I am selling a Nokia 6340i on eBay for use on the Cingular network in the US. Someone e-mailed me asking if a sim card was included. I do have my old sim card still and I was wondering if there is any reason why I shouldn't sell it ( security reasons or even somthing else ) I will erase all my numbers off of it and everything. I really don't know all too much about them, and thats why I'm asking. Thanks in advance for the help.

Well it wasn't pay as you go...

Heres what happend...

I already had a 6340i and I got another one through cingular for free. When I got the new one he gave me a new sim card and everything and set it up in the new phone. Since I already had a 6340i, I came home and called cingular and had them switch the service back to my old phone ( since there was no sense in me using a new phone when I already had one ) So now I have this brand new 6340i and my old SIM card. So I guess it wouldn't be smart to sell the card?

Call cingular, tell them you are selling a phone with this specific simcard number, and make sure the person won't be able to access your account. As long as they know you are selling the phone/transferring it to another person, they should be able to set it up so it is like the person buying it is getting a fresh phone. The person will have to call to activate it.

No, don't see the SIM card. It's what is used to activate the phone to that specific number and account information. You never sell the sim card because, more than likely, if you get another phone through them, you will need to use it on the new phone.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article?

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
