SIM card transfer?

Just switched from ATT TDMA to Cingular and got the *free* Nokia 6010
which is where the Cingular SIM is installed. I also have an Ericcson
T68 tri-band that I use with a prepaid SIM when traveling
interntionally.

Is it possible to put the Cingular SIM in the T68 to use in the US?
Any intialization process and if I want, will it be easy to switch it
back to the Nokia?

Thanks

It will work with no problem, but the T68 does not receive the 850 MHz
signal so you will miss some coverage.

Interesting reply..

What regions does Cingular work in?

Where do I find a table of countries by frequency (ie, bands., from tri-band or n-band)

much obliged

Not sure that I understand what you're asking but my post might also
have been confusing. I don't use Cingular outside of the USA because
the rates are obscene for international calls. I buy a local prepaid
SIM card which is much cheaper. For example, with my China Mobile
card, calls in the PRC are 9cents/minute.

Alan,
For that to happen, I would make sure that the T68 is unlocked to Cingular,
unless the phone is native to Cingular.
