I actually had to do that: my nokia phone 6102 broke at the hinge, I did not
have insurance and nokia said cingular may give me a loaner phone while it
is being fixed...


Guess what? If you have insurance, you could get a loaner phone, but if you
don't you don't get a loaner phone.

so, I called Cingular and said I wanted a go phone, and nonchalently, I
asked "If I get a go phone, and put my sim chip in there - say I didn't have
fully charged battery, will I be able to have my contacts & phone number? "

They said yes, so I bought the 6030 (only until my 6102 gets fixed), so I
got it and poped my sim into the 6030 and lo and behold, it works... Since
I'm waiting for my 6102 to come back from getting repaied, I'm using this
prepaid phone until it comes back...

So, yes it does work
