One possibility is if you have a data cable, transfer the phone book from the Sprint phone to a computer and then transfer the phone book from the computer to the iPhone.
How to transfer contacts from sprint to the iphone.
by hoppy44 - 8/7/08 1:00 PM In reply to: transferring contacts from sprint sim card to iphone. by booandmeI couldn't find the answer to this anywhere online, and was surprised that no one at Apple, Sprint, AT&T, or Best Buy could help.
I went through so much effort that I made it the topic of my blog/podcast and documented the entire process, adding a lot of comedy to it along the way.

If both use the same type of SIM card, transfer via unlocked

I bought a phone from Tigo and wanted to copy the contacts I had on my SIM card
for Movistar Telefonica into it. I went to the Tigo office, but I didn't want to
ask them to unlock it, since I'd just bought it from them. They put my Movistar
SIM card into an unlocked phone, copied the contacts on it into the memory of the unlocked phone. Then, they put my Tigo SIM card into the unlocked phone and copied the contacts from the phone's memory to my Tigo SIM card. That worked fine!
nextel=iden, not GSM like Tigo
