I've read a whole lot of posts here about TDMA being old and how moving from
cheaper AT&T plans to more expensive Cingular plans is not the first choice
of many posters.
I'm still on a low-cost AT&T plan with an old Nokia 5165 TDMA phone.
Is there a SIM somewhere inside this phone that I can salvage to place in a
GSM phone so I can keep my AT&T plan?
OR
Is there anything I can do, any phone I can buy, any option I have for
keeping my AT&T plan with a new phone?
Thanks

Old, but a real reliable workhorse. It certainly redefines "built like a
brick sh.t house"

No, TDMA phones don't have SIMs.

Buy an AT&T or unlocked TDMA phone on eBay, and ask to have it activated as a
replacement for your existing phone.
