The 6340i is a gait phone, and the new failing phone (6126) is a GSM only
Quad Band, which they say should be better than my Gait phone. I do not
understand how the sim is used, but are you saying if the sim was removed
from my old 6340i and placed in my new 6126 in order to keep my phone list,
it may be causing the problem?
