Subject: Activating old cell phone for my son



Eastern Iowa
Does anyone have an idea of what it takes to activate an old phone with a different carrier for use?

My mother in law gave my son her old Samsung S3 phone when her company upgraded her to an iPhone, but they are with a different carrier than we use. My son is 12 and getting started with football practice and such, and we were thinking it would be nice if he could use it to get in touch with us by text or use it in emergencies. There should be a way to do that, I just don't know what it is. Any recommendations?

Is it possible to just use the thing on public wi-fi networks with a texting app and not bother with reconnecting the phone to a service at all? IF that would work, that might be the best way to go.
