I can now upgrade my phone with Cingular. If I do, what happens to
the old telephone with the same number? Do they just deactivate the old
phone when they activate the new i?

Re: What Happens To Quondam Phone When You Upgrade?
When you normally upgrade your "phone" with Cingular - they only give
you lot a new telephone, the number remains the same. The old phone can still
be used. They don't disactivate information technology.

Really, that's incorrect. Assuming they are GSM phones, both are equally
"activated". It'due south the SIM card that determines which one is "active". You
tin can put the aforementioned sim menu in either phone, and utilize it ordinarily. The number
is on the sim card. You can swap phones with some other Cingular user, and it
will work fine if you each keep your sim cards (in 99% of the cases, at
least).--

If it is GSM, it can ordinarily be used as a fill-in, if you put the electric current sim
menu in it. The number is on the sim card.Or, yous can donate it to various charitable causes, as all modern phones can
be used to punch an emergency number even without activation.

practise it only to have a fill-in. Goose egg wrong with the V551. I thought

to keep things compatible.

something significantly improve.--

phone gratuitous now. If that selection stays open, I estimate I might as well
wait until something new comes out instead of wasting my free phone
for something I don't actually need right at present.

Re: What Happens To Old Phone When You Upgrade?
Per RAH:
>I can now upgrade my phone with Cingular. If I do, what happens to
>the sometime phone with the same number? Do they merely deactivate the former
>phone when they actuate the new ane?In my feel, they but movement the SIM card to the new phone and let yous worry
about what to do with the erstwhile one.Many people then take the old one to a local (there's one in our township
building) "recycling" site and dump it at that place. Then some cheap guy like me
comes, rummages through what's at that place picks one out and uses it for another five
years or until it dies from salt h2o exposure like one of my 3595's did the
other day - whichever comes first.
