Will this work or has Cingular been extra-draconian about Ogo activations?

Cingular is no longer activating Ogo's at all. There is a private individual who is coordinating active swaps from people giving up Ogo's and those wanting to get one. That is the only way to obtain a working Ogo at this time.

Here is the website for the active swapOgo Active Swap

Current Status: 10 ActiveSwap match intros made - 46 waiting for active ogos.

It should be 47 now...oh dear perhaps he's given up or maybe just slow

Or Cingular can just offer us Unlimited Text for a small fee.. yeah right..

well when i deactivated my ogo, the cingular person said all i had to do was call to reactivate the sim.

I called in June I believe, and they said that I missed some deadline. I'd go for it now though.

ill see if i can go activate it again, but my ogo is almost brand new.. hell it even has the plastic still on the thing. haha!

how does the swap work? is there some payment involved for it? (i can't see the site from work for some reason)

i have a sealed ogo that i want to get rid of.

the ogo must be activated already. and if you cancelled service, you must reactivate it within 180 days to reinstate the account.
