Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / May 2005Looking for a map of 1900 coverage
I'm thinking of getting a Nokia 9300, a high end smart phone.It's a tri-band phone, and although Nokia originally announced that there would be a U.S. version with the 850 band instead of the 900 band, it so far has not appeared. The problem seems to be that Nokia is unwilling to bring it out unless one of the U.S. cell phone companies sells it, and so far none of them has taken it up. So I would like to know how much coverage I would get if I only had the 1900 band in the U.S. So far I have been unable to find any map showing Cingular's 1900 coverage--or anyone else's for that matter. Can anyone point me at a source of such information?

But the link you provided is only prepaid. Post paid (or on a contract) is much different. The maps for the post paid is here: http://compass.t-mobile.com/ T-mobile allows roaming on a lot of areas that is not shown on the prepaid map. (Since prepaid people cannot roam off of t-mobile.) > >> I'm thinking of getting a Nokia 9300, a high end smart phone.It's a > >> tri-band phone, and although Nokia originally announced that there would [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > that is not shown on the prepaid map.

I wan't sure so I used the prepaid t-mpbile only. >> >> I'm thinking of getting a Nokia 9300, a high end smart phone.It's a >> >> tri-band phone, and although Nokia originally announced that there [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > Do you know if any of that roaming is 850 ?

Who really knows what the coverage is with t-mobile. From what i have heard, they allow roaming on unicel, western wireless and dobson. To see a list, go here: http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/roa_uswe.shtml just scroll down to united states. (unless your just curious. I was. LoL ) > >> I'm thinking of getting a Nokia 9300, a high end smart phone.It's a > >> tri-band phone, and although Nokia originally announced that there would [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > that is not shown on the prepaid map. (Since prepaid people cannot roam off > of t-mobile.) Thanks to both of you. I was actually asking about Cingular's 1900 coverage, since I am currently a Cingular customer. I could imagine switching to t-mobile, but I would prefer not to. Does anyone know where I would find maps showing what areas Cingular had 1900 coverage in.

Ex-Attws is 1900 in most places with a few places using 850 also. Cingular is all 850 with the exceptions of the carolinas, ca, nv. (I think. Someone here will know..) > I'm thinking of getting a Nokia 9300, a high end smart phone.It's a > tri-band phone, and although Nokia originally announced that there would [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Cingular's 1900 coverage--or anyone else's for that matter.

In some areas, i.e. the SF Bay Area, there will eventually be no 1900 Mhz coverage by Cingular (they are selling the 1900 Mhz network to T-Mobile). Furthermore, carriers have a history of not allowing roaming when you are in an area that they serve. |
