to sign up or not to sign up.
Hello all... I'm writing hoping to get alittle insight from some of you who are more wireless savvy than I am... my wife and I are considering signing on to a 2 year commitment with cingular on a national plan.

GAIT stands for GSM-TDMA Interoperability. It allows a person to use the full Cingular network - Analog, TDMA and GSM. GAIT will give you coverage in areas GSM will not.

This will give you a pretty good idea if GSM will be enough to meet your needs, or if GAIT will fit you better.
As for GAIT coverage... yep, its that good 🙂
