Techie Help Wanted!

I have a Nokia cell phone, a TracFone, which I like; but I have been given a Motorola camera phone formerly of the Verizon family, and would like to make it my "new" TracFone, perhaps by moving the SIM chip or something...

TracFone Customer Assistance is more along the lines of account status and adding talk time etc., and doesn't seem to be interested in futzing with the equipment.

So...do any of you know

is it possible,

is it difficult,

or what?

Also, anyone freepmails me an e-mail, I've got an mp3 of JRRT reading the "What's Taters" bit from TTT.

So far as I know, there's no way to switch between services. My brother asked about that at one point and was told it'd be easier just to sell the phone and get a new one. And TracFone in particular uses their own technology, I belive.

But you might Google newsgroups or sumpin and see what people say.
