Will cingular carry it, and when? o and how much will it cost?

If I purchase a 900/1800/1900 bandwidth unlocked phone, what areas will it not work (i.e. where is the majority of the 850?)..

If the majority of the network is 850, I would like to know so that I do not purchase this phone..

Thanks..

The one thing that's wrong with these forums is company loyalty! People who complain about cingular most likely have verizon and vice versa. 1 bad bill or 1 bad cust. servuce call doesn't rule out an entire company.

I ordered 40 Nokia 6102 phones today...

AND THEY'RE COMING!!

I'm so excited! Just thought I'd share

😛

I heard that Cingular will be releasing an unlimited anytime minutes plan similar to the ATTWS Charter Plan.

Has anyone hear this also? Any time frame?

Thanks

Ok, I know now about a Samsung, and the LG phone. I was at a retail store yesterday, the rep confiremed the Samsung, the LG. In addition she stated that there will be a Motorola phone w/ PTT and a Sony Ericcson w/ PTT. I also saw on a post on here of a Sony Ericcson that will be eventually released for PTT. Any truth/fact about a Motorola(my first guess was the SLVR L7), or the Sony Ericcson to be released to work on Cingular New Ptt network.

WHEN will it be released (US or Europe?) Who knows what?

Does anybody else?

I live in Kirkland, I'm considering cingular

Verizon is increasing their plans by .40 each month. Customers will be able to get out with no termination fee.

I know Cingular lists their international rates, and there's some rate for Mexico, but I was wondering about near the border. If you're in Tijuana, is it possible to be in range of US towers still? The touristy areas of the city are probably within a couple of miles of the border, but how far does the range of towers extend? or will the phone use the strongest signal nearby (most likely a tower in Mexico)?

There have been absolutely no GSM towers in my region, up until recently, we've seen some Cingular trucks on the mountainside beginning construction on a tower, and I'm sure more will be on the way. That said, the nearest Corporate Store is an hour away from the area, and further for some places. I know that Cingular has some unique phones and plans that could probably give the only competition around here (Verizon, Eloqui Wireless) which is CDMA based, a run for their money.

I've been searching for days, but cannot seem to find documentation anywhere to become an agent for Cingular Wireless, like I can for the other two companies.

That said, if you're an agent for Cingular, if you could let me know what challenges I'm going to get to ...

hey everybody how much will this phone be w/o contract? 😎

I have to repost this in it's own thread because there seems to be a constant fight between both users and employees. I have both and here is why you might consider that as well.

There is a great economic reason to get two phones along with MANY other reasons.

1. Instead of paying one carrier $100 and suffering with only their feature set and coverage You can pay 2 $50 each and have the BENIFIT of BOTH carriers and feature sets! No brainier there. Or split $200 etc.

2. You now have 2 numbers like most people have anyway, Except both are with you all the time.

3. Where one phone does not work usually ALWAYS the other will. Better coverage for the SAME outlay.

4. Redundancy. If you lose one phone you can foward the number to t...

I think this is such an awesome phone. great rival for the razr and better reception.. Nokia rocks

Could someone explain to me why cdma still uses the extending ant.? but not just cdma, because iden uses it too? Does it have advantages? If so, why doesn't gsm use them?

So my first issue had to do with issues calling certain phones in an area code. I have a 425 area code number (Eastside of Seattle), but I live down in San Diego, 619 area code. I have several friends who have 206 area code phone numbers, that are still using their ATT plans (haven't migrated over to Cingular). When I try to call them while I'm down in San Diego, all I get is a busy signal, no voice mail, no rings, etc. I'm not sure if there's an issue with other ATT numbers and other areas, but I had this result with 3 friends number's that I tried. when I was over in Phoenix, AZ, I could call the 206 numbers perfectly fine though, so my guess is there's an issue with some San Diego towers. Has anyone else run into an issue like that,...

If you take a look at Cingy's site, under MEdia Net and compatible phones, http://www.cingular.com/media/media_phones, what is an "Answer Tone"? Could it finally be ringback tones?

Dissappointed to hear that the 6102 will not 😡 . Cinglar...all I want is a decent phone w/ a camera that works on your up & coming ptt network....tell me this will be possible. If you have COLD HARD FACT of phone's that will be released for PTT please list. I only heard of the one LG phone...no camera or nothing ☹️

There must be quite a few reasons otherwise why would all you outsiders spend so much time here trying to prove things you can't?! A little intimidating to go against Cingular all the time isn't it?! 😉 🙂

If you would spend half your energy you waste here on things within your carrier trying to improve them, maybe you would win more customers the honest way. Very sad.
