The 3GS card is a mini-sim and the iphone 4s takes a micro-sim.
You can cut the sim to the correct size yourself or request a micro-sim from your phone provider.

There are sim cutters to buy or just freehand it

Oh and if you cut it wrong the sim won't work at all, just so you know.

Thanks guys. Think I'll go back to shop to get card cut. Safer that way. You'd think they would have told me that when I picked it up though.

if your sim is an old one the contacts might be too big to use a cutter and you might need a new sim anyway
