We got the new phones at an Apple store and the old phones were deactivated before I walked out the door. (The new phones were activated while still in the box).
Does the SIM card contain any of my ATT cell plan info? The phone number, anything?
Our new phones are up and runnig with all our data transferred. No need for a backup of the old phones.

If selling the phone, hackers like to get these phones with the deactivated sims still in the phone. Makes hacking the phone easier. Once done, they will throw the sim away as it is useless to them once they've hacked the phone.
