Default Cell Phone service?

I changed from Cingular to T-Mobile. I like the service, but the new phone is not as good as my old phone. Can I switch my new service back to my old phone? How?

Probably but I would call T-mobile and ask them if they can do this for you. If not you can go online and find great deals on cell phones without having to sign a new contract. EBay is a great place to start. I have purchased several on there for very little money and they work great!! GOOD LUCK!!!

no.
only certain phones will work for certain companies..
they put their programming on all of their phones, so they'll only work for THEIR company..
i suggested getting a better phone that t-mobile carries

Assuming that your new phone has a sim card and your old card has a spot for a sim card to you can simply swap it back to the old phone.

Only problem which may arise will be if the old phone is locked to Cingular it will come up with an error message. Best to just try it.

you can unlock the old phone and make it work on tmobile. I dont exactly know how to do it but you are really putting a code on the phone and u are making it work on tmobile. It must be a gsm/quad band phone.

yeah, just take the SIM card from your new phone, and put it into your old one.


I have the same problem! i had sprint and i loooved my phone. so i got cingular service and stayed with my sprint phone.


to get the SIM, go to the back where the batteries are. it's that little tiny card. take it out, and put it in your old phone! should work great!



hope this helps (:

Well... look at what type of contract you signed because the company will charge you with such a hight fee that you will not be happy. I think cingular has roll over minutes of the minutes will be good.
