Yes, all you need to do is simply switch your current SIM card from your current phone to the 3GS. Everything will remain the same - your plan, account balance, phone number, etc.
It's really that simple. 🙂

Yes, this definitely can be done. I used a 3GS myself on my prepaid GoPhone plan.
If you're coming from AT&T postpaid/contract service, you may have to get a new SIM card. Your service would be closed on your postpaid account and new service would be set up on a prepaid account. You should be able to keep the same phone number when switching over.
The best way for you to do this would be to visit an AT&T corporate store. They would best be able to help you with setting up your new account and especially porting over your number. Don't let them tell you it cannot be done because it definitely can.
Good luck!

Programming as in...? Could you be a little more specific? If you have intentions of using a data package with your iPhone, you may have to edit some APN settings to allow prepaid data to work. Chances are you won't have to do anything, but it's good to make sure.
By the way, I wanted to let you know that you will know immediately that your service is ready to go when you insert your SIM into the iPhone and it shows 'AT&T' in the upper left hand corner where the signal bars are.

What exactly do you mean by "G3" SIM card? If you are not using an AT&T SIM card, that would likely explain why your 3GS may not be detecting the SIM card.
