Right now i am subscribed to southern linc and i have a SUPER ugly phone.
I like linc because it has the push to talk service,
but if i were to buy a new phone it would need to take a SIM card.
And hopefully have push to talk.
I need help finding a phone that takes sim cards and has Instant linc(push to talk)
please help.

SIM cards.?
Any phone that is GSM will support simcards, the only phone that i'm not too sure about is the LG VX8500 i think it's not GSM but the other phones are GSM and will work with a simcard.
Reply:Just buy a cool cell phone you like that uses the GSM network and you can use a sim card in it. As far as push-to-talk goes, that will be a feature the phone would have to come with although these are easy to find.

Sim cards.....?
how exactly do sim cards and unlocked phones and all that good stuff work
i want to buy a phone off the internet, but how do i activate it say with verizon?
Sim cards.....?
Since you are asking about Verizon, don't even bother with sim cards and unlocked phones. Verizon's phones and network are CDMA, which doesn't use sim cards, and therefore can't use unlocked phones since unlocked only refers to GSM and iDEN phones meaning they can accept a sim card from a compatible provider. Only CDMA phones can be used with a CDMA provider.

How to transfer sim cards?
I was going to buy an unlocked phone on ebay and switch the sim cards out. I would still be on the same network as the unlocked phone. I wanted to know if this is possible and if i can to do it myself or if i need to take it somewhere. i also wanted to know how to tell if my exsisting phone has a sim card or not in the first place.
How to transfer sim cards?
to find your sim.. take out the battery. I know that Verizon and Sprint don't have sim cards.. if you have an unlocked phone, you can use it with any phone provider just about. Just take out the sim an dput it in the new fone. You can check if your provider is compatible with your phone on ebay.. its somewhere on the page
Reply:If you do have one, it is very easy to do. It is usually located under the battery. Remove the battery, and then you will see the card. It looks like a tiny credit card. It should just slide right out. Remove it, and put it in your new phone. You just have to make sure you have one, and the new phone you're buying is compatible.
Reply:open the back of the phone and then take the battery then the sim card should be a little card that is put in underneath a piece of plastic then take it out and do the same to the other phone and switch their spots

Can a SIM cards be inserted into another phone?
I want to keep Cingular phone service, but their phones suck! If I buy a phone directly from the manufacturer, say, Nokia, will I be able to insert the SIM card into the new phone? (My current phone is LG.) Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm technologically challenged!
Can a SIM cards be inserted into another phone?
Yes. Bit of the phone is "locked" you have to unlock it first. It's mostly pay-as-you-go phones that are locked; but others obtained at concessional prices (or free) may also be locked.
You can do it by getting a code online or for free, or a shop can do it, often for $10 or £10.

Reply:As someone who used to work for a cell phone company, I can guarantee you the answer is "no". Different manuafacturers use different SIM cards....No dice!
Reply:Yes
Reply:sometimes the phone needs to be unlocked
Reply:i guess, maybe you should talk to another phone agents or talk to the agents who makes the phone
Reply:yes.....i do it when I go over seas....wink!
Reply:Yes, I am assuming you meant to buy an unlocked phone from the Internet. Unlocked phones don't have restrictions on bands and provider coverage. You could however, also unlock your current LG phone for a small price at certain places on the web.
Reply:If you purchase a phone from Nokia you need to make sure its GSM capable and it has the 1900 and 850 frequency. Normally when you purchase phones from the manufacture they are already unlocked. They are only locked if you purchase from a wireless provider. Also if you purchase a phone straight from Nokia be sure to call your provider to configure your phone so you can use the internet and picture messaging. Cingular doesnt charge to do it and its simple.
Reply:Yes . You can insert sim card into other cell phones (only if you can remove it from your original Cingular phone)

Changing sim cards from one cell phone to another?
Okay, im currently using Cingular (now the new At%26amp;t) and my Motorola RAZR recently fell into water. Now it doesn't work from what I know, and I was wondering if I can take the SIM card from the RAZR and put it onto my Samsung phone which is also from Cingular. Will it work, and will it do damage to the other phone by any harms?
Changing sim cards from one cell phone to another?
No. All you can do is try and see if the card still works. As long as it didnt get fried then it should work. Give it a try, it won't hurt your Samsung at all. Good luck!
Reply:yes you can as switch the sim, if you can make/receive calls, then it's ok. if you get a sim error then your card may have been damaged. usually you can get your sim card wet and it will be ok to use it.
Reply:If it is fine, it will definitely work on your other Cingular phone. It cannot damage your Samsung phone, so you should put in the SIM and try it. If it does not work, then the problem is that the SIM card may have gotten damaged in the water, but the problem will not be because of any phone compatibility issues.

Sim cards?
does sprint have sim cards
because what if i get a unlocked phone for t-mobile then i bring it into sprint, can they put a sim card in it so it will work with them or not?
Sim cards?
All GSM phones use sim cards. Sprint isn't a GSM carrier they use CDMA technology like Verizon which doesn't use any sim cards so you can't switch phones without calling the carrier.
Reply:my friend is travelling to Europe, so i offered him to use my triband world-phone,...but guess what, his service (Verizon) does not use a Sim card, what a "crock", most carriers use Sim cards, it makes it easy to change phones, use someone else's phone using your own stored address book ...

Reply:Sprint does not have sims cards
Reply:Most phones use a SIM card except for the High end ones like a Blackberry. Theoretically if the t-mobile phone is unlocked then you can put your sprint SIM card in it and it will work fine. Sidekicks don't have a sim card. So it won't work for that.
