Currently I have my entire Law Firm with the 3G. Well it was time to UPGRADE! I purchased 16GB Black 3GS's for the firm today at AT&T. Since I have a Business Account, I am only able to purchase the phone through AT&T. Apple does not handle Business Accounts (oy vey .. the Apple store is such a breeze compared to the service at AT&T) I was told 7-14 days for shipment..the order is still processing!

One of my attorney's let me know current bid's on eBay for used 3G's are through the roof for some reason. I will let him handle putting all the phone's on auction, however, I am unclear on one subject. The SIM Card.

Should I keep all the SIM Card's? Does it contain any information that could be found if I shipped the phone's "as is" with the SIM Card still inside? Simply put, when selling on eBay or to anyone is it wise to keep your SIM Card, or unnecessary, since I will be receiving brand new one's with my 3GS purchases.

Thanks guys!

Regards,
Jay

I would keep the sim card just in case there is anything in it. Who ever buys your phones wont be able 2 use it cause I think (im not sure on this) once u activate your number on your new phone and with the new simcard the other simcard (the one u r using now) will be disable and cant be "re-activated" to use with any other phone number so the buyer dose not need your sim card at all. I took mine and cut it and threw it away just 2 be safe.:)

Also have everyone go to settings-general-reset-erase all content and settings. This will totally erase all info on the phone and install a fresh firmware on it.

I have always kept the sim on every phone I ever sold (well since they had sims). Its a good security measure and the new user cant use it anyway.

My new 3gs came with a completely new sim anyway but I still have my old one.
