i am trading my droid 4 for an iphone 4. i understand they both require micro sim cards. but  my question is my droid 4 is a 4g lte micro sim and the iphone is a 3g phone. so can i still use my droid 4 sim or do i have to get one for 3g for the iphone? if i have to get a new micro sim how much will it cost? thank you

It won't Cost a Penny are you doing this at a Corporate Verizon store ? I'm not sure what they Give to trade in the Droid 4 they were going to only give me $35.00 for my X so i kept it you might want to with your Droid 4 but if they give you a good deal go for it. Back to the Card i think the card can be Transferred from the Droid to the iPhone but i'm not totally for sure but as i said if it's not they can get you one to go with your new iPhone..b33

Well ok Cool Aah i would say it would be best to get new cards.!  if you can both go to the Store at the same time an say what your wanting to Do i think they can provide you with a new Card each.. Doesn't hurt to Ask.!  An i feel this might be a very Good friend thing or something like that..That's Cool b33

Do you have both phones to were you can Swamp Cards ?  One thing i want to Know when you make this swamp if that is what your Doing Be very Careful handling the Sim Cards. Why you might ask Sim card are very Sensitive you want to Avoid Bending them an touching then in the Gold area of the Card because they are Sensitive to Static Electricity + the Oils in our Fingers an touching or Rubbing the Surface can cause the Card to Fail or cause the phone to have Issues. So make sure ya handle it by it's Edges..

no i dont have both right now, just my droid 4. this person and i are meeting at a verizon store tomorrow to inspect before the swap. but if we both like what we see and want to continue with the trade i want to make sure i dont have to buy a new micro sim due to the 3g and 4g differences in the phones. but yes i understand the reasons for handling a sim card properly, thank you for the info though.

Well i see it like this:  A persons Time is Mostly at Home or at Work an if you have a Router at Both you can Hook up to Wi-Fi an get just as good as you Would From 4G. Were i live here in Kansas we don't have 4G yet even though it's around us but even when we get it Here i still will use my Wi-Fi at Home..b33
