I am thinking of going with Cingular or another GSM provider due to the fact
they have the latest phones with blue tooth built in.
Looking at SE T616 or Siemens s56 to connect to an IPAQ 2215 and an Acer
TM800 notebook via blue tooth.

This statement is now on the new description of Nation plans ...
"Nation plans are not compatible with the Nokia 6340i or Sony Ericsson
T62u"
What's up with this??

I was wondering if Cingular's GSM coverage in Boston is GSM or do they have
a roaming agreement with another company there?  Also, if you get the
National plans, do they have sufficient roaming agreements to make their GSM
a feasible alternative to a CDMA plan like Verizon's AC ...

I called cingular today and they told me that if i stick with them, in 2
months they will be rolling out some new nationwide no roaming plan. (I am
in philadelphia).
I asked them is this plan only for the new network they are building or does

I like the form-factor of this PalmOS phone, and I am wondering
if I can use it on the Cingular network.  If I bought one of them,
   1) Would it take my current phone's SIM chip?
   2) If it accepts SIM chips (or even if it doesn't), will it

I have a 1261. I only had it since March 2003 and it crapped out on me.
Tried to replace under warranty but all local stores are sold out of these
phones.  I replaced it with a 3560 which cost me $130.  Is it normal for a
Nokia to just crap out like that?  The phone started dropping ...

Anyone using Cingular in columbus ohio happy with the coverage? Does the
National plan cover all of ohio without any roaming fees?

My 8000 series Nokia w/Cingular shorted out.  I planned to replace with
a similar phone.  I'm now totally confused.  I liked the size of my old
phone and was relatively pleased w/reception.  I now purchased a 6590i
and have much worse reception.  Cingular tells me it is due to the ...

Here is a dumb question and I hope everyone here enjoys such things:
I have the true nation, 500/3500, with 100 text messages and internet connect
for a measly $49 per month (I know, but someone at cingular gave me the
messages for free and the internet connect as well for the phone ...

Tuesday Cingular came out with a new nation plan using a Sony62 or Nokia 6340i.
Question will the 6340i display indicate what Carrier you are on as you roam.

Technical question.
For those who respond to my questions about the True Nation yesterday, thanks,
and I did upgradde to the GAIT phone -- so far it's OK, and I noticed that the
t62u is snappier than the t61 but the call quality even in GSM is about the

I was wondering if anyone has experience with Cingular's GSM service in
southeastern michigan.  I have heard that the call drop rate is quite a
bit larger than with their TDMA service.   I am excited about the
Samsung s307 phone, but am wary about the GSM service.   Any

Today I was  comparing Cingular and T-Mobile Plans and noticed that
T-Mobile showed a great deal of the US in the color for no coverage.
When I called them the customer service rep said if I was in an area
where T-Mobile had no coverage, I could just link on to a Cingular tower

The Cingular GSM/GPRS dual band handheld Preffered Nation map looks pretty
sparse but I was told that contracts were in place to provide GMS/GPRS
coverage accross the nation by using other carrier systems.
I would appreciate comments from non GAIT phone users on actual coverage

I have been thinking about taking Cingular wireless service. I have
done some research on the net (including this group). I understand
that Verizon happens to be the most reliable of all followed by others
like Sprint, T Mobile, Nextel and some where down the list is Cingular
