Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / June 2005Would a new phone help with Cingular?
Hello: I recently moved and in the new neighborhood my old Siemens S56 ( simialr to http://www.mobiledia.com/reviews/siemens/s55/page1.html )has difficulty connecting to the network. I usually get a maximum of two "chevron" marks, and it is not very uncommon to see a single one. I wonder if getting a newer phone with an external antenna, such as a Motorola v265 ( http://www.mobiledia.com/reviews/motorola/v265/page1.html ), would improve the reception? Thanks! Deguza it would help if you hung up the goddamm phone and paid some fuckin attention to the road, biatch! http://community-2.webtv.net/bushisretardedlikequail/GEORGEDUBYABUSHIS YO!!!!!!!!!!! MACK DADDY!!!!!!!!!!! Your Siemens S56 is a GSM phone, and the Motorola v265 is a CDMA phone. These are two different technologies for use with different carriers. The v265 is only for Verizon Wireless unless you can get an unlocked version, in which case you may be able to use it with Sprint (if they will activate it). However, the v265 will never work with Cingular. Although I personally haven't checked it out, I've been reading on these forums that none of the newer GSM phones have an external antenna. Thanks. I guess I have to change carriers then. The reason I brought up Motorola v265 was that a friend who visited me is using one. He had very good reception where I live. I checked into switching over to Verizon some weeks ago also. Unfortunately to get a decent phone at a decent discount I have to sign up for two years. Deguza > Thanks. I guess I have to change carriers then. Not necessarily. If your carrier also uses GSM, you can just renew your contract but for GSM service. |
