Hi. My contract expired with cingular a few weeks ago and I called and canceled. I don't hardly use this phone so I want to do prepaid. Can I use this same phone? It's a nokia 5165. Can I just go to walmart and buy a cingular phone card (or any card) to use with this phone. Will I be issued a number? I'm a novice so I need all info in detail. I do not want any contracts. Thanks

If u hardly use the phone, maybe you can lower your usage plan to one thats more fitting. With Cingular if you are out of contract there is no extra monthly fee. If u took your phone to them now you could have it activated with no contract. Or you could call up customer support and they would hook you up too. Maybe if you didnt cancel it too long ago they could reuse your original number. Im not sure if they sale prepaid sim cards in the states yet, if they do u could get one from any other provider and install it in your phone. The only downfall to this would be that you would have to have your phone unlocked. Someone PLEASE correct me on this.

cingular in your area might offer prepaid service. It wont hurt to ask cingular. right now your phone is locked to the cingular network. if your want away from cingular you will need to have it unlocked. sorry bout the sim, your phone isnt gsm.
cingular doesnt offer prepaid anymore for tdma phones. your phone is a tdma phone. the new plans for prepaid are only for gsm phones. you should get a trackfone instead. prepaid with cingular sucks. you will be happier with trackfone.Last edited by techsupport; 11-01-2004 at 07:38 PM.
