ATT Leftover Inventory
Sorry if this seems a bozo question, but ATT obviously has lots of leftovers. I like the features of the Audiovox 5600 smartphone. I'd buy one outright & unlock it for Cingular. ATT was selling it for $199, but the local ATT store now wants full retail (~ $350) ... is that logical? It would be about $250 on eBay, already unlocked.
Also, I've seen comment here that Cingular "prefers" not to have ATT software on their network ... what's that mean?
That being said,you want to get a new ATT serrvice and have that phone for 199.99, otherwise no SALE, and The preference thing is that your data service will not work on your phone, the ATT brand phones were for Mmode and total different tech from MediaNet, so you can make and receive calls in you unlock it,but your data service will not work!!!!!
