Question
Hello! I have a Motorola V365. Well it is cracked at the top...everytime I open it it gets worse. I need to get a new phone and was looking around for used ones (to save $) and want to know what phone will my Sim card transfer to?
What else do I need to be concerned about and look into before purchasing?
My suggestion is that you buy another AT&T phone if AT&T is your carrier. Always buy a phone that is branded by your carrier whenever you can. That way, everything is compatible. You can't transferring your SIM, you can just putting the SIM into the phone to have service. Don't look for a phone that works with all carriers (they don't, actually), just buy a new or used phone that is branded by your carrier and it is guaranteed that your SIM card will work with it. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
