Carrier change for my RAZR V3

If I change carriers from AT&T to Sprint can I still use my RAZR V3 by just changing the SIM card?

I should have added that I purchased the phone online and it is an unlocked phone.

No.

AT&T operates a GSM network. Sprint operates a CDMA network. The two are totally incompatible with each other. You cannot use an AT&T phone on Sprint's network and you cannot use a Sprint phone on AT&T's network.

If you have had it with AT&T for some reason (and there are plenty of reasons to have had it with AT&T), you can switch to T-Mobile where you would likely find compatibility for your phone since both AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM carriers.

Other than the exception noted above, it is not likely that you can take one phone from one carrier to a new carrier. The networks are generally not compatible.

In the United States, only T-Mobile and AT&T will offer compatible nation-wide service for your GSM phone.

Thank you! I`ll go back to AT&T

well let me put my two cents in. if this is the best answer you can give people on this forum than your not as smart as u think or u that the earth isn't round. with in about 60 seconds and i can have any phone working on any provider network and whats so funny is that im am just a dumb ol hillbilly redneck.
