Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2004Upgrading phones on the old National plan
I have a TDMA handset on the old 250/3500 Nation plan in the Boston market. I'd like to replace the handset, but the customer service representatives insist I'd have to change plans. Which I'd prefer not to do, as the new plans are not as attractive as my plan. Has anyone else had this experience? (I'd like to get the Nokia GAIT phone.) Brian At least here, in Chicago, you can upgrade to a GAIT phone and keep your older Nation Rate plan. Mark > I have a TDMA handset on the old 250/3500 Nation plan in the Boston market.

The smucks are trying to sell you on a new plan. You do not need a new plan . Call cingular. > At least here, in Chicago, you can upgrade to a GAIT phone and keep your > older Nation Rate plan.

In the end, I ended up acquiring a refurb. TDMA phone for 50$ with no contract commitments. Guess I'll stick with TDMA until I start seeing coverage holes... Brian Those CS reps are nuts, I saw the 6340i online for $29.99 for all cities in MA, It would re-up your same nation plan for 2 more years. I did this in the Detroit market in late 2002 when they had GSM up. They sell the nation (GAIT) plan for MA, that requires a multi-network phone ie. Nokia 6340i.
