Does Cingular have/allow OTA WAP Configuration?

I know SonyEricsson.com has it for Cingular, but for some reason it's not coming through. Does Cingular block this type of SMS?

Help explain Tether and MEdia Works to me-Please

Hi, I am a little lost and would appreciate help.
I am a longtime Cingular customer, and I have a legacy Wireless Internet Xpress that is $2.00/month that allows me to tether my Palm PDA via Bluetooth to my SE T616 using my minutes rather than Data, at a slow 9.6k. Using another dial-up ISP.

If I upgrade to MEdia Works I will loose this WIX since they cannot coexist. If I drop it I am told I will not be able to ever get this deal back-since it is years old

Here are my questions

1. Can I tether my PDA/or laptop through my phone to check email and do some light internet in MEdia Works. (I need to know quickly-2/13 is near)
2. If not is it due to blocked ports? That can be opened?
3. Since I have access to another dial-up ISP, if I ...

Weird Outtage

😕 Curious, was it just me or did anyone else get like a weird outtage tonight?

12:00am (Thurs. 2/9/05) my SIM unregistered itself from my phone (Moto V551. Thought maybe my info on my SIM had been deleted, so I tried it in my backup phone (LG L1400) and still nothing, my SIM was not even registering with either phone (Moto V551 or my backup phone LG L1400). Then at 12:44am it my SIM card re-registered itself with my phone. Very strange not sure if it was just a fluke or was there a service outtage of some sort.
Could it have been receiving updates? If so, do updates take 44 minutes to download?

And it wasn't wet it was just sitting on my desk with no liquids around...

ATT Towers not available to Cingular Users in my area

ATTWS has a tower on the property where I work. If you have ATTWS you can get max bars any where in the build. My Cingular phone and others with different types of Cingular phones still get marginal service. I read all of the posts for SIM card etc. So I go down to the local store and they tell me that the ATTWS towers in our area had not been setup for Cingular use yet. She stated that this was supposed to happen sometime in the next month or two. She also stated that a upgrade to a 64K SIM would not help until this transition is complete. After that it may help.

Does she know what she is talking about?

We Just found a Way to force att customers to migrate

I just talked to a Operations Manager who was talking about the merger that there is a loophole to migrate you over (force) and make you still have you keep your contract.See if you read the Terms of Service and it says that you must be spend the "majority of your usage on the ATT network to be eligible for service". Now even the the company's are owned by one group they are seperate, different plans, promotions, ETf's everthing.

Now speaking to NEST, national eligibility specialist test. that after seeing it (being off network, for the majority of usage, then they see who's network it is, if its cingular's network, then they would have to either migrate to the their network eith the current contract they had on att, or they can be cancel...

Towers combine for better reception?

I've noticed that my phone's banner was changed from "AT&T Wireless" to "Cingular." Does anyone know when the towers in the Chicago area (or anywhere for that matter) will be combined? My banner still switches from "Cingular" to "Cingular Wireless" when I'm in buildings (probably because the 850 is stronger).

Sometimes when it doens't switch automatically, my phone gets really bad reception on the old ATTWS "Cingular" banner 1900Mhz towers and it won't let me force it over to Cingular's "Cingular Wireless" banner 850mhz towers. When will it be seamless so I can just get the 850 or at least be able to force it?

Moto V551 vs Nokia 6230

I have the V551 but don't think its the greatest. I like an OS to respond quicker to the touch of a button than the moto does. I've had nokias all my life before the V551 and am thinking about switching over to the 6230. Anyone had any bad experiences with the 6230? Also, i'm in the central/ne mississippi market if that makes a difference.

Thanks

If I order on Amazon tonight, arrives Thurs, activate next wk, will I be on new or old plans?

I'm headed on a business trip and will be out of town when my phone arrives.

If I can't actually put the SIM in until next week, will that put me in the new rate plans?
