Can someone explain difference b/t Orange and Blue networks?
If I go and sign up with Blue now via a web seller, will my phone work throughout Cingular's network, or only on some ATT areas?
I'm talking about a GSM 850/1900 phone.
Shouldn't any GSM phone run on both networks the same, or is there some coverage difference if you buy an ATT GSM phone?

It will pick up the AT&T first, and then Cingular. But even if the AT&T signal is patchy and weak it will stay on it until there is no signal. âšī¸

thats right jackie đ but there is also a bit more to it.ATT's phones were designed to pick up the ATT network only, with the merger the blue phones has access to both networks, the problem is that if you are on a att tower then pass a another tower(not att) that has the same power output as the att tower it will cause the call to get bad static reception then drop.
Thats why all the "new cingular" new phones are ENS capable to handle the new combined dual networks, so no static and less dropped calls.
anyone who chooses to stay on the...

Why do that when you can get a Cingular phone and itll pick up the strongest available signal? If theyre is an ATT phone you like, why dont you see about getting it unlocked and just get on with cingular? I dont know, doesnt really make sense. Im not even sure if youll be able to use Cingulars network, otherwise why would anyone from ATT buy a Cingular phone and migrate over so they can use Cingular network. This is just my opinion...
