I am selling my phone and my wife's nokia 3595 phones on ebay. We had
service with AT&T and are now with Cingular and have new phones. Do I need
to include the SIM cards with the old phones or do I need to take them out
for security reasons?

Thanks,
Greg

Take them out. To be activated, the buyer will have to use his/her own SIM,
or buy one from Cingular. In fact, simply changing the phone -number-
requires replacing the SIM, even if the phone doesn't change
wnership. -Dave

yea i would just destroy the sim cards since it may still have account
information on them, besides you got new phones and SIM cards anyway,
you probably won't get much for your 3595's on ebay, but its probably
also the only place you'll actually be able to sell them on. good luck

Thanks. I figure I can get about 20 bucks out of them if nothing else. Or
possibly donate them to a Crisis Shelter.

It does not require changing the SIM if it's the same account owner.
They can just do an OTA update to the SIM if the number is being
changed.
