Hello Wayne, know if you buy a phone from AT&T you will be locked to that carrier. However I believe if you buy from the Apple store your information is correct you will be a will to take it to a different carrier. Now however spring is a CD in a network and AT&T is GSM. So consider that whenever you buy your phone. Personally, if you're going to go to spring I'm recommends buying a CDMA phone that talk about data speeds, sprints then used to be good here in Texas but it is gotten really really bad the last couple of months. So I'm my personal opinion I would stay with what you have especially if you have no Wi-Fi.
