Hmm... My sister has "borrowed" my iPhone 3G on a few occasions (for a few hours or so) by swapping our SIMs. We're both on AT&T and she doesn't have data, so when she tries to access Safari without WiFi it just says "no internet connection" or something like that. Similarly, when I try to access internet on her LG slider over 3G, it works just fine (albeit the crappiest internet experience ever).

So all we did was swap SIMs and it worked. Maybe, your case is different because it's an Edge iPhone? Or maybe because my iPhone plan had never been cancelled/upgraded, deactivating the phone? I don't know, but it worked for us.
