Get iPhone 5 on new line and switch to existing

[Timberwolf]

I have a question, now that the iPhone 5 will be using a new, smaller (and incompatible) SIM card compared to the 4S. My mom will be joining our family plan, and I was wondering if it would be possible to have her take my 4S and I would take her new line discount and get an iPhone 5 on my line. I thought it would be a simple switch of SIM cards before the announcement, but now with the announcement would the in-store employees be able to do this for us? I like the 5 but not willing to pay more than a new line price to upgrade from my launch-day 4S! Thank you for any help!

It's will be a simple device switch. Once the new line is added they can move the 4S to her line and put the 5 on urs leaving ur upgrade in tact.

It will require a quick trip to the AT&T store (assuming your US based)... they can sort out the SIM situation and have you totally functional before you leave the store.

Thank you both! Now to play the waiting game!

You may want to go to an AT&T Corporate store because some of the other affilate stores don't have the clearance to change your account.
