want to share sim card on phone and BB 7290
OK, let's do this:
I just got a new 7290 from work. From what I understand the service is under AT&T which is "blue". I hate carrying the BB around outside of work and want to buy an unlocked GSM phone. I want to just swap the SIM card since my personal phone # is tied to this device and they are footing the bill. I also want to seperate my work contacts on the BB from my personal phone numbers. Even better would be to clone the card and just keep the BB off when I only want to carry the phone. I've heard that data won't work when I put the AT&T card in the new unlocked phone. Is this true? Will SMS work? Camera photos? Can I basically get any unlocked phone like the RAZR, Nokia, etc.? Any advice and/or pointers are appreciated, thanks! |

As for data and SMS, I'm not totally certain. I used to put my BB SIM (an old ATT SIM) in a phone once in a while, but never messed around with the phone except to make calls. BBs work on a BB plan, not a cell phone data plan, so you may not be able to get data on the phone (and if you can, it may be a per kb rate that will kill you). I think SMS should work, but you'll pay per message (I think). Others here surely know more about data and SMS. And, I think there are some prior threads on all of these issues. Try a search. JT |
