Who invented ATT?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The company that became AT&T began in 1875, in an arrangement among inventor Alexander Graham Bell and the two men, Gardiner Hubbard and Thomas Sanders, who agreed to finance his work. Bell was trying to invent a talking telegraph -- a telephone. He succeeded, earning patents in 1876 and 1877. In 1877, the three men formed the Bell Telephone Company to exploit the invention. The first telephone exchange, operating under license from Bell Telephone, opened in New Haven, CT in 1878. Within three years, telephone exchanges existed in most major cities and towns in the United States, operating under licenses from what was now the American Bell Telephone Company. In 1882, American Bell acquired a controlling interest in the Western Electric Company, which became its manufacturing unit. Gradually, American Bell came to own most of its licensees. Collectively the enterprise became known as the Bell System.

How do you trace a phone card?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can't (unless you are in law enforcement), but if the call was harassing, you can call your carrier (or the cops) and have them take action. Tell them that you received a harassing call, and give them the phone number and date and time of the call. There are some web sites, that for a fee, will give you the name of the person to whom the cell number belongs. Just google various wordings of "reverse cell phone look-up".

I do not know how much it will cost to cancel your 2 year contract at AT&T. It all depends on how much your bill is not and how much you have left on your contract.

Can you use an ATT sim card with a non ATT phone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

i believe so, if the phone (unlocked) would be operable if, the GSM version aligns with the providers GSM offering. in other words if an AT and T go phone sim card originally worked through a AT and T phone, and operated on the GSM 1900 bandwidth, then the unlocked phone would have to be capable of working on the GSM 1900 bandwidth. The phone and sim card originally come programmed to operate on a predetermined GSM code and these numbers need to match for swapping to work.

How can you get a SIM card for your phone?

Asked by Wiki User

Open up the battery slot should be under a flat battery. First, switch off your phone. Remove the back of your phone and you should see the battery. The SIM card will either be visible beside the battery, or it will be beneath the battery. Remove the battery to gain access to the SIM card. The SIM card can then be slid out of its holder. You can then replace the SIM with a new SIM. Make sure it is in the correct way and replace the battery and the cover. Switch phone back on.

If you buy an iphone 3g can you just stick your ATT SIM card from your previous cell phone in it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hey

It depends on your location and your network For example, in the US, AT&T have a deal with Apple for a 2 year contract.

Now, you can always jailbreak your iPhone and then put in the other Sim card. You will retain your number. But I can't really say if your network will trace it or not.

Can you use a att sim card on a tmoblie phone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No you can not. The reason is that carriers lock their phones to only be used on their service. The only way you may do this is to go to a T-mobile store and ask if they can unlock it. They may or may not.

There are also services online to unlock your phone, but it is not free.
