This question is good to Google for. I looked into programming/reusing SIM cards a while back and found a lot of useful information in about 30 minutes. But, its been a while since I fooled around with this. Here is what a SIM card is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_Identity_Module What I can tell you is that the SIM card carries important information about the phone, the provider, your settings, etc. I believe that these SIM cards apply only to GSM phones. You can take you phone to Another Country, pick up a SIM card from a provider and put it in your phone. But I'm not sure you can do it the other way around (use your original SIM card and get a different phone). You can buy new SIM cards and also copy(backup) and edit(hack) them with usb adapters both are readily available on places like ebay. Anyway just look on google for some more information and include words like "GSM" SIM card" and ""mobile phone". later Yes you can use the phone that you bought in Overseas with the SIM card from your old phone as long as the the phone is triband or quadband unlocked phone. If you buy your phone from Asia or Europe most of their phones are dualband 900/1800MHz because the bands in their country is 900MHz or 1800MHz or both. The band in US is 1900MHz and in some places Cingular has 850MHz. In order for your phone to work in US it has to have the 850/1900MHz band and it has to be unlocked. Also why would one buy a phone in Overseas when you can buy those latest unlocked phone here in US from Romeohifi.com. They have dualband,triband and quadband phone. There phone number is 631-770-0550. Good luck.
