You can switch your SIM card from the old phone to the iPhone 3GS. Then call AT&T, have them update your IMEI in their system, and select a data plan. Data plans are required to use a smartphone on AT&T.

There is no cost to switch phones and no changes to the contract. The only additional cost is the required data plan.

You will not qualify for the discounted price but you may be eligible for the early upgrade price that runs $200 to $250 more than the price of the discounted phone.
