GAIT/GSM

I live in a spotty coverage area. A small regional company has CDMA here, that gives me pretty good service except in my house. Cingular put a tower a block from my house, so I'm thinking of switching. But nearby there is an area with a CDMA antenna, but poor GSM coverage. A Cingular CS guy said I can get a GAIT phone and use it for GSM and GAIT, but I haven't seen any handsets that say they'll do that. Anybody know about this?

Mandatory Area Code

Does anybody know anything about the area code being required on every call on cell phones? I made several local calls over the weekend on my cingular v551, and it never even rang, it told me call could not be completed as dialed. Then i redialed with the area code and it worked just fine. Can somebody explain? Also, does anybody know if you can set the v551 to automatically dial the area code?

Thanks for the help

I think Cingular is the Best..

I have been with Cingular since its inception and it had been a great carrier for me. I cant honestly remember the last time I had a dropped call. VZW is a great carrier in its own right. They offer coverage where Cingular doesnt, and vice versa. The point is, whatever works where you need it is the best for you. Cingular does it for me, so my opinion is biased towards Cingular. There are other factors that go into determining who is best. Cingular by far carries the best phones with the most features. I have a Nokia 6620 and it is the best phone I have ever had. The others are not even close. If you are a VZW supporter, go to their forum and post. This happens to be Cingular's forum and we don't mind other carriers coming over and reading, ...

New Nokias ????Anyday

I am wondering is Nokia going to make any new really great GSM phones??? The Nokia 6230 is a great looking phone, not offered in my area...thanks Cingular. Nokia seems to be trying to offer crazy designs and un-practical styles again. Are they going to step it up any time soon for UMTS models? Any one know anything coming soon that is not on the Nokia website?

Motorola Phones Software Problems

I have had the Motorola T720 for the last year and a half and had to exchange in about 3 times because of the service problems with my phone ! The reps keep telling me that this phones software is not compatible with Cingular service and thats the problem....IS this true ?? Also do you think its wise to go with another Motorola as my next phone(which would you recommend?) or should I just go back to Nokia or another brand ?? I live in Baltimore and my Cingular service is not the best so I dont know if its the phone or the service itself too.....

Cingular's "Tax and Surcharge" more than TWICE of Tmobile's

I just got my bill from Cingular after switching from Tmobile and I was quite surprised to see Cingular add a full $13 for "Tax and Surcharge" on my monthly bill!

TMobile only charged me $5.40 for the same items.

Both Cingular and Tmobile charged me $1.20 in "Federal Excise Tax ($1.20)", but only Cingular chaged "State & Local Tax ($4.40) - California".

Also TMobile's 911 fee was 27 cents while Cingular tacked a FULL $3.22!!! Man I need to make some 911 calls if I'm going to fork out so much for the service ;)

Can anyone enlighten me why Cingular's surcharge is more than TWICE of TMobiles???

Looks like highway robbery to me.
