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.

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
