64 Bit SIM Capable Phone with 64 Bit SIM Card on ATTWS Service?

Is it possible to have a Cingular 64 Bit SIM Capable Phone with 64 Bit SIM Card on ATTWS Service? Can the Cingular SIM card be activated on an ATTWS plan where I have a phone that I purchased outright that is capable of 64 bit SIM cards? Will I then also get the Smartchip benefits?

there is no reason to do it... the 64k sim aside from a little more space to put phone book entries, only uses the extra space to not confuse customers. there is a new appication that is loaded onto the 64k sims. it comes with a single alpha tag. where it says "CINGULAR" on the screen, thats an alpha tag. the alpha tag lets you know what network you are currently using. this has never worked accurately.

Anyway, the application on the new 64k sim card tells your phone which network to use primarily, this means that you can have a sim card which will choose either an AT&T network or a CINGULAR network as a primary network MNC (mobile network code) this is all completely random and you will not know which card uses which network prima...

So there is no way at all to tell which is the primary network MNC on the 64k SIMs, not at all?

There is no more space on the phonebook only extra space for text messages.
