Swap handsets / move SIM to new phone
Getting a new handset and I am on a fairly new smartphone prepaid plan but I want to use another phone. Is it as simple as moving the SIM to another phone or do I have to do something with AT&T to let them know about it?

That must be it, they got my SIMM out of a box of what looked like several hundred SIM credit cards. It was not bundled with any phone.

I have a prepaid Iphone 3G. I just put the sim card in and had to plug into iTunes. It seems the last firmware update was what changed that.
If you are Tech savvy you can unlock the phone and use it. There is a site you surf to with Safari and you can either use the prepaid data packets, or it will block the data and use the Wifi only. I set mine up and I use the full functions of the iPhone.

I have had my SIM for 2 years. My friend took it out of my iphone 5, unknown to me, and put it in his phone and it worked. However, after he had returned it to my iphone, my iphone had become blocked. I had to call ATT to have them unblock it. They said the phone had been reported stolen! How does transferring a sim to another phone for a test equate to my iphone being stolen? After all, if it had been stolen, the thief wouldn't put the original SIM back into my iphone because then it could be tracked with find my iphone!
