Anyone know if Cingular is going to get this phone?

Currently offered by T-Mobile. Would an unlocked version work with Cingular?

Thanx for the help peeps 😁

you can get the t-mobile version unlocked, however it runs off of 900MHz so the reception if you have cingular might be in and out, my friend took it to a motorola center to get it unlocked, but he got bored with it and ended up selling it partially due to the reception loss

Correction,

I think 710 meant to say that the T-Mo version runs off the 1900mhz requency. Since the phone does lack the 850mhz band, reception problems may occur, or you might not have any signal depending on where you live.

I have an unlocked a630 that I use for Cingular here in Dallas. Reception is ok, as I get little to no signal in my house, whereas my V635 runs 4 to 5 bars all day. Having the 850mhz band does make a difference. The only other problem with using this phone or any unlocked T-Mo phone is that you can not change the media net settings. T-Mo apparently hides this menu. I am working on getting it flashed with the Cingular software so I can utilize the internet. If all you care about is voice and text messages, than this...

that phone will not come out it had reception issues on the 850mhz. Will is right there were a few came out for Cingular on the east there is no 850mhz. The phone is not worth paying 300 for an unlocked version with the 850mhz band that did not pass testing. Keep in mind the c1300 passed testing and that phone is hot garbage.
