Hello Everyone,

I purchased a Nokia 2610 but realized I should have gotten the 1208. Has anyone had lucking exchanging phones at 7-11? What did you say to do this?

Thanks

I think it would be quite hard to do so with the store, since it would be difficult to check if the sim card inside has been activated.

I have a new 1208 if you want an exchange. 😉

It depends on the store. This seems to be at the manager's discretion.

I was able to swap 1600s a year ago when the first one was defective. To get around the issue of whether I had used any airtime on the SIM, we also swapped SIMs so that I kept the original one. Note that when you swap SIMs you also should update the phone number that's printed on the box to correspond with the phone number that's assigned to the SIM.

You can check if a phone is activated by calling the number on the box. If the sim was activated it would goto voicemail but if it wasent it would just make a weird beeping noise

What would happen if the vm is not activated? As I recall vm activation required additional steps.
