<br><font size=2><tt>I talked to an AT&T rep the other week about switching
to an externally purchased phone, and what-all it would entail on my part
and on theirs. The rep indicated that all I would need to do is to
remove the sim card from Phone A and place it into Phone B and then call
them and provide the IMEI for Phone B and (voila!) all would be well.
He also said that they would have to change the price structure if
I purchased a PDA phones which he defined as a phone with a keyboard, which
sounded a bit arbitrary. My Nokia N75 can do most of the same things
keyboarded phones with an OS can do.</tt></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>Also in the past, when I have switched phones, I have
never provided the IMEI. But then I have never purchased a phone
out of plan before, either.</tt></font>
