I have the AT&T V505 and where I live the service is horrible with AT&T, but is great with Cingular. Ever since I have had this phone I can not get it to switch back and forth hardly at all.

THANKS CHRIS

Set the Network Settings to "Fast" or "Continuous" (which one works better for you depends on your trials)...it seems to help out much more for bouncing around between networks easier.
