Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2006Samsung x427
I'll be leaving Cingular since I now get a free Nextel through my job. I have a Samsung x427 that I would like to sell on eBay after I move my number to the Nextel. What do I need to do to sell this phone? Can I wipe it clean or should that be done at a Cingular store? Is it safe to sell the SIM card with the phone or should I take it out? Thanks for any help! GNG Cingular digitally "locks" their phones. You'll need to "unlock" it before it will be of use to anyone else. Look into cell phone hacking. I'd take the SIM card out if I were you, the new GSM service provider will have their own SIM card that (most) will install into unlocked phones for a fee ($20-$40), T-Moble did this for one of my family members anyway. -Jeremy > I'll be leaving Cingular since I now get a free Nextel through my job. > I have a Samsung x427 that I would like to sell on eBay after I move [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Thanks for any help! > GNG > Cingular digitally "locks" their phones.

The phone doesn't need to be unlocked before anyone else can use it. If it is locked, it would have to be unlocked before it was used on another carrier. You can put any Cingular SIM in a Cingular locked phone, and it will work on Cingular's system. wrong > wrong Back to the original, how do I remove my name and number from the phone. Everything I've read here says if it's a Cingular phone, just pop your Cingular sim in it and you're in business. Can I get further clarifaction on this, I have one for sale also. I just bought a new V400 from a person on ebay, poped my sim in and started talking. bamp V400 Unlocked from cingular already > > wrong > Back to the original, how do I remove my name and number from the phone.

Both sims are on Cingular. bamp | I just pulled the sim from my V400 & popped it in my wife's Cingular x427 | and started talking. | Both sims are on Cingular. That's a good point of GSM <wink>. Just swap the SIM and go. > That's a good point of GSM <wink>. Just swap the SIM and go. I find it rather a pain that cingular disabled so many functions in the Nokia 3600. I can't copy contacts to or from my SIM. They have to be entered by hand before they are saved to the SIM. No easy phonebook tranfer for me.... | > That's a good point of GSM <wink>.

Thankfully, all that is available in my T616 and S307. >I just pulled the sim from my V400 & popped it in my wife's Cingular x427 >and started talking. >Both sims are on Cingular. That's how it is supposed to work. a SIM is a great device! -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net I just put the SIM from my old Nokia 5190 into my new x427, and it's all good. Both Cingular, BTW. How I ever went so long with that Nokia is a mystery. > > V400 Unlocked from cingular already > > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > bamp >From: Richie (mbc@pacbell.net) >Subject: Samsung X427 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >The Samsung X427 has Network Selection set to automatic. That default >cannot be changed. Does anyone know how to get that feature selection You cannot change the network selection. It is programmed into the sim card. Maybe Cingular customer service can change it for you. >I'll be leaving Cingular since I now get a free Nextel through my job. >I have a Samsung x427 that I would like to sell on eBay after I move [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Thanks for any help! >GNG You can sell this on ebay. You can sell it to anyone that has cingular service or you can pay to have it unlocked and sell it that way(unlocked). you can sell it with the sims card but it won't do anyone any good unless they take the phone into a cingular store and have it activated. Anyone that buys it probably already has a sims card that they will just pop in it and the phone would be ready to go for them.I would advise removing all your contacts other than that you don't have to do anything else--just list it and sell it. hope this helps. |
