Cell Phone
Hey! I currently have Verizon cell phone service. If I was to buy a Cingular phone that Verizon doesnt carry, but its an unlocked phone, would I be able to have my Verizon plan on the Cingular phone?

I went to a Verizon dealer two days ago and asked this question. The response from the manager was that "We don't sell only the sim cards for Verizon service". I do not know if he meant just his store, or Verizon on a whole.
Keep in mind the whole sim card thing really works against what these companies want; which is to keep you sticking to their service. The phones can be had at a huge discount since you are committing to contracts with them. If you don't (or can't) enter into a contract then they want you to purchase one of their pre-paid phones. For you to come in with your own phone, get their sim card, use their service for only 3 months, seems like a huge loss to them. Really, it's a huge loss to us, but that's beyond the point :-)

Yes it will work, but sometimes if you dont have a Cingular plan and you want a Cingular phone... the phone ends up being more than the orignal price which sucks.

Yes that is if you have a sim card and i dont think verizon wireless does the whole sim card thing. unlocked phones are made for the purpose of getting a cool phone that your wireless carrier doesnt have nd you can put your sim card in. So im not exactly sure. you can call verizon and ask they may be able to put everything on the phone without you needing a sim card. Good luck

yes, as long as the phone is unlocked, any sim card will work in the phone. :]
