Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / December 2005Is the Cingular Salesman Giving me BS about Unlocking my old At&T Phone?
I posted this elsewere but did not get much can anyone help here?.. I am about to switch to Cingular as all my fam and friends have it. Bu I want to keep my Nokia 6800. I have seen that I can unlock my phone but the salesman said you don't want to risk it because: "when you go out of metropolitan areas the phone will look for an tower to find service, and if it finds a non-cingular tower you wil get charged roaming. You see, our locked phones are locked in such way that it does not allow the phone to use non-cingular towers. If yo unlock your old At&T phone it will be free to look for other towers an you could end up with a $500 roaming bill."

Having an unlocked phone simply means that you can put another service providers SIM in your phone. You do not need to worry, the salesperson is either a liar or uninformed. If you wish to use another service provider, then unlock the phone. He is full of BS! unlock it and go for it. http://unlock.nokiafree.org follow the insturctions.

That makes the most sence to me, I was starting to think that it wa the SIM card that tells the phone which towers to look for, not th phone itself >Austinman Wrote: >> Having an unlocked phone simply means that you can put another service >> providers SIM in your phone.
