Alright. I'm asking for a favor for some of the CA guys. Hopefully one of you guys can actually help me out ...

Are any of you guys Cingular employees? Reason I'm asking is this ...

I'm sure you guys heard that AT&T is getting out of doing wireless. Well, I'm with a spinoff company from AT&T (SunCom), so I'm being absorbed into Cingular. No big deal to me. I'm gonna get better service and coverage. There's only one problem ... I CAN'T USE THE PHONE I JUST BOUGHT 3 MONTHS AGO! I bought a Nokia 6820 a few months ago, right before they started the switchover. I got a letter last week, saying that I'm going to have to get a new phone that'll work on the Cingular network. I'm pissed. I just spent $200 on a phone that I can't use any more.

Well, I'm in the process of getting the phone unlocked. That's not gonna be too bad. Found a service online that'll do it for me since I screwed it up. But I still need to get a hold of a Cingular SIM card ...

So, what I'm asking of you guys is this - Any of you work for Cingular that get ahold of about 6 SIM cards for me? I've got a few friends and relatives that just bought phones too that'll need to have them unlocked and new Cingular SIM cards. I'm definately willing to pay to get these cards.

If you guys have any other ideas, please let me know. I'm just really pissed that I have to give up this nice, new phone for some cheapy freebie they're giving away.

Yeah. Tell me about it.

Actually, it's in both NorCal and SoCal. I just figured that the CA population is huge, that *someone* must have a job at Cingular.

if your phone doesn't use wireless internet, i suggest just buying someone's old cingular phone for like $10-20 on ebay/craiglist or something and just use there sim card. If you going to use wireless internet then try to get a sim card thats come out within the last yr. I heard cingular added a extra block of dummy information in there sim cards thats come out within the last yr, that'll become active when they launch their multi media wireless internet network thing.
