Can I use a Pre-Paid Cingular Phone with a “regular” Cingular service sim card?

TaxConfused asked:

I just had my Cingular cell phone stolen. I’m not up for a contract renewal anytime soon, and I don’t want to pay an exorbitant fees for a brand new phone (without a contract). I wanted to buy a pre-paid Cingular phone, and replace the pre-paid SIM card with my current monthly service Cingular SIM card. Will this work? Do I need to have the pre-paid phone unlocked? What things do I need to look out for?

Yes you can use a Pre-paid Cingular Phone with a regular Cingular service sim Card. Don’t worry it does work but you just have to buy a new sim card aside from the prepaid phone to reactivate your regular service sim card.

No , you don’t need to have the pre-paid phone unlocked. The lock they put on the phones if your other companies like T-Mobile etc but not for their own even if it is prepaid.

What to look out for is nothing. Sometimes they give the sim card for free , just ask the salesperson they could. Worse situation , they would charge you for the sim card for $20-25.

Next time I would recommend putting Phone Insurance on it. Cingular offers it for $4.99 per month.

Hope that helps.
