold 9700 in December of 2009 and was informed that upon doing so I would have to pay the ETF which was $175 - $5 for every month, which was 9 months. so i paid $130. I was told by the saleswoman who I went through the switch of plans with, that I would be getting my refund of $500 back minus the $130, and having gone through the deposit procedure noticed that I am now overdue for the return of my deposit. I wanted to find out the status of my deposit. I know that I had canceled before the 2 years but I don't think that should matter, because I didn't cancel with AT&T, just the iPhone service.

Email bounce back from BB account now that I am using iphone 3Gs

I walked into the AT&T store a couple of weeks ago not intending to buy a new phone but...I came out with an iphone 3Gs. Now the problem. I had several email accounts set up in the Blackberry. I did not close those accounts before the iphone was activated. I set up my accounts in the iphone and now if anyone sends an email to my IMAP account, they get an email with the following message: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) Fri, January 22, 2010 10:47:55 AM From: Mail Delivery System Add to Contacts To: xxxxxxxxxx @bellsouth.net         Delivery Status Notification (Failure).eml (3KB) Note: Forwarded message is attached. The following message to was undeliverable. The reason for the problem: 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'5.1.1 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table' Reporting-MTA: dns; as38.bis.na.blackberry.com Final-Recipient: rfc822; xxxxxxxxx@att.blackberry.net Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure) Remote-MTA: dns; [172.20.192.16] Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'5.1.1 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table' (delivery attempts: 0)   I have talked to our IT dept and looked my self to see if I have mail forwarding setup to the old BB email address. I do not have an mail rule setup to forward mail to the old BB address. I have talked with AT&T tech support three times this week to try and resolve this issue. The first time I called the lady saw my old BB account and she deleted it. The second time I called the guy contacted someone up higher in the tech support chain. They told him it was a mail rule. The lady I spoke with today said to delete the IMAP account out of the iphone and see if things would clear up. I have deleted the account from the iphone and if an email is sent to the IMAP account, the sender will still get the message above. Can someone give me some insight on how to correct this. Basically, AT&T is at the end of the line with this and my IT dept can't do anything else.   Thanks

Thinking of swapping over to the Blackberry Bold 9700.

If you read my issues with the iPhone the other day, then you may understand why I'm thinking of swapping over to the blackberry. I had the blackberry curve before I ever purchased the iPhone and never had any problems at all. I love all the things an iPhone can do, but don't really care for all the problems that comes with it. So does anyone out there want an iPhone or maybe is eligible for upgrade? If you're eligible for upgrade, you can get the blackberry bold 9700 for only $99.00 and you can swap your phone my iPhone. I just exchanged my iPhone out, so it's in mint condition. I'll even throw in a holster as well. Also, I have the apple care protection plan too. Just reply and we can work something out.

Trading

Hi, I wanted to ask you guys a question about my iPhone. I have a friend that I was going to trade my iPhone 3G for his Blackberry Bold 9700.   He has yet to buy it but he is going to. When he buys it AT&T is going to make him add a blackberry plan. I'm just not sure how it is going to work, can I put my sim card in the Blackberry after I erase my iPhone plan and add a blackberry plan? and can he put the sim card that comes with the Blackberry into my iPhone and add an iPhone plan? Any suggestions? sorry for such an odd question.   Thank you

Buying iPhone out-of-state

I've bought my daughter a gift card for an iPhone in Massachusetts, though she lives in NYC and has a NY cellphone number on her BlackBerry. She wants to redeem it here for the holiday. I'm told it's not impossible for her to have her out-of-town number activated in a different state, but I just want to confirm this is possible. Can anyone help?

family plan with iphone

I just switched from my blackberry, with the data plan, to an iphone. i bought the iphone off craigslist. i understand that the bb plan will not work with the iphone and am going to change the plan very soon.    so, two questions.   can i just change the plan to the iphone plan without renewing a contract? can i change it automatically, or at the end of the month?   and   right now, we have three lines. two normal phones with unlimited texting, and one bb with unlimited data and texting. we are using the cheapest plan, minutes wise. how much do you think it would cost if the black berry line was switched to an iphone plan? is there any type of chart or something that can help me figure this out? thank you?
