A Question Please About my Purchase

I wound up purchasing a Nokia 6340i 'unlocked' phone on EBay for about $35.00 using a 'Buy it Now' button and sent them a letter asking when it would be sent out and how to use it, I got back this reply:

It will work for cingular. Just insert your SIm card and you should be = > ready to go. > Thank you, > D&R Wholesale

Using the 'Buy Now' arrangement I just now bought and paid for a Nokia > 6340i cell phone.

Another email from them said it had shipped Thursday afternoon and should arrive by Monday or Tuesday at the latest. It said the (S)ubscriber (I)nformation (M)odule had all the information required for Cingular -- assuming I had an account there, which I do -- and it was just a matter of taking the SIM out of the one phone and putting it in the other phone. Now, if I can figure out how to open this new phone I have now (Nokia 6010) *get the SIM out*, open the new phone (Nokia 6340i when it gets here) and put the SIM in the new phone I guess I should have it made. No need to say a word to Cingular Wireless either way, _is that correct_? But I may wind up going to the dealer where I first got put onto GSM and have him do it for me.
