What companies uses SIM cards?

I am about to purchase an UNLOCKED GSM and trying to figure out the companies that will have a SIM card included.

What companies uses SIM cards?
Are you American? If you're looking for a national carrier only AT%26amp;T and T-Mobile use GSM.





Once you get your unlocked phone, just go to a company store and ask them you want to set up a new line with your own phone, and you just need a new sim card. the card will be $25, plus the cost of activation, etc.

t-mobile and at%26amp;t-usa
Reply:T-Mobile and AT%26amp;T. You have to be careful, since the frequencies for both companies is not the same. So, even some tri-band phones may not work on both networks. You could play safe and buy a quad-band phone. Or, before purchasing the phone, make sure that the frequencies of that phone are compatible with both providers. By the way, if you know which network you're going to sign up with, they will give you a choice from some very good phones (2-year contract) free of cost.

Do all unlocked Nokia mobile phones support T-Mobile pay as you go sim cards?

I HAVE A T MOBILE PAY AS YOU GO SIM CARD AND WANT TO GET A NEW NOKIA PHONE ON EBAY (MOTOROLA V3i WON'T STAY CHARGED FOR MORE THAN A DAY). AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ANY NOKIA PHONE IS UNLOCKED IF IT WILL SUPPORT MY SIM CARD. DOES ANYONE KNOW OR SHOULD I RESEARCH WHICH NOKIA PHONES SUPPORT MY T-MOBILE SERVER? I AM NO TECHNO PERSON!!!

Do all unlocked Nokia mobile phones support T-Mobile pay as you go sim cards?
when your cell is unlocked you can use it to any network anywhere in the world under any plan. just simply put your sim inside your phone and thats it. Even if your mobile phone is locked to a network you can still unlock it. The whole process takes about 2 minutes just go to google, type "how to unlock a 6600 phone" and google it. note that 6600 is just a sample. put your mobile phone model following with your make instead


What the cheapest SIM card i can buy to get a mobile number in london?

I have never been in london, before, but i need to get a SIM card so i can get a mobile number in london and be reached. I've seen vodafone and t mobile websites, and although they seem to sell SIM cards at 50p and free, respectively, I don't know what's bets. Besides, i need to know if there's one distributor of those companies in the heathrow airport so i can buy my SIM as soon as i get to London, any information will be appreciated.

What the cheapest SIM card i can buy to get a mobile number in london?
T-Mobile is best for texting - you can get a free SIM card from their website. Vodafone is best if you will be receiving a lot of calls from overseas and making a lot of calls and texts overseas (go for their Passport option, they also have free SIM cards available on the website).





The problem is you won't have time to get the free SIM card from the website, Also you will need to have your phone unlocked for another company's SIM card to work in your phone. I think your best bet is probably going to the Vodafone store in Heathrow Terminal 1 and picking up a SIM for about £5. Or find out from your current mobile provider who the English equivalent is - getting your phone unlocked can cost about £10-£20 so getting the wrong SIM card could prove very pricey.
Reply:i can get em for 3 quid
Reply:You don't need to buy a sim card to get a mobile number if you are going to connect with O2 network because O2 gives 2 free sim cards per person. You can order on-line at www.o2.co.uk.

make sure u keep some credit on there though otherwise u lose the free messages.





call charges are reasonable too.

you can get it unlocked, however this is ilegal (this is under review as EU law could make it legal to unlock them)





but if you unlock it your warrenty will be void, and apple may send updates to stop your phone from working.





also to get an iphone you need to sign a contract with O2, meaning you are stuck in a contract anyway.


How do you remove the sim card from a Razor V3?

How do you remove the sim card from a Razor V3?
Hello,





You'll need to remove the lid on the back of the phone. It's the lower half. There's a diagram on page 9 (or 11) of the following Adobe PDF:

Is it possible to make a cell phone which may be used for four different sim cards and all active at the same?

How do I get phone numbers from my SIM card on my old cell phone to show up on the new cell phone?

I just purchased a replacement phone that is unlocked and also from ATT as my old phone is from ATT. I put the SIM card in and the phone is working, however, my phone list/address book appears empty. DO I need to do something else? I still have the same carrier and all I did is change phones and SIM cards.





Thanks in advance.

How do I get phone numbers from my SIM card on my old cell phone to show up on the new cell phone?
you probably just had your numbers stored in the phone's memory instead of the SIM memory. put your SIM back into your old phone and copy all your contacts to the SIM. there should be an option to do this when looking at your contact list. when looking at the contact list, go to options..and then copy to SIM...then select all contacts, wait for the phone to finish copying them to the SIM, then you're done. now you can put your SIM back into your new phone and all your contacts should be there!
Reply:You would need to put your old sim card into your new phone. Now if you have done that and you still have no address book then you must have saved your contacts on the phone instead of the SIM. I have done that before and it sucks. What you can do then is take you SIM and put it back in the old phone (if it works), and you sync your phone book to the card and then put the card in the new phone and all the info should be on there. I just had to do this a couple of weeks ago and I am with T Mobile.





What is up with the haters giving my GREAT answer a thumbs down!


Which cellphones have sim cards which can be changed at another country and be used there?

GSM phones use a sim card. T-Mobile and ATT are GSM carriers but the phones are usally locked.


If you have service with these carriers you can call customer service to get the unlock code for free.





You would want a GSM quad band phone for traveling. These phones will work when unlocked with any GSM carrier in the world.

Does verizon sell sim cards?

I recently bought a non-verizon phone overseas and would like to use it over here.

Reply:Verizon sells prepaid cards with minutes that you put on your phone. I don't know what a sim card is, but I think this is it.
Reply:No. Verizon works on a CDMA network, phones with SIM cards usually only work on a GSM network.





So if you're in the United States, your only options for national coverage are AT%26amp;T/Cingular (the largest), and T-mobile. If the phone's unlocked, just go to the local retail store and sign up for a card, or on a prepaid plan, it should slip in and work for th e most part.
Reply:Verizon's network is CDMA. They don't use sim cards. GSM phones are the only ones that use sim cards. GSM phones only work with GSM providers(like Cingular and T-Mobile). They can not be used on a CDMA network. They are two completely different technologies and are not compatible with each other.


Swapping sim cards on nokia phones?

Currently I have nokia 6102, I want to buy the nokia 6131 (unlocked) and just switch the sim card from the 6102. I am with Cingular and they do not the 6131. Can this be done without a problem and do I need to let Cingular know I have switched phones or will my service not perform correctly?

You can use your sim card and no you do not need to alert cingular that you are using a unlocked phone. Just make sure that the phone uses a band that is supported by Cingular.
Reply:The sim card will work fine and so will the phone. Just let Cingular know about the change so they can update their info on your a/c.

Hi Ish,





As long as you get a phone that will use the Sim card you will be O.K. Be sure you get one that is compatible with the AT%26amp;T network. A GSM phone is your best bet.





I did that when my wifes phone died because our contract wasn't up and they wanted too much for a new phone.

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.

Ok 1st do you want to extend your contract or just buy the phone? If you extend your contract you'll get a discount and a rebate of 50 bucks I think...(you pay ithink 200 after rebate).


If you don't want to extend your contract you will have to buy the phone at retail price (449.99). There is no problem but you will need a data plan to use email and internet. Also there is an upgrade fee of 18 bucks if you upgrade (2 yr agreement)...but in exchange you'll be getting a discount on the phone.


The best phone for att right now is iphone or att tilt 8525...gps touch screen mp3 player email internet blah blah blah...tilt is 600 bucks and 400 with contract. 430 with upgrade. Iphone is 425 but to get this you will have to go to a DIRECT STORE NOT AUTHORIZED DEALER.

It will work just swithing the sim card yes!

How do I go about purchasing a SIM card in the US for use in international European travel?

I'm going to be traveling to Europe in a couple weeks, and I'm trying to get cell phone service while I'm there. I've got my hands on an unlocked GSM phone, but I'm curious how I go about purchasing a SIM card for use in international travel. I know that you can buy SIM cards for one country at a time, but can you buy a SIM card that will work in multiple countries? Are there any companies in the US that sell these SIM cards so that I could buy one before I travel? Thanks!

How do I go about purchasing a SIM card in the US for use in international European travel?
Actually, torskie is somewhat correct. you will need an unlocked QUADBAND GSM phone. Quadband allows you to use it anywhere in the world.





But wrong about that you only need the phone. You do need a prepaid SIM card. And it's only possible to buy a SIM card for multiple countries IF that service is availble in that country. I'm posting a link at the bottom that lists a SIM card that will work in multiple countries; I hope this helps you.
Reply:No. It's not the SIM card you need, but a tri band or quad band phone. I have a Motorola V220 for instance, which works fine in Europe with Cingular service. The calls are expensive, but can be done.

Reply:sim card r used to store phone ids


memory cards r used to store ringtones images..extra cool stuff
Reply:SIM cards are used only to store the phone ID number and perhaps address book and phone settings. The memory cards are the same cards used in digital cameras, MP3 players and other devices to store music, movies and other files.
Reply:Memory cards as it name is to memory file into it. SIM (Subscriber Identity Module ) is part of a removable smart card ICC (Integrated Circuit Card), also known as SIM Cards, for mobile cellular telephony devices such as mobile computers and mobile phones. SIM cards securely store the service-subscriber key (IMSI) used to identify a subscriber. The SIM card allows users to change phones by simply removing the SIM card from one mobile phone and inserting it into another mobile phone or broadband telephony device.





SIM cards are available in two standard sizes. The first is the size of a credit card (85.60 mm × 53.98 mm x 0.76 mm). The newer, more popular miniature-version has a width of 25 mm, a height of 15 mm, and a thickness of 0.76 mm. However most SIM cards are supplied as a full-sized card with the smaller card held in place by a few plastic links and can be easily broken off to be used in a phone that uses the smaller SIM.

Can nextel sim cards work in boost phones?

We bought my daughter a Boost phone because her Nextel phone speaker went out and we are on contract with Nextel. All we needed was a new phone. The phone is asking for a "special access code". Does anyone have that code? According to Boost, I may be able to get it from Nextel but, of course , they are closed today.

Can nextel sim cards work in boost phones?
The phone is currently locked to Boost Mobile. You have to get the phone unlocked before it will work with a Nextel sim card. Boost Mobile is the one that you are supposed to be able to get the unlock code from. Nextel can only do it for Nextel phones.
Reply:Since it is a new phone, I am almost sure that the special access code if automatically set to 0000 which you can cutomize later. Try 0000. If it doesn't work...go to Nextel Tomorrow to see if they can help you.

Yes go to a Tmobile store and ask them for a sim card. They tell them you want to have it registered under a pre-paid service and they'll give you a new number and all you have to do is re-load the phone number with minutes everytime you run low. You can reload by checking account, debit/credit cards, or go to any grocery/department store (Target, Wal-Mart, Kroger) and you can buy one with cash.

Will the MOTOKRZR K1 work with boost mobile sim cards?
Boost Mobile is a CDMA carrier (They DONT use simcards) you can only make the phone work with another CDMA carrier such as Sprint or Verizon but before doing that you must "Flash" the phone!

Why wont my cell let me switch sim cards?
I think you will find that your phone is 'locked' to a network, assuming that your new sim is on a different network? If that is the case then you will have to either get your phone unlocked or get a sim card on the same network.

Are BOOST MOBIL SIM CARDS compatiable with using in NEXTLE PHONES?

Putting a BOOST MOBILE SIM CARD into a NEXTLE BLACKBERRY phone and getting the same features and/or capabilities via the Boost account?

Are BOOST MOBIL SIM CARDS compatiable with using in NEXTLE PHONES?
This can be a problem and you need to know what type of service you have! Nextel uses IDEN and if your new service is GSM for example, then no, it will not work. Look at a website called www.mobile-phone-solutions.com They have a pretty good description of service types available.


Do t-mobile sidekicks use SIM cards and can they be unlocked and used on an AT&T network?

at%26amp;t is the only network that really works when i am home but i have had this strange attraction to the sidekick 3

Do t-mobile sidekicks use SIM cards and can they be unlocked and used on an AT%26amp;T network?
Although i've never personally done this, i am a AT%26amp;T rep. Seeing as T-Mobile does use the same sim cards basically, if a sidekick was unlocked, Yes, you should be able to slide an AT%26amp;T sim card into it and use it. But again it has to be unlocked specifically for AT%26amp;T and this is only in theory. I cannot 100% assure you that this will work. Its definately worth a go though. Even as an AT%26amp;T guy, i'd love to see a sidekick on our network.

Since Verizon Dont Use SIM Cards...How Can I Get A Verizon Phone Turned Into A Prepaid Phone?

To activate your Verizon phone on prepay call this number and tell them you would like to do so.1-800-256-4646 and they would be happy to set you up with a prepay account.

How do i unblock my Vodaphone Phone so that it will take other sim Cards?

Nokia 6280 is a BB5 phone and these (BB5 phones) are a bit hard to unlock. Most high street unlockers cannot unlock these phones at the moment but its worth a try. The other option is to phone up Vodafone to give you the unlock code. If you are on contract and you have passed the 12th month of the contract then they can give it to you for free but otherwise they will charge you for the code.





If you search on the internet you can find some unlocking software which can unlock the phone but then you need to buy the necessary accessories, e.g. cable.

Some cell phone providers like T-mobile will give you the code to unlock your cell phone after 3 or 6 months of service. Other companies like Qwest will not give you the code so you will have to find someone to Hack the code. Talk to the phone provider and try to get them to unlock it.

Unless all of that is stored to your SIM card, Yes.

I just got a different cell phone. Will I loose all my backgrounds and music when I switch SIM cards?
Most likely yes. Typically your numbers that are saved on the sim are the only things that will transfer over. In some cases if you are able to connect your phone to your computer you are able to transfer to your computer, and then the new phone.

If there is a lock by them then you wont be able to send anyway since they are locked to the phone.

The GSM model should. It appears to go by the KG800 model number.





Do *not* get the CDMA one, which appears to go by SV590 or VX8500. These do not use SIM cards.
Reply:buying an unlocked Verizon model will not work on the t-mobile network. The reason being is Verizon uses a technology called CDMA to send and receive calls, where t-mobile uses GSM. The only other carrier in the US that uses GSM is Cingular. If your looking for a cool MP3 player phone that is GSM try the new KRAZR, it's smaller than the razr and much better looking.

I heard that you can put t-mobile sim cards into cingular phones without unlocking them is this true?
Phones that have a branding by a network, for example a RAZR that has a Cingular name on it, are generally locked to discourage you from switching networks. But people have found a way to unlock it so you can use it with other GSM-based networks not just here but even around the world as long as your phone is at least a tri-band.





So, a T-mobile SIM will NOT work on a Cingular phone that is LOCKED.





But you can get your phone unlocked by phone retailers, not the Cingular store kind, for cheap...about $10-$20.

Reply:Cingular phones use a SIM card...that card identifies your account. It stores your phone #'s, downloads, etc...


You can buy one in a store that carries SIM phones...When you buy a new phone, you can put your SIM in it....but usually does come with a new one. The newer ones can hold more info....to transfer your address book from one to another, the store can put them on a SIM reader. Downloads are not transferable.


If you do get a new SIM card, you must call CS to activate it.

Can I find a cell phone which support 2 SIM cards simultaneusly?
i don't think so but yes there is this thing available in the market which allows some phones to operate 2 sim cards simultaneously so you should inquire about that with your local vendor and do ask for compatibility with your handset beforehand only.
Reply:There's no such phone to the best of my knowledge, however there's a service that allows you to have 2 different numbers on one cell phone, but you can only make calls from one of the numbers (you choose which one). You will receive calls from both numbers but you can only make calls from 1 of the numbers. This is a feature/service provided by the Wireless Service Provider, not by the phone. Unfortunately, no provider in the US offers that service yet. If you go to Europe though, most of the providers have this service available.


Where can I buy sim cards for mobile phones in the UK?

I want to buy them wholesale and resell them

Where can I buy sim cards for mobile phones in the UK?
Whatever you do - don't buy from eBay - I work for T-mobile and I see a lot of people who have bought sim cards from eBay to find they have been put into hibernation - i.e. suspended for non-use – this carries a £10 reconnection charge and so many aggravated customers. Other issues come up as well such as if registered you will not be able to pass privacy policy to access the accounts to change details, thus will make the sim cards pretty much useless.





I wouldn't really know about wholesale to be honest with you, not my area of expertise. I do know you can get the odd couple of sim cards from most network sites - e.g. http://www.t-mobile-campaign.co.uk/sim


http://mates.o2.co.uk/index.aspx?


It's worth grabbing them.
Reply:you need to contact each mobile operator that you want to sell the sim cards for. they will advise you of the best prices they can provide the cards at to you.


however in all honesty it is normally cheaper for customers to buy sim cards over the internet direct from the mobile operator that they wish to use.


good luck to you. but the market is saturated with cheap mobile accessories and as for the sim cards mobile operators do them normally for around £5 or less plus delivery. which makes you as a potential reseller with very little markup.


I remember when i worked for a local wholesaler they sold the top up scratch cards for mobile phones at 10% below face value. so i'm guessing they only made about a 10% profit per top up.





is it realy worth your time to buy and sell these cards? I'm guessing not.


www.o2.co.uk (.com) www.orange.com, www.virginmobile.com to name but a few of the hundreds of operators around the globe.


you would be best advised to find out the international phone operators and attempt to sell cheap pay as you go sim cards with a few pound of credit so people can take them on holiday and phone home cheaply. seems like a better option. but anyone with internet access can use skype to call any phone worldwide for the cost of virtually a local call www.skype.com with skype out credit available that is.

It's not even worth it, believe me.





DON'T buy SIM cards off eBay because you'd have to change the owner details and everything which is far too complex and requires for the original owner of the mobile account to allow for this to happen.





I assure you now that it's so not worth it at all and you could get into trouble.

So does anyone know what the best option would be, is it even worth it?





Please help, Thanks

Where do you get SIM Cards in the USA?
If you want to get hooked up with JUST a sim card (AKA prepaid service), then theres really only 2 providers.





Cingular/AT%26amp;T offers the GoPhone service. Just walk into any AT%26amp;T store and ask to get a prepaid SIM card.


T-Mobile to Go is the other option.





Personally, I prefer GoPhone. They have good connectivity all around. Although GoPhone is a little more expensive than T-mo to go, it's worth it. When I called customer support the first time, I was hooked up with a representative within 30 seconds. T-mo made me wait about 5 on average.





T-mobile's SIM card failed on me and I tried calling support 4 times and they never helped. I went to the store to ask for an exchange or to have THEM test the SIM card, but I got yelled at.

What companies use sim cards in the US?

What companies use sim cards in the US?
The 2 MAJOR carriers in the US are Cingular/AT%26amp;T and T Mobile. You mentioned that you want to buy and UNLOCKED phone. Your best bet is to purchase an UNLOCKED GSM mobile phone. GSM is the INTERNATIONAL standard, which means that you can use it anywhere on the planet without much problem. Some people in previous posts mentioned companies like Sprint and Verizon. They use different networking technologies and when you try to set them up you'll find that it's not as easy as using GSM. GSM offers the most flexibility - just insert the SIM card and you're off and running. You won't need to call tech support or visit your local Sprint/Nextel or Verizon store to have them set the phone up for you. Which brings up another point - in the rare event it turns out the unlocked phone you purcahsed is stolen. Verizon, Sprint/Nextel WILL NOT allow you to setup or activate that phone.


Verizon does NOT use SIM cards.

Which Compainies have sim cards ?

I have an old razer from T-Mobile and I was looking to buying another phone .I really want a virgin mobile phone . But I have read some places that virgin mobile dosen't use sim cards . Is that true ?I hope not . Back to my question , I know cingular uses sim cards is that the only plan so far that does or is their more .

Which Compainies have sim cards ?
tmo, cingular(at%26amp;t) uses sim cards


verizon and sprint does not use sim cards





tmo %26amp; cingular uses gsm phones. which means they receive signals from towers on earth.


verizon and sprint uses cdma phones. which means they receive their signals from sattelites. that is why verizon and sprint is more expensive than tmo and cingular. but they have better reception than tmo and cingular.





if you're looking to get a phone that uses sim cards, you're looking for a gsm phone. you can check out www.gsmarena.com they offer full specs on many many many phones. if you plan to get a phone from a carrier than the phone will be locked. (tmo phones are locked onto tmo's service, same as cingular etc) when you're looking for a gsm phone the best is look for an unlocked one, so you can use it with different carriers if in case you decide to switch services.

How much are sim cards in australia?

can someone tell me how much sim cards are and where i can buy them

How much are sim cards in australia?
I'm assuming you're looking to rent a SIM for travel other than buying one.





For renting a SIM try http://www.vodafonerental.com.au/





If you want to buy one because you lost a SIM, check Telstra or Optus.


Cell phone - sim cards. Can I use current sim card in new phone if it's the same w/o calling provider?

My speaker went on my phone. If I want to buy the same phone (used through Ebay), can I just pop out my old sim card and put it in the new phone without having to call my cell provider? Not sure how that all works.

Cell phone - sim cards. Can I use current sim card in new phone if it's the same w/o calling provider?
The problems you may have include:


IF the new phone is locked to another carrier


If the new phone works on a different system (for example) CDMA instead of GSM


IF the new phone has any probems


If the new phone's security code has been changed and requires it for activation.


Other wise no problem swap your card
Reply:It most prob. would work - if that phone you bought on eBay accepts SIM Cards...


You should call your service provider either way...


Are all sim cards the same?

I have a sim card from tracfone,can it work with a sidekick from t-mobile? Has anyone tried this sim card with other phones?

Are all sim cards the same?
all sims are not alike, e.g. t-mobile not compatible w/ cingular








PS FIGGYPOWER- for your information, in my example the physical size of the two cards virtually guaranteed incompatibility, i.e. trying to fit a AA battery into a watch. Evidently a computer science degree does not a cellphone expert make. Do better research. Cheers.
Reply:Oh really? I have a T-Mobile and Cingular card right in front of me. I've had service with BOTH providers and I can tell you that you're complete moron, as I can slide both in an out of any GSM phone. Oh, and I cited my source -- go have a look. Report Abuse

Reply:no it will not work first of all tracfone sucks and so does t-mbile you need to go pre pay virgin mobile is the best and it is cheap
Reply:figgypower beat me to the answer, so, ditto :]
Reply:Yes, all sim cards are alike and the above two answers are completely false. Sim cards follow the GSM standards and if they were not all the same, they would be in violation of GSM standards and would probably have their licenses to manufacture pulled.





But... and it's a huge but... many cell phone networks in the U.S., Canada, and Australia "lock" their phones, so they can only be used with specific sim cards. Thus, a phone you buy from T-Mobile is "locked" to work only with SIM cards that identify themselves as sold by T-Mobile. Sometimes, you can call up the cell phone company and ask for an unlock code and they will just give it to you. Perfectly legitimate reasons to unlock the phone include travelling overseas; your GSM phone will need to use a different SIM card, so most companies (at least Cingular and T-Mobile) will give you the unlock code if you ask nicely.





Now, if you do NOT buy your cell phone from a cell phone operator and it's not branded (see that Cingular/T-Mobile/Whatever mark? well it's branded) then it is unlocked and you can use ANY SIM card you please. This is the true beauty of GSM, being able to swap out SIM cards. If you need documented proof have a look at the source.





To specifically answer your question, your Tracfone SIM card would work on any UNLOCKED Sidekick. However, it sounds like you bought your Sidekick FROM T-Mobile which probably means it was LOCKED to T-Mobile. Try it; at worst it would say your phone is locked to T-Mobile SIM cards; that's it -- niether the phone NOR the SIM card would malfunction. If it is locked, call T-Mobile and ask nicely. They might give you the unlock code and you can look up unlock instructions online.
Reply:No your sim card only works in a phone that is made for the company that made the sims card. Ex.- Cingular uses Cingular etc.....
Reply:i have tried that and it doesnt work because you need a t-mobile SiM card because it has all the info on your t-mobile network.

What type of phones other than Nokia phones use SIM cards?

All t-mobile and at%26amp;t phones....

What type of phones other than Nokia phones use SIM cards?
GSM phones use SIM cards, and the all of the mainstream manufacturers (Motorola, LG, Nokia, Sony-Ericson, Apple, RIM, etc) make GSM versions of their phones. It's the most popular globally.





SIM cards are also employed by newer iDEN phones, and 3G/wCDMA phones, but the 3 common SIM card types are not interchangeable. You can't, for example slip an iDEN SIM card into a GSM phone and expect it to work, even if it's an unlocked one.
Reply:Everybody except Verizon and Alltel uses a GSM network which will require a SIM card.





Anybody besides Verizon and Alltel will sell you a phone with a SIM card......


Can i get two identical sim cards so i can have two cell phones with the same number and same account?

that way i can keep one in my car and one in my apartment

Can i get two identical sim cards so i can have two cell phones with the same number and same account?
That would not be possible, I believe it may be illegal it's called cloning a sim card, they used to be able to do that back in the day...but when one sim card is activated the old one stops working automatically.
Reply:No, I've looked into this and I don't think that it's legal anymore because of the 911 location from your SIM cards.





You could copy your sim number to another card but it takes a long time and some software that is hard to find.
Reply:i dont think u can cant u just get divert call so it goes to ur car if ur not in ur aparment

Do different networks carry different Sim cards?

Do the phones that have SIM card holders, hold all SIM Cards? Like do different networks carry different Sim cards?, is what I'm trying to ask. Because I found a phone on Amazon, that is unlocked, and I have Tmobile. I lost my phone recently, so they're sending (if it's possible) me a new sim card, but I rather have the phone I found on Amazon.

Do different networks carry different Sim cards?
There's a SIM card standard that is used by all cellular providers. All that belongs to the cellular provider is the number (i.e. the way they bill you), but the SIM will work in all phones regardless of which provider you use (the SIM is supposed to work on all types of phones cos they don't own the phone manufacturers like Nokia, Siemens, etc).





When u get your unlocked phoned, pop your SIM in and it should work fine. Where your SIM goes into your new phone as compared to your old phone may differ, but your phone manual will have instructions on where to insert it in your new phone.





I had an extensive answer for someone else regarding SIM cards, you can check it at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Reply:All SIM card holders inside phones are the same but to use any SIM in one phone it has to belong to that company or be unlocked. If you buy an unlocked phone then yes all you need to do is just put your SIM card in it and you're all set.

Why can't they make a phone which can hold 2 or more SIM cards?

sometimes, you just got to have two lines, or more. for example, a number which you want your clients to know. and another for personal use. are there any handphones around which can accommodate more than one line/SIM card?

Why can't they make a phone which can hold 2 or more SIM cards?
They do. But its a 3rd party solution. Check it out here:

Reply:They already do.
Reply:They have dual sim card adapters, so you can put 2 sim cards in one phone or something like that. But besides that, they SHOULD have 2 sim card slots on a phone, that would be a very good idea for using 2 different lines.

Are mobile phones supposed to come with sim cards??

I bought a mobile ph from ebay %26amp; I have just recharged the battery, but it says please insert sim card, but I never got any sim card.

Are mobile phones supposed to come with sim cards??
It easy to buy a sim card from a mobile phone shop of your choice. It is also a good idea if visiting another country to buy one in the country you are visiting. This way you are not hammered with expensive roaming charges that you have to pay even if receiving calls. Also if you like your phone network provider you can switch you sim into a new mobile phone thereby keeping same number and phone book records etc.
Reply:sim cards are like memory cards. whatever phone numbers you have saved on your phone will be saved to that card. and when you take it out and put into another phone with a sim card slot all your info will be on that phone.
Reply:no u hav 2 buy it. the sim card is the phone numba. its quite cheap.


Are security locks per phone or sim cards?

I have an old phone that I don't use anymore but I use the same sim card for a new phone(v3 razor) that has been used before by another person with a different sim card. If I want to reset security codes, etc. is it something that takes effect on the phone or the sim card? So basically, if someone else sets passwords on a phone with a different sim card, do I have to know the old passwords to set my own passwords on the same phone but different sim card?

Are security locks per phone or sim cards?
Yes you need to know the passwords because it's through the phones security settings
Reply:Through the phone.
