Anyone of those phones would be nice, but Cingular AND T-Mobile websites had NONE of the perspective phones from those sites. |
Scott those phones are all European market phones. The problem is two fold.
1. Due to total dumb ass idiots. That think you can get brain cancer from their cell phones, kicking and screaming about it. The FCC mandated a wattage output rating of 3.1 Watts( yes the folks at the FCC are totally un scientific dumb asses, they are regulators nothing more than bureaucrats) . Any cell phone capable of broadcasting a higher amount of radio frequency wattage is not allowed into the U.S.
2. Unlike the rest of the world your cell phones are tethered to the provider. Again this is because the providers kicked and whined to the FCC that if the phones were not regulated i.e. tied to the so called struggling providers( in the providers language) they would lose money.
You can buy a European phone and use it on a provider like any GSM phone on a GSM carrier. Though if you have a my faves plan with Tmobile . Like I do. You need a phone that has the My Faves software in it, which is an exclusive to T Mobile. By the way My Faves is pretty damn good . It gives you 5 numbers on any network that you call free unlimited calling long distance or local. This is on top of the regular minutes.
T Mobile also does have unlimited mobile to mobile ala carte for either 6.99 or 9.99 a month.
I have had Cingular aka the New ATT and their customer service bites ass . I used to sell them in fact. My Dad had Verizon, its overated. It still drops calls and like all other networks has its issues. The only thing Verizon has is a large outdated analog network in rural areas that its phones fall back on when there is no digital. I remind you this is only in rural areas. So Verizon is really not as great as their commercials claims but then again all the providers are not as good as their commercials .
I have had T mobile for the last 5 years its been good enough for me not to switch. Ya I want a Iphone lol . I am a tech geek. Though I really would not want to go back to Cingular.
