I have been using a Siemens S56 (really miss the old 46), but have had
friends report problems with my phone dialing them at night... so...
shopping for a new phone, I see phones listed as dual and quad bands.
What do I need to consider when shopping? As I see most of the
companies have upgraded their phone book to multi-numbers, that Siemens
featuer is no longer as important. Cheap and robust is. I don't do
SMS... may be going overseas next year...
Thanks All in advance,

Ron

even with that site it can be a pain. so many people complain about
every phone.
but usualy if the overall raiting has been good then I have had no
problems. tough I got a nokia 3300 and it wa raited great both had
some chrashing issues.
just got a sony t616 because it was raited well.
