I have been reading in the FAQ and it seems that I could.
I need a super tough cell phone as I'm very rough on my phones. The Sonim phones look to be right up my ally.
I have an AT&T Cingular service now that the contract is either up or will be in a month or two. Can I just go buy a Sonim phone, or if anyone has a suggestion for a really tough cell phone, and put my SIM card it it and go?
I live in IL.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Can I use a Sonim phone on my AT&T service
Did I post this question in the wrong forum? I'm sorry if I'm to ignorant to warrant an answer, it's just I don't understand everything that's going on in the cell phone world. Quite frankly, I don't care, I just want a cell phone that will stand up to hard heavy use. I'm tired of buying new phones just because I got caught out in the rain fishing or it rattles around in the truck and quits working for whatever reason.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. I don't use the internet or texting features. I just want to use voice mail and make and receive calls.
Is there a rugged phone available that will support whatever you said, and everything I need to use.
Thanks.

AT&T offers the Samsung SGH-a837 (Rugby) which has a GPS chip and has 3G.

The A837 looks good to me. If I buy one of these on ebay, will I be able to put my SIM card into it and go?
Thanks!

Re: Can I use a Sonim phone on my AT&T service
Your SIM card can be put into any phone offered by AT&T Mobility. If you use an unbranded phone not offered by AT&T Mobility, the phone will require configuration to use multimrdia messaging and the Internet.
It might be more difficult to find newly issued phones from AT&T Mobility on eBay, Unless you do not wish to renew your contract, you can get the phone at a discount from AT&T Mobility.
