Hi group,
I'm trying to set my girlfriend up with a cell phone in the US. I'm from the
UK and know that what I'm going to ask about the US situation can be done in
the UK.

I've built a website (for graduation; no shameless self-promotion
here) for sending text messages (via e-mail) to cell phones...
...however, I haven't been able to find out e-mail addresses for:
- Metro PCS

Can anybody shed light on the following questions(may be very basic) ?
1.
Why WLL always talked with the CDMA technology ? How are they closely
associated/related ?

I'm trying to understand and use the Debug menu on a Audiovox 9500.
Below is page one while making a cdma call. "Values" are variable.
The vocoder settings changed the display.

I don't know if anyone else has had a problem with this, but I have been
getting email after email trying to fool me into opening and executing
malicious code under the guise of being patches from Microsoft. Seeing

Hey all.  I'm finally looking into replacing my traditional SWBell phone
line, now that cellular prices are finally approaching what I already pay.
Primarily, I've been doing research on cell phones, ultimately determining
that they aren't quite as far along as I'd hoped.  Recently, ...

I have never had so much heming and hawing as I did today. The new 10-point

companies. Point two says they will "provide coverage maps, illustrating
where service is generally available." Voluntary best practices ...

Will a tri-band GSM cell phone 900/1800/1900 work on a 800/850 MHz

I was mucking around with a Motorola 120e, trying to look deeper into
its technical aspects. I did this by going into the programming menu by

Mode". The phone then successfully went into test mode (btw, the GPS

I am looking for a cell phone case that does not have a swivel clip or a
belt clip.. I just want something that would go over the phone.. I have a
Siemens S56 I was wondering if there is such a product out there..
Thanks,

I was wondering if there was anyway to have that particular model
phone re-programmed, because alltell has a much better pre-paid
service than tracfone, and i was hoping that maybe anyone knows if it
can be re-programmed to be used for that service.

I have an old Samsung SCH-1000 that I want to give to a friend to leave in his
glovebox just to call 911 in an emergency.  Could someone tell me how to clear
out my phone number from the phone so that if someone breaks into his car they
won't get my phone number along with my old ...

Where can I find a list of frequencies and where different ones are
supported or used?

New to this group, thought I would say hi first.
Anyone hear anything about Teledesic lately? For those that don't know,
this company (mostly supported by partnerships with Microsoft and
Motorola) is working on implementing a global wireless high-speed
