DOes anyone know if Chicago is or will be one of the first cities to use this new technology? Also how much of the cingular network is still using TDMA? and where is it still being used?

Since I work in the Dallas market on the Orange side, I was wanting to take a stab at UTMS since it is available here in Dallas. My questions are....

1) Where can I find such a device? I tried ebay and could not find the Moto A845 or the Nokia 6651. Would my best bet be blue telsales?

2) Would blue let me activate under them since orange doesn't have it in place yet?

3) Does anyone carry a UTMS device on ATT? Any opionins?

Thanks for the information. 49.1 million customers! Keep up the good work. 🙂

I just got my Cingular account last 1/25/05 and already have a major problem. I am a heavy SMS user. Why do some of my incoming text messages come truncated? There is a header "1/2" (i assume this means "this is message 1 of 2") but I never get the second part of the message? These are from various senders. And I know it's not my phone (Moto V551) because I tried my SIM in my old Sony Ericsson and have the same problem.

Pls help ! 😢 Will appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone bought phone and service through Wirefly? Are they prompt? They seem to have good deals with rebates, I was wondering if I could trust them.Thanks

Kind of funny. Cingular's parent company signed a national contract with Verizon, something like 800 phones. They said that vzw better suited their needs.

Its getting close to January and I wonder is it the 2nd its coming or is it in the mid time of January?

The intena on my v400 is broken. It doesn't screw properly. The phone is less then a year old. I dont have insurance, but I was wondering if I went to a cingular store or called customer service could they send me an intena. Is it covered by the warranty? I think it'd be a bit stupid to file an insurance claim over an intena. Any advice on what to do? Please and thanks in advance!

Does anyone here happen to know what plans will be available for the Blackberry 7100g whenever they offer it? And by the way, when will they offer it? 😉 Thanks in advance for any info.

I'm not particularly happy that Cingular informs me, one month after I initiated service, that I must wait 6 months before I can use my phone to place international calls.

I understand the rationale -- they don't want to lose a bundle to new customers who abuse the system and then don't pay -- but this is severely inconvenient to honest customers who need to place overseas calls.

Might I suggest a modest limit per month ($25 or $50) on international calls as a more sensible alternative. That would be in the interests of both Cingular and its new customers.

According to Cingular I can upgrade one of my phones.
The service I have is a family plan - Region FT 500/5000NW, $9.99 for second phone.
One of the phones is TDMA (the upgradable one) and the other one is GSM which is locked in until October of this year. When I converted to family talk I did not purchase a new phone for the old line (which in retrospect was a mistake), therefore I'm not locked into a contract any longer on the TDMA phone.

How will an upgrade affect my second line, since it is locked in a contract until October.

Is it possible to get a GSM phone without extending the contract?

With the third week of 2005 upon us, is there any word of phonescoop.com or Cingular releasing any info as to what UMTS-enabled phones are tenative to be released on Cingular late this year?

If anyone can throw some models out into discussion as to what we might see first released? The first UMTS phones for Cingular are supposted to be from Nokia, LG, and Motorola per a previously released statement from Cingular on their plans for the new network to be launched in many markets in the fourth quarter 2005.

After SBC made the bid to acquire AT&T:

Because SBC and AT&T must continue to compete as if their merger may not occur, AT&T indicated it will proceed with plans to launch its own brand of cell phone service this year.

In an interesting twist, the new AT&T Wireless will compete directly with Cingular Wireless — which SBC owns in partnership with BellSouth. Cingular recently became the nation's biggest cell phone company with 49.1 million subscribers by acquiring acquired the old AT&T Wireless, which AT&T Corp. spun off as an independent company in 2001.

AT&T doesn't own a wireless network, so it had struck a deal to use Sprint Corp.'s cellular system. AT&T executives declined to say whether that deal would stand or whether they ...

I live in Long Island, New York. Which is that island that is east of Manhatten(N.Y.C.) The area codes here are 516 and 631 and the zipcodes begin with 117__. I don't carrier about coverage in N.Y.C.
Does anyone how good Cingular is here in Long Island? It seems that Cingular has great selection of phones, but nobody can tell me what kind of qaulity signal exist here.
Consumer Report says go with Verizon, but I don't know. They say CDMA has better coverage than GSM.
I don't want spotty coverage, if there are people in Long Island, N.Y. that actuality use Cingular please post here. I hope to hear from more than three people.
Thank you in advance.

I want a phone with streaming audio and video so i can go on yahoo.com and watch streaming videos and audio from my mobile phone. IS this possible with the phones out today or is this not possible? What kind of features do i need on a phone to do this?

Howdy y'all!

On my V551, anytime a file is downloaded, it automatically locks. Does anyone know of a way to either prevent that from happening, or otherwise unlock those files??
On my V600 with ATT, I didn't have this issue.

Thanks!
