Hi, I need to know if I buy an AT&T locked phone, will it work with a cingular prepaid SIM card (the *Cingular* prepaid SIM card does work with other Cingular phones) or will I have to unlock it? Also, Will I be able to use MEdia Net on the new phone (Nokia 6820 - the phone I am using now is a Nokia 6010) ?
Thanks,
Gino
PS. Is the Nokia 6820 a lot better than the 6820 - like the image quality? I mean like besides the camera/bluetooth/IR/and QWERTY keyboard of course!
And...sorry...One more thing... With the 6820, can you just flipit open to answer an incoming call, or do you have to press the talk key (or whatever)

No, if the phone is an old AT&T phone you will have to unlock it to put a Cingular SIM in it. Since AT&T and Cingular merged, they might be able to give you a remote unlock code, call and ask them. Now, when you have the phone unlocked and the SIM card in, you will have to configure the MediaNet service with the following link:

A cingular sim will not work with an at&t phone unless it is unlocked. the technology is differant.
