Is your iPhone carrier-locked to a particular phone company?
If it is, and you try to switch to a different phone company, you will find out that the new phone company's SIM card does not work in your phone. You must contact the original carrier and get them to release their lock. Only then will you be able to switch carriers.

Your tag line says that you have an iPhone 4s. That appears to be a 3G phone. In the U.S., carriers shut down their 3G networks a while back, and in some other parts of the world, carriers may also be shutting down those networks. The day may arrive when, whether your phone is carrier-locked or not, you can no longer make cellular calls using it because there are no longer any cellular networks compatible with it.
