Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / October 2004Sim from 6010 nokia t0 5190 ?
Can I switch the sim from a 6010 to a 5190 and use it if I want/needed to ? Explanation: I have a setup on a notebook computer running W98se with Nokia PC suite with a cable that allows me to dial into my ISP for simple email AND Banking (MS Money) (albeit slow) with NO added expense for gprs or whatever. Since I only use this a few times A YEAR I don't want to upgrade or have added costs (I'm cheap) since this system is NOT broke I don't need to fix it ! If my wife gets a newer phone (6010) will I be able to switch the SIM from it to the 5190 to access my ISP (on rare occasions) the way I do now ? I use this while traveling and/or camping in a motorhome or while sitting at rest stops. Thanks  SignatureMichael " I want to live forever, So far so good.

Thanks Not sure, but I don't think the old SIMS work in the 6010's. Or maybe it's the new SIM's that won't work in the 5190's. Yeah, I think that's it now I think about it. So, I guess what I'm saying is if you upgrade your SIM, you may end up being screwed with the 5190. I'd go into a store and test it out with a dead SIM. > >> Can I switch the sim from a 6010 to a 5190 and use it if I want/needed > >> to ?

I'm still using a SIM that was originally in a 5190. It's gone on to serve in a 3310 and now a 6610. There's no loss of functionality whatsoever. >> >> Can I switch the sim from a 6010 to a 5190 and use it if I want/needed >> >> to ?

So maybe_backwards_ - 6010>5190 would work too then............. like this: my wife gets a 6010 in her name and I want to put the SIM (once in great while) into MY old 5190 that I have left from a closed account ? I hope.... Michael >> There's quite simply no difference in SIMS. I'm still using a SIM that >> was originally in a 5190. It's gone on to serve in a 3310 and now a >> 6610.

SIMs are standard throughout the GSM world to allow you to pop them into different phones as you upgrade. In many cases, carriers "lock" their phones to allow only their SIMs to be used with phones they supply, but that is done to allow them to recoup the subsidy they supply when giving our phones. This restriction can be removed in several different ways. >like this: my wife gets a 6010 in her name and I want to put the SIM (once >in great while) into MY old 5190 that I have left from a closed account ? If the 5190 is locked to a specific carrier, you'll have to get that removed. A phone can remained locked even if your service with that carrier has been discontinued. You won't be able to get your old carrier to give you the unlock code if you no longer have service with them -- even if their policy allows reps to give out such codes. In that case, you'll have to get it unlocked by a store or buy a cable and do it yourself. >I hope.... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). >Version: 6.0.765 / Virus Database: 512 - Release Date: 9/16/2004 > Not sure, but I don't think the old SIMS work in the 6010's.
