What is the difference between a SIM card and a Memory card for a razr v3m?

I have the Motorolla v3m razr phone with no sims or memory card. The providor I use says they do NOT sell or give the sims cards when you purchase the phone from them. I am not sure if getting a memory card would do just as well or if I need to find a SIM card first.

What is the difference between a SIM card and a Memory card for a razr v3m?
moon - a sim card holds your phone number and contact information if your using a GSM service then it will be required.


The memory card will hold your music, pictures ect but is not necessary for the phone.
Reply:if you're with verizon or sprint or any other CDMA network provider company, then they don't use SIM cards, but the memory card is something different you can use it if your phone is capable, SIM cards are only used for companies who run on GSM network like AT%26amp;T and T-Mobile...








hope that helped
Reply:a sim card relates to how your phone company bills you i.e. when you make a call it goes to cell tower and then to the other persons phone, this information gets transmitted to the sim so the company knows who you called, how many minutes were used, etc.. a memory card only allows you to store things on your phone i.e. pics, ringtones, etc. if your phone provider requires a sim card to use your phone you will need one for the phone to work. if they do not then you would want a memory card to store pictures, etc as mentioned above. hope this helps
Reply:That's strange, because a SIM card is required on GSM systems to operate the phone. The SIM has the operating system of the carrier as well as your phonebook %26amp; settings. With carriers like AT%26amp;T, you can change phones easily by moving over your sim card from your older phone. If you have no SIM card, you are not connected to any network.





The Memory card is used to store photos, videos, and music downloads. That operated independently of the wireless network and phone service provider.
Reply:The sim card works by providing you with a number. The memory card is for storing stuff on, hench the name MEMORY CARD. SIM, stands for Server Identification Module. A memory card will not work in the place of a sim card. Oh and welcome to the year 2008, where have you been for the last 10 years at least.
