Answering the Question ‘could i buy a sidekick id and use my cingular plan with it?’

May 23rd, 2013 Filed under: Unlocking Cell Phones — Cell Phone Author

I was looking through some old posts and found this question. I thought it was a good one so I wanted to post an answer here. The question comes from ‘Allison H’:

i have cingular right now (i hate it) and i was wondering i have a great plan unlimited txting lots of minutes ext. could i put my sim card or smart chip thing in the sidekick id. would it work? because with other cingular phone i can put my chip in my moms my dads and my friends and it still works? let me know.

Answer: Sorry .Cingular and T-mobile both use GSM network. They both require sim cards on the back of their phones. However each cell phone company have their own phones that are locked specifically to their network brand so that you can use it on another cell phone carrier.There is a way around this. You can buy a “unlocked GSM phone” that you can use with any network (Cingular, T-Mobile, Nextel). All you have to do is to put your sim card into the phone and it will work. The phone has to be “Unlocked”.You can search for many unlocked GSM phones online through ebay. If you can find a sidekick ID that is unlocked online then you can use that phone with Cingular.

Question/Answer: What is a “Verizon Sim Card” and can I use it in all verizon phones?

May 22nd, 2013 Filed under: Unlocking Cell Phones — Cell Phone Author

Here’s a good question from Michael B with an even better answer, enjoy:

i.e. I buy a verizon sim card and find a phone somewhere that happens to be verizon and it just so happens that I like it. Can I put that verizon sim card into the phone and use it as my own? ANOTHER OPTION: I have a Razr V3m and under MENU>SETTINGS AND TOOLS>SYSTEM>DEVICE INFO>ACTIVE LINE it shows my phone number (checked) and an option that says new line. So technically if I find a phone and go into that type of setting, can I delete the existing phone number and add my phone number instead? Will I be able to use the phone as my own and then get billed fr it as if it was my V3m? Thanx!

Answer: First of all Verizon Wireless uses CDMA network, which means all of verizon wireless phones does not uses any sim cards.The only cell phone carriers Cingular (A T&T), Nextel and T-Mobile uses GSM network, which means all the phones for these cell phone carriers require sim cards on the back of their phone.So if you found a Cingular cell phone and already have Cingular as your cell phone provider then you can just put your sim card into the phone and it will work. However if you are a Cingular but found a T-Mobile phone then your sim card would not work with the phone that you just found.The only way a phone would work on any network (Cingular, T-Mobile or Nextel) is if the phone is “unlocked GSM phone”. The phone has to be unlocked. Then you can put your sim card and the phone will work. You can find unlock GSM phones online at ebay.com.Your question about device info. If you delete the existing phone number and put your number, it will do no good. The cell phone signal will registered the correct phone number with the cell phone device.

My Answer To The Question – Buying cell phone online after contract is up?

May 14th, 2013 Filed under: Unlocking Cell Phones — Cell Phone Author

You guys might also have this question so I’m posting it here with a good answer too. It comes from ‘missourigrl’ who asks:

My cell phone contract is up in May. Can I buy a cell phone online (that Cingular carries) say on ebay and use that phone with my plan? Will I have to have Cingular activate the phone or will I just be able to put my sim card in it and it will work? Where does the “unlocked” cell phone come in to play here or does it?Is there a place other than ebay to buy cell phones online without having to purchase a plan?

Answer: If you buy another Cingular GSM phone on eBay, you can just pop in your SIM card and go, provided the handset isn’t stolen and the IMEI is barred ;-) If you have your doubts, ask the seller for the IMEI, then call Cingular and ask them to check it to see if it’s barred. Check the seller’s feedback. If you buy a phone which is NOT a Cingular phone, this is where Unlocked comes into play. If the phone is Unlocked, you will be okay, however you might need to configure web browsing and picture messaging yourself. Cingular shops may be willing to do it and they might not. It’s something to consider. If the phone is NOT Cingular and NOT unlocked, you’ll either have to get it unlocked or try unlocking it yourself. This can be complicated depending on the model phone and if you’re not tech savvy or don’t want to pay about $20 for some online place to unlock it then best stick to just finding Cingular phones.Other than eBay, you can go to the service providers themselves and buy phones outright. Even Cingular will sell you a phone without a contract, but you will pay a premium price for it, probably at least $250. If you go to another provider and buy a phone outright, make sure they unlock it for you. Cingular should unlock theirs for you too if you pay the full unsubsidized price for it. Probably what would be a better idea would be to purchase a Cingular GoPhone. These are more expensive than phones with a contract, but they’re a lot cheaper than buying a phone outright. You will get another phone number and some starter airtime, but you just use up all the airtime and then put in your contract SIM into the phone and voila! Since GoPhones are prepaid, there’s no contract. Don’t tell thim this is what you plan on doing though. They aren’t too keen on people doing this as they’d rather you renew your contract or pay full price. You can purchase these directly from Cingular’s website. They start at $20 with free shipping for a cheap Nokia refurb and go up from there. There offerings differ from time to time so check back often. If you go to http://www.dealking.com they will give you a $20 discount so basically you can get another phone (the refurb Nokia 6061) for free plus some free prepaid time, all without signing a contract! Dealking will send you a check for $20 after about 3 months so net to you is $0. I did this with t-mobile and it worked great! Other than that, just Google “unlocked cell phones” and you’ll find plenty of online stores who will sell you an unlocked phone. Just make sure it works on at least 850/1900MHz for Cingular.
