Can a SIM cards be inserted into another phone?

I want to keep Cingular phone service, but their phones suck! If I buy a phone directly from the manufacturer, say, Nokia, will I be able to insert the SIM card into the new phone? (My current phone is LG.) Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm technologically challenged!

Can a SIM cards be inserted into another phone?
Yes. Bit of the phone is "locked" you have to unlock it first. It's mostly pay-as-you-go phones that are locked; but others obtained at concessional prices (or free) may also be locked.





You can do it by getting a code online or for free, or a shop can do it, often for $10 or £10.

Reply:Yes, I am assuming you meant to buy an unlocked phone from the Internet. Unlocked phones don't have restrictions on bands and provider coverage. You could however, also unlock your current LG phone for a small price at certain places on the web.
Reply:If you purchase a phone from Nokia you need to make sure its GSM capable and it has the 1900 and 850 frequency. Normally when you purchase phones from the manufacture they are already unlocked. They are only locked if you purchase from a wireless provider. Also if you purchase a phone straight from Nokia be sure to call your provider to configure your phone so you can use the internet and picture messaging. Cingular doesnt charge to do it and its simple.
Reply:Yes . You can insert sim card into other cell phones (only if you can remove it from your original Cingular phone)
