I am an east coast Cingular customer. I will be going to Europe this
weekend. I have a Nokia 3650 and I have International Dialing and
International Roaming on my account. What are the chances my phone
will actually work? Cingular CS said they don't know for sure but

Sort of anyway.  Came up yesterday morning (10/1) for several hours,
then the phone switched back to TDMA for rest of the day.  Guess they
had a glitch or two or three.  Back on GSM this morning.  One benefit,
the Nokia 6340i instantly "finds" GSM when you turn it on versus 30

Cingular's GSM network went down, at least here in Atlanta on Friday and
didn't come up again until Sunday afternoon.  Their customer support said it
was a nationwide network failure.  In any event, it left the phones useless
during that period.

In looking at new phones, I have to ask are there any pros or cons on
antennas?  The Siemens SL56 is an internal antenna.  The Samsung SGH-S307
has the more conventional stub antenna. Can either phone be used with a true
external antenna (magmount on top of car) if necessary for ...

Keep the V60 as most T720's will probably be GSM only.  GSM is still in its infancy and service
Primarily in large cities.  I have the T720 and I can't keep track of the times I have had to recall
a client because the signal dropped ... and when GSM drops .... you drop the call ...

I'm thinking about trading my V60T in on a T720, my question is will the
T720 work everywhere my V60 does?
I get good coverage out of the V60, but am thinking about the upgrade and
will the T720 work on the TDMA network?

With AT&T you have to go through the Extra's menu, select the AWS
server, update MIN, enter 00000, and enter your obtained MSID-MIN # from
AT&T all the manually the TDMA function of their T62U.  Until then it
will not work properly on TDMA.

unlimited MMS for $2.99/mth....then they will announce packages in
January.

what kind of perks or retention offers, if any, can I expect when my
contract expires in a few weeks?

Regarding last weekend's GSM failure- folks on GAIT and TDMA are
reporting that their phones worked just fine.  It was not messed up by
this system wide failure.  
I stand corrected.  I had ass-umed that because GAIT phones were

Both Cingular and AT&T denied having any leather holsters for this phone
so I ordered a plastic carrier from Sony Ericsson.  Problems immediately
became apparent.  Although it is designed to put so you can talk with
the cell phone in the holster this is very uncomfortable.  The top ...

Ok guys,
I had something weird happen on my phone.  I have a Nokia 6340i and a few days ago I was in Lake Charles and my phone was on Cingular Extend.  I made a couple of calls and each time I made a call it would show on the screen "Call 1".  I've never seen this before.  Anybody ...
