Using 2 different phones by switching the SIM cards?
I know that AT&T uses SIM cards and the technology is GSM. I know that Verizon doesn't use a SIM and the technology is CDMA.
My question is: At AT&T, using one SIM card (having paid for only one SIM card) could a person be using two different phones by switching the SIM card back and forth?
If this is possible, is it also a good or bad idea? Meaning, are there any downsides to doing this switcheroo? 🤨

I just now thought about how billing would be for the scenario I described above. Would the billing just be the sum total of the minutes used on both phones? 😉
Or must one go through AT&T to get a second SIM to put in that second phone — to facilitate billing?

You can take a sim card out of any at&t phone and put it in another. Thats fine.
Like I have a BlackJack and a MOTO V3xx. I do it all the time...
Its fun! Try it. No billing issues here.

Dear Luckyboy 86 —
What makes you decide which phone to use when and where? I don't know what a BlackJack is, so can't tell whether it is one of those PDAs etc.

It's technically a Smartphone, not at PDA/Pocket PC; but still a nice phone.

I have four phones that I go between. I don't "need" for phones, but I'm moody and want what I want.
Your phone number is attached to the SIM, no the handset, so it doesn't affect billing at all when you switch handsets.

I'm glad that there's someone out there like me!

and honest about it too. I just wish I could blame it on being hormonal or something.

Aha..... sounds like you, Chocolateman, and Lucky86 are equipped with backups and are all the better for it!

That's pretty accurate of a description. I have three PDAs on hand, just in case one gets damaged, and I have a regular phone for when I don't want to carry a PDA around with me everywhere.

One line is an unlocked Motorola ROKR and the other line is a Nokia 6682, but sometimes put that sim in my Nokia 6620 when the 6682 acts up.
