SIM card vs. phone software

hypothetically if I bought an unlocked device, such as a Blackberry 7100T which is made for T-Mobile, would the phone be able to connect to the internet? Is the mini-browser program part of the phone, or does the SIM card tell the phone how the browser connects? I would expect that I could make calls, and receive SMS messages, but as for internet, and possibly voice mail functions, I am not sure.
Also, is this phone on the horizon for Cingular - I greatly prefer the smaller footpritn to the 7290. Thanks.

new phone unregistered sim

got the new phone from fedex...cingular's website says number is active. Sim is 'unregistered'. Do I need to activate the sim? I called cingular and they actually had a message saying they had to evacuate the building and to call back later. It's scary if they are taking calls for 46,000,000 people in one building....

If you want a Megepixel Camera Phone.........

If anyone is considering buying a MP camera-phone, I would go onto mobileburn.com. There is an in-depth review called "Megapixel Shootout" that compares the Sony Ericsson S710, the Siemens S65, and the Motorola V710 (verizon). It contains numerous Hi-Res photos taken from the phones themselves. Also, it has pics taken from the Nokia 7610 and the Sharp GX30. You may have to search for it.This is the most accurate and informative review on the above phones that I've seen.( no offense to Phonescoop )Happy Hunting.

Cingular's relationship with CellOne/Dobson

IS there a business relationship between these two companies? Does Cingular own an equity stake in DCEL?

My experience with Cingular so far (please tell me they don't suck)!

I ordered a motorola phone (free with 2yr. activation) online from cingular and requested they port my number from TMobile. I checked with cingular on the phone before I did this and they said they don't actually port the number until you have the phone, that way you don't lose service at all. Anyway one week later I call to check the order status - all I basically did was create an order online. Nothing was done. So here we go....they do a credit check (supposed to be done already), put the number in for porting and tell me to call a number to check in 1 hr. I call the number in an hour and notice my tmobile phone now has no service (so much for waiting til you have the phone to port). This person can't even tell me if the phone is set to b...

How is Cingular Going To Convert SunCom?

I was told that SunCom in Southwestern VA will be changing to Cingular by the end of Q1 at the very latest. My question is how will current SunCom customers convert to Cingular with the phone they already have? For example, the HipTop II (Sidekick II). Will that still be useful on the Cingular network? Will Cingular be getting the HipTop?

If you live or drive anywhere near Rockland County...


It’s not just about this tower, but if Cingular/AT&T loses, they might just give up on this whole area, (since I am sure they have spent a lot of money on this.... as is...)

I do not live in this area, but I have visited in the past, and this area really needs this tower, (plus many more area's in Rockland County) so let us make this a win for Cingular/AT&T, and for us "The Wireless Consumer"

Show up if you can, and show your support for "Cingular/AT&T" (which is finally getting it right!!)

64 K sim, whats the diff

I know my other posts are ..... stupid.
But in all seriousness , I have never seen 64 K sim , can anyone tell me if there is a physical difference in size, connection configuration or shape, to a 32K sim?

I am just curious if they simply compressed the tech or had to create a whole new interface design. Thanks

Would a 64K Sim help here?

At our house the tower with the best signal is a TMobile tower on the Extended Network, but my wife's phone struggles to pick up a weak Cing owned tower and as a result frequently drops calls, then momentarily looses service before picking up the TMobile tower. When on the Cing tower at home the phone gets 0-1 bars but full signal with the TMobile tower... Would a 64K sim allow her to just pick up the better signal all the time?

Or is there some other problem here? Why cant the call just jump from the cing to the TMob tower if the signal is weak rather than dropping/loosing service momentarily?

Billing period for minutes

Being fairly new to Cingular 😁, do my monthly minutes expire on the last day of a month, or on the day of the month I signed up?
