Default Upgrade/iPhone question

Hi,

I would like to add a line to my acct to get the new iPhone, then let my daughter have the old line. BUT, she is not responsible enough to have my old 3gs iPhone-- she already broke the iTouch she got for Christmas! Can I take the SIM from the 3gs and drop it into her Go Phone and drop the data from that line? She only needs voice and messaging.

Thanks!

If you bought that iPhone at a reduced price with an upgrade you are locked into the contract for two years. And even if you added a line to get the 4G, then they would require you to keep data on that one for two years also. Sorry to say I dont see a good solution. Call customer service and ask them, they may let you opt out of your current data for a reduced fee.

Buh...

Yes, you can activate a new line, and do the SIM card shuffle. Just be sure to have another GSM phone available to set your daughter up with a working phone.

I recommend having customer care handle this, for reasons I cannot state.

And remember, Asurion now covers the iPhones.
