Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / September 2003Look what happens!!
I go to L.A. for a few days, I come back and lookie here! My T62u is pulling 4 bars of beautiful GSM signal in my apartment in Houston. Gotta love that 800 MHz GSM signal, it's so not flaky like the 1900 MHz signals (here in Houston/Spring)... Now off to Cingular Monday morning and get that GPRS activated. Shouldn't be painful... :) Gotta love what? My T-Mobile phone works in my house and my moms Cingular shows "cingular" in the front of the house and nothing anywhere else. Still nothing other than ATT/T-Mobile on 225 in Pasadena, She has a Nokia 6200. It comes on and off. :( > I go to L.A. for a few days, I come back and lookie here!

Have they officially turned GSM on in Houston--they haven't in Dallas yet. On my old TDMA plan if the phone lost the Cingular signal it would switch to ATT but I couldn't place a call. On the GAIT plan I've had the 6340i lose a Cingular TDMA signal a few times (especially in the the local Home Depot) -- in every case the phone switched to Voicestream GSM -- BUT calls still worked -- incoming and outgoing. I'm on the Texas- wide plan but I'm going to be carefully looking at this months detail billing to make sure they don't try to slip roaming charges in. The fact that the phone finds VS GSM instead of Cingular AMPS does answer the question I had about where AMPS is in the search order -- LAST. The 6340i doesn't have GPRS so I won't have that option. Someone elsewhere said Wireless Internet (CSD) was no longer available once GSM went live -- only Wireless Internet Express (GPRS). I hope they're wrong.  SignatureJud Dallas TX USA AMPS is probably last in the search order because AMPS roaming the most expensive for several (if not all) carriers.

It does. >Have they officially turned >GSM on in Houston--they haven't in Dallas yet. It was supposed to have gone live statewide on 9/13. >The fact that the phone finds VS GSM instead of Cingular AMPS does >answer the question I had about where AMPS is in the search order -- >LAST. Correct. >The 6340i doesn't have GPRS so I won't have that option. Someone >elsewhere said Wireless Internet (CSD) was no longer available once GSM >went live -- only Wireless Internet Express (GPRS). I hope they're >wrong. They are right. Circuit Switched Wireless Internet (as programmed into the phone) is not working. I was unable to contact Cingular ... YET!! >>The 6340i doesn't have GPRS so I won't have that option.

I finally got hold of Cingular, and that is what they said. I still went for the GPRS, and it is pretty slow. See next post... |
