thanks allen that is great wooohooooo coverage that is needed I am sure hehehe

Cingular sold me a Nokia 6340I telling me at the time that it was thier only phone that worked in Europe. Got to Europe and it did not work! They refused to swap phones with me and were very unapologetic. I will never trust them again.

The GAIT phone is 5 networks, yes, but all 5 are US/NA networks. No offense, but you should know the neworks you are trying to use before you go. Also a big thing is did you talk to a Cingular Customer Service/Sales (telephone rep), a rep at a Cingular retail store, or a Cingular authorized dealer. All are different. I have a Cingular Authorized store. I own the store, I can tell anyone pure bs to make a sale. Telephone reps work the same way they do for anything else, there are different levels...each knowing more than the lower levels. which leaves us the Cingular retail store which is owned and operated by Cingular. They normally are higher level reps, and must conform to the Cingular way.

BTW most stores you go to are "Authorized" not Retail

but should gsm work in europe anyways?

GAIT phones have the GSM coverage along with 4 other networks including analog and digital, and whatever they use at t-mobile that makes them so sorry, which i don't think is gsm.

Or, said slightly differently, your GAIT phone will provide you

850 AMPS (Analog)
850 TDMA
850 GSM
1900 TDMA
1900 GSM

I would suggest looking at www.gsmworld.com to check the providers by country, and the frequencies they operate on. As the last post indicated, outside the Americas (North and South), there is very limited deployment on the 850 and 1900 frequencies. Most fo the rest of the world is at 900 and 1800.

This is where you get triband GSM (usually 900/1800/1900 or 850/1800/1900) and quad band (moto's, blackberries, treo, a couple others), but I haven't seen a tri- or quad-band GAIT device. Now that the US GSM coverage has made great strides in catching up, I believe Cingular has stopped selling (at least advertising) the GAIT phones.

I sorta noticed that i .... i dunno... I sorta think that the reception of Cingular would have been better without AT&T.

Does anyone know if Cingular Sim cards Register with AT&T service set phones?? that would be a cool feature.

I dunno...I woulda liked it if Cingular stayed Independent..

but i do guess that 2 gsm Satellites in the sky are better than one i suppose.

I Just got a phone on cingular's moble to moble prepaid plan. It is a Sony Ericsson t62u. I wanted the prepaid plan as I plan to use the phone very little. The problem is, I live in south cent. Mississippi and I am getting verry poor coverage. Did they sell me the wrong phone? The sales agent showed me a map of coverage in Mississippi and I am not getting anywhere near the stated coverage the sales person said I would get. My zip code is 39474.
Will a outside mobile antenna help, at least in my car? I get two bars of signal at my house and at a lot of places I go, but aparently that is not enough to make a call. It is enough to get charged for a call, but i cant actually talk to someone. If I install a mobile outside antenna on my car, will this help enough to make a good call? I sent a email to Sony Ericsson tech service and they said they could not comment on the effectiveness of any moblile antennas as they did not make them.
Also I was thinking of even purchasing one of those mobile repeater amps and antennas. They cost big bucks, but will they make a big difference.

thanks

the t62u sucks...if you are still within your 30 days exhange it for a nokia.
