Recycle?

The manufacturer of my new phone tells me I can send my old one to them (postage paid; give Motorola credit) for recycling, but that I should remove all personal information from it first.

I can't even get it to boot up.

My understanding is that all personal info is stored on the SIM card in a cellphone. If that's the case I could just remove the card and send the phone off with no worries, right?

Not that there's any info other than about a dozen cellphone numbers on there anyway. I certainly never stored PIN numbers or anything like that in the phone.

Unless you stored any info on the phone's memory (which would only be contacts, etc), you should just be able to remove the SIM and be fine.
