Hello AT&T

I'm a new member, have 30 days to try out. What attracted me to GSM and AT&T is the ability to interswap swim cards from phone to phone without having to contact customer service.

Question: Say I had two phones, a Multimedia powerhouse like the iPhone, Nokia N96, Samsung Omnia, etc and a regular phone like the Samsung Rugby, are you allowed to switch sim card from phone to phone or do you have to change your plan everytime you do this?

I wish AT&T had a one package everything plan of unlimited text, pic, video, web

I have both the Nokia N95-3, and Blackjack 2 white/blue, and yes it is that easy, swap sim from one phone to another and your ph # and contacts follow the sim card.

SIM stands for Subscriber Identification Module.

You can switch between about 99% of phones with no problem at all. The only one you can't is the iphone. The only issue with the iphone is that your iphone $30 internet package won't work on a media net phone. (I've tried it in like five different phones), but you can use media net, pda unlimited, and blackberry unlimited on any phone except iphone. But really just use the iphone's internet on iphone, once you use that you'll never want to use interenet on another phone.

Swapping the SIM from an iPhone to another phone can also mess up the voice mail due to the Visual Voice Mail feature in the iPhone.

Well that makes sense, but what I was wanting to do is to switch between the iphone and say a Samsung Rugby for when I go to gym or work and didn't want to bring the iphone. I'd really just want to be able to take pics and text and mms with the Rugby when I am using that. Can you do that?

How do you like the Blackjack 2 white/blue? What are the pros and cons of it? Thanks

I like the BJ2, but honestly I use my N95 a whole, whole lot more. I probably don't even use my BJ2 enough to give a review.

One thing I will say is the memory card is hard to put in and take out. But the connecter for the charger seems to be a reliable sturdy connection, a reliable charging connection is important to me.
