Default Using Unlocked phone with service...

I bought a barley used V3 RAZR that's been unblocked ( that was formerly Cingular). I got the phone today, and I took my SIM out of my old phone ( Nextel i530) and put it in my RAZR...the RAZR detects the SIM and everything, because it says my name and number...

but i can't make or recive calls, and my contacts ae gone...Is there something I have to do in order t use it? something with the settings or something??? yelp me

you sure the contacts were saved to your sim and not on the phone itself? I dunno about the receiving/sending calls part

I know nextel uses sim cards....but i didn't think they worked on other phones besides nextel phones. That's what i thought but i also don't think that often.

is it the right network?

PS: how much did you pay for your razr?
