    Yeah, but you&#39;ll still be paying the bill for AT&T. The $200 price of the iPhone includes a 2-year contract.

    It&#39;s possible. What you&#39;ll do is you&#39;ll put your Sprint SIM card in the iPhone and it&#39;ll receive the same service that you would on your other Sprint phone. Assuming, of course, you&#39;ve unlocked it or bought it officially unlocked.

    As for the cost, the cost of the 16gb iPhone 3GS (the new one) is $199, with a two year contract. The 32gb is $299. As for buying one that is officially unlocked, those prices are a considerable bit more (something like $499 and $599 for the 16gb and 32gb respectively). What I meant by "paying the bill for AT&T" is that you&#39;ll have to keep your account with AT&T open for one month or so and pay the cancellation fee, or pay for the contract outright, meaning the full 2 years.

    Tbh, if you live in a populated area, want an iPhone, and don&#39;t have any emotional ties to Sprint, I&#39;d just switch to AT&T. I live in a not-so-populated area, roughly 110,000 people, and my service is excellent. No 3G unfortunately, but EDGE is decent enough until I go to college (which is a 3G area, lol)

    yeah digging around a bit and there is little support online it seems for sprint but i guesss the hybrid sprint phones use actual sim cards i might be able to get someone to hook me up with one because the phone i have is internal it might even just be something i can ask for from sprint
