    No, the old cingular sim cards use a 2G technology, or at best 2.5G, they also have less memory than the newer sim cards. you can use the old phone, and sign up for a pay as you go plan, that just deducts the money from your account without having to sign a contract, you will have the same service as a person with a contract call plan, but no contract. and pay out of pocket for the sim card. if the phone is very old (analog) then you can't use it at all, since the system is all digital
