Default 3g iphone...with old att sim card?

I want to get a 3g iphone from ebay, but will my old att sim card work with it?

I can tell ATT I lost my sim card and get a new one, but do you think it will work?

If anyone has a 3g iphone i can test my sim card on, holla

I'll buy some beers!

Not 100% sure, but I don't think you can.

Well u dont need a new Sim Card. What happens is that u hook ur iphone to itunes and register the number of ur phone. then wat happens is that it negates the old sim card and re-enters into the built in sim card in the iphone. I have the old one thinking i might get the new one. but thats how the process goes pretty much. unless they really changed it from the old iphone. Good Luck

Don't think it's possible since you actually have to activate in store and there was no sim card involved.

So what happens if u buy a 3G at an apple store. As i said i have the old version of the Iphone there is a sim card already built inside and I had to activate my phone with itunes. Basically the process killed my last sim card and establish it to the iphone
