Would I need separate service and such or will I be able to just slip my RazrV3 Cingular SIM card out of the fone and slide it into the GC83 or Sierra card and be up and running? I have a data plan on it... or is there some kind of "locked" feature to the cards too??

Have a look at http://navasgrp.home.att.net/tech/cingular/index.htm
I think he moves his phone SIM to a GC83.

The card should work with your existing data plan if it's [b1] unlocked or
[b2] locked to Cingular.

Hello John,

I would like to ask if you know whether or not the GC83 will work as a fax
modem for outgoing faxes?

Thanks,
James Ayton

A GSM phone has no real dialup modem, just a sort of virtual modem which
makes a connection to a carrier's IWU (Inter Working Unit), located in some
service center. The IWU has the actual modem that can make analog data calls
and/or fax calls over the PSTN (public switched telephone network). If the
carrier doesn't provide an IWU, or if your account isn't provisioned for CSD
(Circuit Switched Data), then a GSM phone cannot make data and/or fax calls.

Regardless, my recent tests suggest that Cingular has turned off IWU support
for faxing, making this a moot issue for any GSM phone.

That was pretty much the answer that I got when I called Cingular. They
won't do faxes via my tethered Motorola V551 phone, but I wasn't sure about
a GC83 card.

If eFax did pay-as-you-go faxes, that would be fine. I don't want to
subscribe, though.

I do pay-as-you-go fax with Fax1.com

12 cents a page outbound is a lot less than I expected for a pay-as-you-go
service. Is that it? Do you have to subscribe to the inbound fax in order
to send? The inbound fax1.com is a subscription, the inbound efax is free.
Outbound fax1.com is cheap, outbound efax is a subscription.

Using both services from either vendor costs money, pairing the two sounds
nearly free.
