Razr to Treo upgrade - Treo Forums

stsiddall · 10-23-2007, 06:48 PM

I've got a AT&T/Cingular Razr and want to get a Treo. Can I get an AT&T/Cingular compatible or unlocked Treo and use the SIM card from my Razr? If so, which Treo's can I do this with?

Which Treo's have wifi ability using a SD wifi card?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Palm OS Treos will not work with a WiFi card! Only Treos running WM will work. There was a company that made a sled for the 650 to run WiFi, but they have discontinued it. As far as unlocked working with your current SIM. You can find them used on ebay, unlocked! If the phone is indeed unlocked, there is nothing special you have to do. Slam that SIM in and your ready. You can buy unlocked from Palm on their web site. Or you can buy from AT&T, and after owning the phone 3 months, you can ask them for the unlock code and they will provide it free of charge. They won't provide it under a year or two year agreement, until after 90 days however. I bought my current 680 through AT&T outright without a contract. I got a discount through my company that made it much cheaper than buying direct from Palm. I brought it home, put my SIM card out of my Cingular Branded 650, and haven't looked back. The 680 isn't unlocked at the moment, but since my SIM was Cingular/AT&T, it was compatable.

The AT&T / Cingular card, if it's the one I'm thinking of, will work. That's the one thing about Cingular/AT&T I never liked. Is you can take any card even from a pay as you go phone and slap it in another phone and it will work. Kinda makes it easy for those people in society that are a little less legit, than the rest of us.

Your negative is my positive. I like being able to slam the card in an old Nokia and cramming that one in a front pocket! The old Nokia is beat all to pieces and I don't worry about it. So if I am going mountain biking, or something else, that I think might lead to a wet or damaged phone, its the Nokia over the Treo!

I never quite looked at it in that light, however, I'd have to agree. In that regard that would be much better.
