if u use a phone that doesnt use the 800 mhz whos network are u using?
If the phone a person using does not have the 800 mhz isnt it true were using t-mobiles network or are u using cingulars network?
...
who is their sim card subscriber?
if its t-mobile they use the 900mhz and 1900mhz but have roaming agreements to use some 850mhz.
cingular is 850khz and 1900mhz.
if a phone has 900mhz/1900mhz it will work with t-mobile better that cingular but that does not mean it is a phone meant for t-mobile.
hope that helps.
welcome 😁

Actually, T-Mobile ONLY uses 1900...There is no 900 in North and South America, that is completely an international band. Most of our network is 850.

T-Mobile isn't the only carrier that uses the 1900 GSM band, but they're the only national carrier that uses 1900 only. If you're in the Green Bay & Sheboygan areas of Wisconsin and upper Michigan, Einstein PCS uses only the 1900 band and they would pickup calls for users of T-Mobile. Cingular now has coverage in Green Bay & Sheboygan now that they acquired AT&T's Wisconsin network. Before that, Cingular only served the Milwaukee market. Just like in Indiana, Cingular originally didn't serve LaPorte County and South Bend market, but T-Mobile did. I don't know if the old AT&T network in those areas were 1900, 850, or both. If any phone doesn't have the 850 band and you go off the network, you better hope that you travel in an area that ...

My point was that T-Mobile ONLY uses 1900 on their network...it would be dumb for any manufacturer to produce a gsm phone NOW for North America that was single band (with multiple gsm carriers using both frequencies), so most have 850 and 1900. You should only see a 1900 only in older versions of gsm before AT&T and Cingular (excluding legacy markets), Suncom, Rogers, etc., migrated to gsm or 4 years ago for most.

It would be 850, not 800, but you would most likely be on Cingular's (it could be another roaming partner) as T-Mobile IS completely 1900...

800 and 850 are the same band. 850 is more accurate, but 800 for cellular has been used for years.
