I'm not eligible for the early upgrade for the iPhone 4S but my wife is and she's allowing me to use it. My question is, when the phone arrives via fed ex from the Apple online store, should I swap my iPhone 4 sim card into it or will I be able to set it up with the supplied sim? If you can do either is there a preferred method? I wasn't sure if the sim comes with my wife's number pre loaded, or if that's something you enter during the setup?
Set it up with the SIM provided and the line that it was upgraded on. And after its working, then call your provider to switch SIMs and to put your wife's info back.
I work for AT&T, they allow cross upgrades, but there's a set of procedures for it. And whenever people don't do it that way first, it's always a mess.
Verizon has the buddy ?, not sure about Sprint.
Also, if they send you a extra SIM, then they are telling you the one on the phone is invalid. Put that one in, activate have provider change things.
Bottom line, get it working first, then call provider and swap stuff.
