Changing SIM card?

**RegGuheert** · 10-20-2008, 06:59 AM

I guess this question has to do with security within the phone. Let's say I set up Google on the phone with one SIM card. What then happens if I place a different SIM card in there? Does the phone work as normal? Will it require a hard reset and new setup? Some other behavior?

I wanted to know if my contacts from my gmail account online will be synced with my contacts on my phone when i start it up? Don't wanna have to go through the whole copy to sim business.

As soon as you enter your gmail username and password, all your contacts, calendar appointments, email, and docs are ported over.

The answer is: When you start the phone with a different sim card installed, it simply asks for the gMail password again. I guess that should have been obvious, but it wasn't for me!

The bottom line is that you can put any sim for a plan that has data into the phone to get gMail set up and then switch to any other sim thereafter.
