Just Bought A Phone but I Think I Want My Old One Back. How Do I?

Hello, hello, I bought an iPhone 4S around December 20th for myself. I used to have a Blackberry. I love the iPhone but, I just don't use it enough to warrant having it. I loved my BB, it was exactly what I needed. How would I go about getting my BB back? I still have the phone and, I've been with AT&T for about 8 years. My son has the iPhone 4, I was wondering if I could just give the newer one to him and say it's his Birthday present lol.

Go to AT&T store and get a new SIM and switch back to BB. Give your son the 4s and have him get a new SIM activated on his number.
You are still locked to the 2 year agreement and will not be upgrade eligible even though you gave away your phone.

Why would the son need a new SIM card?

Does the 4 use a micro sim like the 4s?

then he would just need to swap sim cards. I thought that the micro sim started with the 4s, not the 4.
My mistake.

no started with the 4,

 

"The iPhone 4 uses a Micro-Sim card on iPhone 4 devices running on a GSM network, which is positioned in an ejectable tray, located on the right side of the device. On a CDMA network, however, the phone connects to the network using an ESN. All prior models have used regular Mini-SIM cards. Depending on the operator, Micro-SIM cards may not be available for all networks globally. As a technical workaround it is possible to trim a Mini-SIM card with a knife or scissors so that it fits into the Micro-SIM tray."
