Say your cell phone is lost or stolen. You have have another handset
handy, but your SIM card was in the stolen/lost handset. You can either
drive to a Cingular store and likely get charged for a new SIM card, or
you can pop in a spare that you may have handy, contact Cingular, get
your account tied to the spare SIM and be on you way.
