So my friend has a minor cracked galaxy s3 and I have an old iPhone 4S. He wants to sell me the phone for $30 and he said he factory reset it. Is there a way I could use his S3 while still under contract with my iPhone 4S?

Yes, I think you can take the phone down there and switch it onto your contract (correct me if i'm wrong)

As long as the S3 is for Sprint then all you'd have to do is take it to a Sprint store and tell them you want your number activated on that phone and you're good to go.
You could also dial *228 and try to do it over the phone but unless you're familiar with the lingo it can be confusing.

Yes it is a sprint phone. And Is this going to cost me anything to get it switched? Will my bill be affected at all? I know these are probably questions I should ask a sprint employee but thanks for the responses!

Nope, shouldn't cost you anything at all since you got the phone from a third party and has previously been activated on the network.
I am not a sprint employee but I do work in the industry and you should ask them before you make the switch just to be sure.

Could I just take my SIM card out of the side of my iphone and put it in the S3? Or would I have to still activate it and crap? And thanks everyone I appreciate the help

Sprint doesn't use SIM cards, i think they charge a $30 activation fee though.
