I brought both an iPhone 5 and 3Gs from the US to Saudi Arabia. I want to keep my iPhone 5 on the US conrtact but want to convert my iPhone 3Gs to a local phone. Is it a simple matter of changing out the SIM card?

I brought both an iPhone 5 and 3Gs from the US to Saudi Arabia. I want to keep the iPhone 5 under a contract in the US. However, I want to use my iPhone 3Gs as a local phone. Is it as simple as changing the SIM card in the 3Gs to use as a local phone. Will I be able to receive emails on the 3Gs with a local SIM card?
