Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / June 2005Bought my phone, do I have to tell Cingular?
I decided to just go and buy my own phone and not go through Cingular... It's working fine now... The only thing is that the person whom I bought the phone from told me I had to call Cingular and give them a number on the box (also inside the phone), some type of serial number... Do I need to do this if my phone is working fine or will it stop working in the future if I don't call them? Thanks, Babs Absolutely not. I do this all the time. >I decided to just go and buy my own phone and not go through Cingular... > It's working fine now...

If they really want to they can tell which handset you are using from the handset's broadcasting the IMEI when you make calls, but that's it. You can switch handsets 20 times a day and it won't make one wit of difference to cingular. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Technically, if you bought the Nokia 6340i or Sony Ericsson T62U (a GAIT phone) and want to use the GAIT capabilities (TDMA & Analog), you would have to call Cingular to give them the IMEI number. If you don't call it in, then you can only use the GSM signal. If you bought a GSM phone, then no, you would not have to call in to Cingular. >>I decided to just go and buy my own phone and not go through Cingular... >>It's working fine now...

Well, they didn't say they were going to use a GAIT phone now did they? :) >>>I decided to just go and buy my own phone and not go through Cingular... >>>It's working fine now...

Babs > Poor me, I don't even know what that is! > Babs GAIT = GSM + more coverage - camera - flip - color -pda ect , next time you see someone using their phone and your's says no service ask them what they are using.

Ah, yes, I saw reference to a PDA and phone combo on a website... I'll have to check into it... Are these GAIT phones worth it though? I've had my m515 for a few years now, will the PDA phone combo last as long do you think?

I have a bag of phones most of the time they all work, a few times none work. The GAIT Cingular phone and the Verizon with amps backup work the best off road. |
