I looked in the battery compartment and could not find a sim card. Does this mean anything? My carrier is Cingular and I somehow do not have a contract and my rates are competitive. The reason I am asking is an upgrade is available for the phone and I want to know which one to install. post:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.27662 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 15:19:52 -0800 aisleofview cellphone unlockedphone http://ask.metafilter.com/27662/how-do-I-know-if-my-treo-650-is-unlocked#435968 Go to Phone Info (menu-I from the phone screen) and read the software line. If the last three letters are ROW, it's unlocked. It should say Treo650-1.xx-ROW. If it says CNG, then it's locked (cingular), but it can be unlocked with a number of ROM flashers. If you want more on that, I suggest a google search, there's tons of info out there. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.27662-435968 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 17:22:00 -0800 allen.spaulding
