So where is the sim card located in most phones? I assumed the sim card was actually in the battery pack (not that the battery actually had everything stored on it)...
Oh, I don't think it does equal that
although I seriously work with some people who think that it must mean that and well, they're old

normally you slide out the battery and you'll see a very small card there approximately 2 cm x 3 cm one side will have the provider logo, and the other will have a gold chip on it

That is what I was thinking, but if you slide the battery off of this phone there is no card on the handset - thus my reasoning behind thinking the card could be in the battery pack. I'm not really sure on that though. Either way, if/when I get this phone (bid is still at $5 - and it comes with a leather case that I'll never use) I can have everything transferred from my old phone if I need to.
Ugh, here is one answer I found while trying to search about this:
I would think Verizon would be able to hook the phone up to one of their computers and do this for me though...Another downside of this phone is that, being a CDMA phone - your data is stored locally to the phone and not on a sim card. So if you switch phones for any reason - you can't take it with you (unless you offloaded your addressbook and data to your PC with a data cable *SEE "EXTRAS" BELOW*).
Ok, well, I called a local Verizon store and they informed me that Verizon does not even use sim cards, and that everything is stored on the motherboard on the cell phone. If/when I get this new phone, I can go online and activate it to have my number switched over to the new phone, but I will have to take it to a store to have everything switched over...
so uh, what is your max bid? I really don't want the phone but I could use the leather case if worse came to worse...

My max bid right now is $10, but it looks as though I am going to get it for $5. The woman at Verizon said I can go to their website to have the phone activated and have my number switched to the new phone. Only problem with that is that it has been a year since I logged on to that site, so I can't remember my password. Guess what happens when you try to reset your password on Verizon's site - it sends you a TEXT MESSAGE with your temporary password...Now how in the **** am I supposed to get my temporary password when the whole reason I am getting a new phone is that my current phone's main screen went completely black...
you might want to recheck that.I am going to get it for $5.

1TC, that better not be you bidding on that **** phoneMy current bid is now at $6.50...I could see you bidding on the phone just to get the leather case since I turned down your offer for the free Nokia...
Not cool man...Seriously.
it's a buck fifty. Settle down.

You can go to the Verizon store and they can activate the phone there too. My phone completely died and luckliy my dad had his old verizon phone to give me. I took it to the Verizon store and they hooked it up w/no questions asked.

I'll probably just take it to the store and have them activate it since I am going to have to go in to have everything transferred over anyway...
assuming that you win the phone...
I'm kidding

Actually, you just cost me a buck fiddy...
hmmm...
I wonder if I could retract my bid and just let 1TC have the phone...If you and another bidder placed the same bid amount, the earlier bid takes priority.
You can retract your bid under certain circumstances only.
Then I'll have two phones that I can give away when people tell me that their phone is broke.. It's just $15 we're talking about here.
There's still 2 hours left and I have received a PM asking for the link so they can bid too. I'm not going to do that but I reserve the right to change my mind, I haven't checked my spek in a while...
