The sticky states that you can't swap the SIM. This is not true, especially since apple provides a tool for doing so.

Hello BBYMemployee,

Thanks for keeping us on our toes.  I've made an update to the FAQ to reflect your correction.

However, I do believe they need to have a 3G simcard. They can't have an older sim card that is not 3G.

Yeah, that's true of all 3G ATT phones. However, very few people have non 3G SIMs. I've come across maybe one or two a month, if that. Even if it doesn't have that little 3G fireball logo, if it says 3G next to the contacts on the back, it'll work.

See my thread Sim cards as I thought I was in this thread when I responded. I really need some sleep. Did not get much over the weekend.

Man we are out in the sticks and some of our customers are using 4 and 5 year old phones. So we do get alot of non 3G sim cards to replace when they do an upgrade. It is ok as we keep plenty in stock.

If you go through AT&T's activation system, if it thinks that the SIM or UICC number is outdated, it will recommend that you replace the SIM.

No, it won't. The ONLY time it will require a new SIM is if the SIM you are trying to use is a non-3G SIM.
