WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? - GSM-Forum

MR NO NAME · 02-17-2002, 01:01

I have managed to obtain (LEGALLY!) a Nokia 6160 which is an American version of a digital 6110.It is brand spanking new,in the box with all papers,but it has no space for a sim card! It is a pay as you go that u top up with your crdit card with at&t for when u r in the states.It just needs topping up and its ready to roll! Now apart from selling it (which i might do) ,can i use or modify it for any other use?

Like you said... a "pay as you go" solution without SIM!<br />The account sits at the providers computer like with any other prepaid cards as well, except you will always have to use this phone with the same provider <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

With a "normal" prepaid phone you can still change the SIM (if unlocked) and select a cheaper provider of your choice.

Hi, It's an American phone and it's analouge! If you want to reprogram it you would need to alter the ESN and NAM but I don't think there is any where ai Europe still using analouge?

It is an AT&T DIGITAL PCS NOKIA. I know this because it says it on the box and on the handset itself.

lol! ok, so I was wrong about it being analouge but PCS digital is still next to useless outside the USA!
