I just signed up with Cingular (via SBC, great deal - 20% off my monthly
rate and they knock an additional $20 off my DSL service thru SBC) and I
just received the Sony Ericsson T316 today. I had been using T-Mobile which
is also GSM, so I switched the SIM cards between the phones.

The T-Mobile phone complained about the SIM card and wouldn't work. But much
to my surprise - the Cingular phone came up as T-Mobile and I was able to
call my home phone. The caller-id showed the T-Mobile number.

Is it possible that the new-in-box T316 phone I got from Cingular is
unlocked? Anyone care to speculate?

"The Democratic Party is the party of this popular corruption. The heart of
the Democratic Party and its activist core is made up of government unions,
government dependent professions (teachers, social workers, civil servants);
special interest and special benefits groups (abortion rights, is a good
example) that feed off the government trough; and ethnic constituencies,
African Americans being the most prominent, who are disproportionately
invested in government jobs and in programs that government provides. The
Democratic Party credo is 'Take as much of the people's money as politically
feasible, and use that money to buy as many of the people's votes as
possible'. Tax cuts are a threat to this Democratic agenda. Consequently,
Democrats loathe and despise them." -Semi-reformed Leftist David Horowitz
