ok so il be trading my s3 with my friends iphone ONLY for a few weeks for reasons unsaid. so do i just swap phones and activate? and what do i do with my SIM card in the s3? does my friend need to buy a new sim card himself? how much $ is a sim?
If it is an iphone 5,just swap sims, that should be it. No need to get new sim cards, though even if you need one, they are free. If some place tries to charge you just call Verizon, they have mailed me sims for free. Note that they ship 2 day, and when I did it, it required a signature

Yeah don't go to a "Verizon premium retailer" they will charge you 15 bucks for a new sim make sure it's just a regular VW store

Both of you should just meet at a Verizon corporate store. The guy getting the S3 will need a sim card anyway.
The iPhone 5 uses a sim even smaller than the one in the S3.
So just got to VZW and get it taken care of quickly.

I am almost but not quite going to thread-jack. Please let us know how this works out for you - I am considering the same thing. I have also read one person in one thread (who may have been mistaken) saying that if you put a 3G only phone on a 4G plan for more than a few days you lose your 4G. I don't think I buy that, but in these days of carriers rap... ummm, I mean monetizing every move you make, it wouldn't surprise me.
No, same plan for 3g or 4g. You can switch any time between smartphones regardless of data capabilities
