I bought a 2001 BMW in December 2005. It is equipped with a Motorola StarTAC integrated phone system. The prior owner stopped service with Cingular in November 2005. They told him the phone could be reactivated. When I bought the car they said the phone was obsolete and could not be reactivated. I got the same story from the BMW dealer and from ATT (took over Cingular). The phone still works and reaches a phone company message “We do not recognize your number as an authorized user”. The model number is 84110018736 and the serial number is FCF10AEO-ALT 934 S3#1. There is no removable “card” behind the battery.
Can anyone make this phone work. I have active Cingular/ATT accounts that can be used.
