So my question is, can I get a new plan with cingular without having to pay a deposit or having to get into a 2 yr. contract since I don't need to get a phone from them?

You can set it up as a Go Phone with COAM(customer owned and maintained) equipment. All that you need to do is call telesales(or go into a store) tell them that you want to start service on a Go Phone account and that you already have a phone. They will send (or give) you a SIM card and you will need to call in (or it will be done in the store) to set up the service completely.

If I understand you correctly, you have a Cingular phone and want to sign up with Cingular but not sign a contract. If this is correct, the simple answer is YES. It’s called a “no contract Option” on a post paid account. You would have to go to a corporate Cingular store and ask for a COAM, or customer owned and maintained equipment option. Lets say you wanted to get the 39.99 plan with 450 minutes, roll over and 5000 N&W with m2m. The difference without signing a contract would be you would NOT get the mobile to mobile minutes, That’s a promotional feature for signing a contract. Not signing a contract means you are not eligible for promotional features. As to a deposit, you still might have to pay a deposit depending on your credit. Other option is pre-pay Go Phone but the best bet is the post pay no contract

Yes you can, I just did a few months ago. I did go down to a cheaper plan because I wasnt using all the minutes I was paying for and my rollover minutes were expireing. I paid nothing extra and didnt have to start a new contract. The only time I think you have to start a new contract is if you buy a new phone and want it at the new contract price. The cheaper price. If not you pay regular price for a new phone and dont ahve to start a new contract.

I have been with Cingular/AT&T for six years now and you have to have a new contract/new phone. I upgraded my phone six months ago and now have to get a new one along with a new contract.

I believe you can and they have those go plans too. They offer the new phones for free so that you can get into a contract, but if you already have a phone, there's no need for a 2yr contract

we surely did this 2 weeks in the past. you would possibly want to call Cingular and note in case you could improve or no longer. To get the improve you would possibly want to renew your contract for 2 extra years. the perfect position to improve your telephone is Walmart (believe it or no longer). I purely upgraded mine to the LG 500, which has a equipped in mp3 participant, video, and perfect photos for like $38. in case you bypass by Cingular you could might want to look ahead to the rebate to come back contained in the mail 6-8 weeks later.
