Q: Is It Possible to Get Cell Service for iPhone 3GS (2016)
Hello all! I have an old iPhone 3GS that I would like to lend for someone to use as a starter iPhone before they get a new one. I would like to know if it is at all possible to get Cell Service for this device from any carriers, particularly Verizon Wireless? I know it would have to be a 3G signal, but I've seen other people who still use iPhone 4's with a 3G connection in present day. So, what do you think? Is it a possibility? Any answers appreciated, thanks!
iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.1.6, Some Scratches, Good Condit. 1/6

Not with Verizon, no. The iPhone 3GS is a GSM-only phone so you may still be able to use it with AT&T or an MVNO who uses AT&T's network. But it cannot connect to any CDMA based carrier's network.
