SIM card in Nokia 6010?
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my mom's phone to a bluetooth model. She currently has a Nokia 6010, and I'm trying to get her a Motorola v505. The ones I'm finding on Ebay do not come with a SIM card. She appears to have a 64k SIM card in her Nokia-- can I simply insert this into a Cingular v505 and have her service function?
Thanks,
Shane

You can, but is she has had that phone and sim for a while ,she probably has 32k sim, go to stoer and show them they can tell you, they can also answer your other question, but that v505 is kinda crappy.
...
I have a 32k sim card with Cingular..what, if any, are the advantages and/or reasons I would need a 64k sim card? Thanks

There is no Cingular v505. Cingular has the v551. The v505 is an AT&T phone and unless it's unlocked it won't work with a Cingular SIM. I'd personally go with the v551 because it's a better phone and it's also ENS enabled, which means that the phone can decide on the fly whether the AT&T or Cingular network offers better service where you are currently located.

yup .. that correct.. unless you can verify the the V505 is unlocked(which i highly doubt) dont get it as a cingular sim will not work unless its unlocked.
go with the V551, you wont regret it

I have seen ENS before on this forum, but not quite sure what it means..brief explaination please, and is my Nokia 6620 ENS enabled. Thanks in advance..

Extended Network Services.... or something like that.
It means what I said in the last post.
The phone and sim can determine what network is best for you in any given area.
A non-ens phone will stick with the home network even if there is only a faint signal.
Your 6620 is ens enabled.... unless it's an at&t 6620.

No it is Cingular, actually bought directly from Nokia, but its Cingular branded..and thanks for your help..
...
Thank you kindly ma'am..next question..do I need a 64k sim card? Is it better than my 32k? If so, in what way? Thanks..

So what if the v505 (interested in it over the v551 because of price) doesn't come with a SIM? Can I walk into Cingular and will they give me a SIM to work with it? I don't really understand SIM's all that much...
Thank you,
Shane

No, you would not be able to, cingular's policy is that they won't let you activate a aTTWS branded phone, locked or unlocked, only a cingular phone, or any other phone unlocked.

Thats incorrect. you can activate a Unlocked non-cingular phone no problem... i myself have one.
All ya gotta do is move your sim card and call in with the IMEI number.. or just purchase a cingular SIM at a store if your going f...
