New 64K SIM came in the mail yesterday

I got a 64K smartchip SIM from Cingular in the mail, saying I should install
it in my old phone for improved roaming.

I called to make sure it would work in the phone I'm using which is
different than the one I got from them (which my son is using), and
different than the one my son got (it's an unlocked phone that used to be
ATTWS).

I noticed 2 immediate changes: one, the menu for selecting the carrier is
now disabled, and set to automatic; and two, the "roaming" icon seems to
always be on when connected to Cingular's network (maybe because it was an
AT&T phone originally?).

No, and no. I've been a Cingular customer from the start, but I happened to
get hold of a former AT&T phone, and when my Cingular phone started having
some problems, I got the AT&T phone unlocked and used it with my Cingular
SIM card. But the new card was for whatever phone I was using, and didn't
matter which one it was.
