<w6ccd@xxxxxxxxx>:

Are SIM cards universal, or does each manufacturer use its own type?
I.E. could I take a SIM from a Nokia and stick it in a Morotola?

Yes, you can. You can switch between the two phones that way. The SIM
determines the phone number. That's also one way to transfer your phone
numbers from an old phone to a new one.
