yes it will... all that means is there is no 850 mhz towers in your area... ensure you reset it back to autoscan

I am Juan from the philippines and in the next few months me and my family will be migrating to manitoba, canada. In the course of my preparation, I bought myself an SE T226 (800/1900MHz) however this is locked to AT&T and I don't know if there is AT&T in Manitoba.
Could you please help me unlock it? Could you give me the unlock codes for T226 (AT&T)? You could send it at Quasimodo70@yahoo.com
I have already entered the service menu, then I went to the Service Info. From the Service Info, I proceeded to the SIM Lock. It goes like this:
>*<<*<*
- Service Menu
- Service Info
- SIM Lock
- Network "unlock"5
- Network Subset "unlock"5
- Service Provider "unlock"5
- Corporate "unlock"5
Note: The "unlock" is an icon of an opened padlock
Now, from the description of the items on the SIM Lock does this mean that my cellphone is unlock to any service providers?
THanks in advance

Hope the ATT Wireless rep is "still in the house" Question: I need to go to Ocean City Maryland in May 2005 and October 2005. I have ATT Wireless TDMA type service, and a Nokia 5160 phone (it's been great). How is the ATT Wireless TDMA reception on the eastern shore? Will I be OK? I'm not ready to switch to GSM yet. Thanks, pde.

(sorry for the cross-post -- got mixed up)
Hello -
My company is w/ AT&T, migrating to GSM and Cingular. The phone I want is Samsung P777, which works with Cingular, but as far as I can tell has no way to get images off of it and to a Mac (supplied sw is Windows only, and the phone as no BT). Switching to the European counterpart, the D500, it has BT so image transfer would work. But, it is listed as 900/1800/1900 as opposed to 800/1800/1900. In the Silicon Valley area of CA, is there a way to find out what frequencies Cingular uses (e.g., is 1900 enough, or will I lose quality or range because I don't have 800/850 on the phone?)? The T-Mobile rep said I could use their phones with Cingular, but I see the same issue -- theirs are 900/1800/1900, and Cingular's are all 800/1800/1900. What do I lose by having a phone without the 800/850 band?
Thanks!
-Ben

I signed up for ATT gsm, last may and purchased the NEC 525. Phone is great but I want a new one. WHen I purchased the phone there were big posters everywhere that stated every year ATT custimers were eligible for new equipment(I think it was a $75 credit towardfs the purchase of a new phone.
So I called ATT(now Cingular) and tell them I would like to upgrade my phone using the Att credit, they say they have never heard of this special before and will not acknowledge it. Does anyone else remember this, and if so how can I prove it to Cingular? Maybe a web reference?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Thanks for the link -- it's really interesting. So now I realize that for the GSM part running at 1900, either a 800/1800/1900 phone or a 900/1800/1900 phone will be the same since I'm using 1900 anyway for Cingular. But, with At&T/Cingular in Northern CA, don't I sometimes end up using 800? I don't currently have a GSM phone (still an older TDMA), so I have no way to predict this. Are there maps showing where this would happen? If I lose the 800 capability, how much (and where) will my signal be degraded or gone entirely?

you dont lose a whole lot... att/cingular is currently switching to 1900 mhz only...currently they are 850 and 1900in most markets...most phones are dual band anyway... there are some that are 1900 only
if you wanna be safe... go with a motorola... V180 , 220 and 551 do 850/900/1800/1900
for the device specific question here is a link for the user guide for the p777

When I recieve a call on my cell phone Mot v551, I get a lot of buzzing and static on my landline during the ring and/or the call itself. Is there a way to avoid this? I recently switched from Verizon and this never happened with their CDMA2000 service. PLease let me know becasue this is VERY annoying and almost unbearable.

I'll bet that your landline phone is a cordless...its called RF spillover or burn-thru... the reciever on the cordless is within the bandpass or a harmonic/sub-harmonic of the 850 or 1900 mhz signal that your phone operates on...if you power the pohne on you will be able to hear it register in as well.... this phenomena is common on speaker phones as well...
