| I have a moto razr whose screen stopped working about 2 weeks ago. The phone still functions, but the screen wont come on. So I am now looking for a new phone. Im thinking the moto slvr, because I want to stick with moto and not have a flip phone anymore. Plus, I really dont need the functions the blackjack/blackberry has. My question is if I put my sim card in an unlocked slvr, will it work like normal? Also, what does unlocked mean? |

I have a SLVR and I'd think twice about not getting a flip; buttons love to press when it's in pockets etc. I still have a moto V551 as well, and I use that one occasionally, the SLVR never gets used any more. It's the 8525 pda thinger for most days, and the V551 if I want something a little more compact/rugged. That said the SIM should work fine in any unlocked phone, SLVR or otherwise. |
yes u can keep your contacts,just bring your old phone in when u buy a new phone and they can put your contacts from your old phone into your new phone.besure to put insurance on your new phone.luckily ive had my phones covered, been thru 5 phones in less then 2 years. |
| my carrier is cingular. I am looking at getting the phone off ebay, so I probably cant get the store to do it. Also, I have the data cable, but when I connect it to my phone, it does not show up on the comp. I heard I have to have some sort of program on the comp to be able o connect it, is this true? |
I have used this program with much success www.datapilot.com/ |

This is a bit difficult if his screen is broken, that's why I didn't mention it.

DUH! you get a friends phone and follow through button by button to do it  I've had 2 Razr's dump screens. I keep a backup file on disk of my phone book. |
Dustys right, save all your contacts to the SIM CARD not the phone. You can also transfer from the phone to the Sim card like above poster said. I go through about 5 phones a year and i store my contacts to the Sim card not the phone and the only time i ever lost ant contacts is when some COCKSUCKING MUTHAR FUCKAR Stole my phone in Emory hospital in ATL 2nd day i was there. I HATE GOD DAMN THIEVES
