What's the deal with Edge Wireless?
And no, I don't mean EDGE, the data technology, I mean these guys:

Are they a reseller? Or an MVNO? Are they part of Cingular somehow? Here's the important question: Could I use a Cingular SIM with an Edge Wireless branded phone?
Here's my thought - I'd really like to get a Nokia E70, which is $100 less (at the no contract price) than it is from Nokia. I won't be so optimistic as to think they'll honor my Cingular employee discount, but getting the phone for $100 cheaper appeals to me. And there's an Edge store not terribly far from me.
Does anyone know if my Cingular SIM will work?

They are neither.
They are an privately owned regional carrier that roams on Cingular and has a licensing agreement to use the name as a 'partner'.
Don't know if Cingy SIM will work. I guess that depends on if the phone locked or not.

It seems to be a regional carrier with Cingular that doesn't seem very popular. i doubt it will use cingular sim will work.

In Oregon Edge Wireless is a small carrier that has some kind of shirt tail relationship with the OLD AT & T.
We have put a couple of Edge customers into Cingular plans, using their Edge phones. We believe that they are unlocked GSM phones that should work on any GSM network.
The best bet would be to try someone's Cingular sim in the handset and see if it works.
