I hate the phone I got when i got my prepaid AT&T phone C139 Motorola. My friend offered me his Nokia, or
Verizon VX6000 flip phone He bought at an AT&T Store.
I dont want to pay $100 for another phone when my friend ofered me his free of charge, Can i swap the Sim cards in the phones and it work ? If it makes a difference, he bought his on a contract plan, mine is Prepaid where they deduct from my account, I do not go and buy a card to activate. Can somebody help me out and help me to understand how all this stuff works ? Go easy with me, Im a Kindergartner when it comes to stuff like this….HALP ! ALL phones were purchased at an AT&T Store. He got different phones because he upgraded himself so he has kept the same phone number for years, and just threw the extra phones in a drawyer and saved them,
I dont need anything fancy, just to be able to use the phone when I need it, no camera, no internet, no bells and whistles. Just prepaid service when its time to “re-up” the minutes.

I am trying to find the most efficient and cost-effective way to keep close contact with my boyfriend in Iraq. IM is not good as he said the internet there is very inconvenient, always a long line and the speed is terrible. A lot of people use cell phones.
Seems like I only need to get an Iraq SIM card online, and mail it together with a phone with GSM 900 capatibility. Once he gets it he’ll be able to receive free incoming phone calls.
Is it that simple? Any other hidden cost? Which SIM card is the best? Is Iraqna a good one? Any low rate phone card for me to call him?
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences.

I wanted to know where I can find Samsung SGH-P310 sim free for a cheap price. Its the new card phone, beautiful phone!
Plus what do people think of Samsung phones in general. I was a die hard Nokia fan, but ever since their N series, theyr becoming rather complicated.

Question 1:
My contract with Verizon is ending this month and I want to switch over to Cingular. If I get a cell phone for free or deeply discounted (from Cingular): 1) will they unlock it for me? 2)When I go to other countries, where do I go to get and install a SIM card?
Question 2:
Let’s say I didn’t get a phone from Cingular, but bought an unlocked phone from an independent seller or someplace like Amazon.com. Do I just walk up to the Cingular counter and say, “Hi, I’d like to sign up for service using my own unlocked phone and I’d like one of your SIM cards put into it.”? How exactly does all this work?

I currently live in Okinawa, Japan. I bought a phone when I first got here, which is a good phone but it’s a Japanese phone. So if I take like a video or a picture, its in a different format than my computer recognizes. In addition, I need a new iPod. I have an old school Nano and I have more music than it can hold. So I wanna get an iPhone right? Well, I would have to cancel my contract, pay the $300, and then get a new contract with the same cell phone company. So why not buy an unlocked or jailbroken iPhone right? So what does all that mean? can I just buy one and plug in a new SIM card from any carrier? and if so, when I go home on leave, can I pull out the SIM card and put in a state side SIM card? is the phone assigned to the new carrier or is it free with any carrier that uses a SIM card? It would be great if I could get one that could just swap out SIM cards. Using a Japanese phone in the states is really expensive, from what I learned from my first trip home. Any information would be great. Thanks.
