I have a HUGE Cingular bill this month due to having
to make lots of calls (job-hunting).
Is there any way I can purchase a SIM, or rent a phone,
for unlimited local calls for a month or so?

I have read up on the Nokia 6340/i and I'm not impressed.  It has a
tendency to crash when you least expect it, turns itself off (to save
power?), and the menu leaves very few extra options, from a standard
Nokia phone, other than to run a field test (providing you remember to

Okay, I have looked through slews of posts and haven't been able to
find the specific info I'm looking for (to my own surprise).
I just bought a Motorola T720 GSM phone with Cingular.  I don't have
Wireless Internet (to my knowledge) and wouldn't pay to use it if I

Does anyone know when the Washington, DC area will be unbarred?  I had
previously heard Sep 15, but that didn't happen.
Thanks

Here we go again.  Another law suit in the works, this one sponsored by
a self proclaimed California watch dog group.  False advertising of high
capacity while charging people high rates for leaving early- or so the
claim goes.  

Before I get a big bill, I thought I'd better check with you folks.
I just got a new S56 from Cingular to replace my S40. I have found it
incredibly easy to get an internet connection via bluetooth and my
dial-up ISP. However, after cruising thru the various web info

is it now possible to switch my number to gsm from tdma and still stay on cingular?
pls tell me on all you know abou this.

This seems to be new term being used by Cingular.  Some of the posts I
have seen suggest that this means Roaming.  

Hi guys.  Is there any way I can find out how long it will be before
the Cingular system in Florida is upgraded from tdma to gsm?
Currently the phone I have does not support gsm, but once gsm
is available I'd like to get a phone that supports the standard.  I've

what kind of roaming agreements does cingular have with other carriers in
new england?
thanks.

I am looking for a good family plan. Any good or bad experience with the
Cingular service in Chicago area is appreciated.

I was reading the T-mobile newsgroup and they made a significant
"discovery". Instead of calling to check minute usage, simply press #646#
send and it'll tell you your minute usage.  Supposedly works on all GSM
networks.  Anyone at Cingular want to try?

Is there a list somewhere that indicates which cities/markets are the top
100 where local number portability will exist for wireless customers?
Thanks.

I would like information regarding how to access the internet using a laptop
and a T62U phone.
I need it mainly for travel and even then it only for a short time.
I have a T62U, data cable, and software.

Does cingular have international roaming? For example i want to goto England
and want to use my phone there - what are my options? I will be there for
only a week so I don't know if going international roaming or buying a local
sim card would be better. Thanks
