I have a V551 unlocked. I also have a Cingular 64K SIM card. I am currently on an ATTWS plan with an ATTWS SIM card activated using a V505. The Cingular SIM card that I have is also 20 digits in length.

Can I call ATTWS customer service to replace my SIM on my account and activate the 64K SIM? I was told thar Sebel now recognizes Cingular SIMs, though I am not sure if that includes 64K SIMs. I want to get the benefits of the 64K SIM technology without giving up my plan and corporate discounts.

I am also concerned that if they trash my existing SIM and the Congular 64K SIM does not work, I will have no SIM left.

Please assist...

The issue will be whether the ATT system will accept a Cingular SIM, as it is probably not recognized in their system as a valid SIM number. A migration may be your only option.

In a word, NO. That Cingular SIM card will NOT work with the AWS network. And, if you migrate, you do NOT keep your current AWS rate plan, but will be able to get those corp discounts.

Having a 64k simcard really doesnt make a big difference. really depends on if you live by more blue towers or orange towers.
