Im going to post this in the cingular forum as well...but since there are a lot of helpful people that check out this phone's forum, thought you all might be able to advise...

So I ordered my first unlocked/unbranded phone just now, and since im switching from VZW to Cingular, whats the best way to get a SIM card?

A friend of mine recommended signing up for a cheap freebie phone at cingular, then just switching the SIM card out. This way Im not paying for the SIM card, plus I have a free phone (most likely to give away).

Any thoughts on this? Pluses? Minuses? Any other ideas/thoughts?

Please help! 🙂

Your friend is exactly right but I recommend keeping the freebie phone as a backup. It is my understanding that if you DON'T buy a phone from Cingy you won't qualify for unlimited mobile to mobile.

ooooo...very good to know. thanks for the reply!

Im still debating between signing up for a freebie (2year) or just doing a 1year to get the promo stuff (minus the phone). Cant decide...hmmmm

i kinda want a backup phone, but the flexibility of a one year is appealing too. Oh well...got a few days to think about it.

Thanks again for the insight!
