Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / July 2005CINGULAR GSM 64K SIM CARD/SMART CHIP *Newest Version*
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5786231862 I hope this is not a stupid question, but what do you do with this SIM chip? Steve > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5786231862 You put it into your GSM capable phone so it can function. It's kind of like the smart card with DirecTV.

It's a SIM chip for an ACTIVE account? Who is going to pay the bill? Steve > You put it into your GSM capable phone so it can function.

Whoever is set up with the account to pay the bills, will in fact pay the bills or suffer the consequences. TH > How does it function? It's a SIM chip for an ACTIVE account?

That was my point in asking about it. Thanks, Steve > The SIM card is linked to an active account.

You have have another handset handy, but your SIM card was in the stolen/lost handset. You can either drive to a Cingular store and likely get charged for a new SIM card, or you can pop in a spare that you may have handy, contact Cingular, get your account tied to the spare SIM and be on you way.

Transpose the c's and a's in my e-mail address to reply. do you guys know where the search button is that means....look up there at the top of the page and click search! second...why would you buy a sim from ebay when you can get them fre at the store >that means....look up there at the top of the page and click search! You need to learn the difference between Usenet/news groups and a web board. This is usenet/news groups. There is no "search" button. Just because you're reading on a web board does not mean that the majority of people are reading news on a *real* news client not some web feed that someone imported. - - > that means....look up there at the top of the page and click search! > > second...why would you buy a sim from ebay when you can get them free > at the store? I did, I searched for "a.shole" and came up with your name. I was asking a legitimate question - what do you do with a SIM from eBay? They are tied to an account, and if you have an account with Cingular you get the SIM from them. Steve >> that means....look up there at the top of the page and click search! >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Steve Cingular wanted to charge me $20 or $30 for a replacement SIM when I lost my phone. I would't have had to pay that if I bought a replacement phone from eBay with a SIM. I sold my Nextel i830 on eBay with the SIM so the new owner would be able to activate without a SIM purchase. I didn't need the SIM since I discontinued service with them. its just like calling into cs. it's ll about talking to the righ person. I've gotten 3 free sims this month alone. Of course, when yo add video to the store owners razr you get stuff a little easier! lo |
