How to sell phones - sim cards?

[sativa]

I have jsut renewed my orange contract and being sent a new shiny phone.

I won't use half the gadgets on the new one so hope to use my current phone and sell the new one. Am I right in saying that I will need to use the new sim and put it in my old phone, because the old sim will be terminated?

Is there anyway around this as I would like to sell the new phone as a complete package..

Thanks mate. That is a very helpful answer.

As an aside I cannot believe the prices these phones go for at auction. Both my wife and I upgraded yesterday and have 2 nokia n80's on route. As we only text and make calls we won't make use of the new phones - that's a potential £400 from an auction site.
