I've been a Cingular customer way back from the Cellular One days.  In most
of New England (CT, MA, RI, southern NH, and southeastern ME) the service

bands.  Will I be able to use the photo features on the Cingular network?
Thanks in advance.

When I upgraded my phone recently, the sales tax was calculated on the
"retail" value of the phone (249.99), not the actual (discounted)
price (149.99). I have never encountered this. The state only requires
tax on the transaction amount, not a fictitious "suggested" amount.

I recently got a Nokia 6340i and was curious about the GSM launch in the
Austin, TX market. If it's not officially launched (Im sure it's not),
how do i set the phone to use barred cell sites? Thanks for any tips on
this.

Does anyone happen to know if the  SONYERICSSON T316  comes unlocked by

I've heard that Verizon is the best.
From a cost standpoint, what's the best bang for the buck?  Cingular lets
