Your phone may need the java app loader unlocked. This is a SEEM edit. Go to howardforums.com and do a search. There are many threads detailing these procedures, most with pictures posted of what you should be seeing on your screen thru each step. With my v400 I had to do the SEEM edit to open up the app loader. With my V3 (razr) I can simply open up p2ktools and load them thru there easily with no "hacking" ...

Nokia codes are very easy to acquire. Do a search on howardforums.com and you may be directed to the site or even the code generating program itself. Motorola phones generally need a cable and the right program to unlock them. There are many unlocking services available on ebay and other sites.

You MUST have the 850 band for your phone to work off of Cell One GSM. This is what they primarily use, as well as Cingular(their roaming partner).

A woman comes up with an old old nokia that won't hold a charge anymore. I tell her she may be better off getting a new phone. she refuses says she hates our company and is cancelling. Then she asks to use our phone to call her daughter long distance(!) since she cant use her cell. I decline and say no, we will be charged for it. Then she asks to use my personal cell phone! I have a ...

Cell One doesn't lock any features from any gsm phone. They sell it exactly as you would see it straight from the manufacturer. They don't add or remove any software. The phones themselves are unlocked. I have used a usb cable for 18 months now on my ol' V400 with no issues, and also a Bluetooth dongle for my 6230. Again, no problems.

Yeah they are terrible about updating it.. I've had it in store since August 24. Only sold a few, though. Not a bad deal, $200, get a $50 m-i-r, and we pack in a hs815(?)bt headset in the box.

The model is the 6102, however I haven't been able to get a set date from anyone, even our nokia rep. She did estimate november as a release time.

Re: little dot on the bakc of the batteries

If the pink stripe bleeds out into the white area, it has come into contact with moisture, like on some nokia batteries. With most motorolas, the have a white dot behind the battery, usually on the area above the sim card slot (gsm only). When the dot contacts water, it turns bright red. On most moto's there is also a dot on the actual circuit board.

www.celloneusa.com, for a zip code put in something like 16038, to get into plans. then, national plans and then coverage maps(i think.) it's been a while since i've been on the site.

Im my area Cingular uses Dobson towers almost exclusively, and yes, makes it appear as if it were their own. Dobson often makes maps and flyers saying extended area for serivce letting you know its either t-mobile or cingular coverage.

up for purchase would be the cellular one name in that market i think, NOT the actual company. The company itself, Dobson, does OK with GSM, they roam off of any t-mobile tower and most cingular/att (where roaming agreements apply.) If you check out a coverage map, it is nearly identical to a t-mobile one and a cingular one combined.

in the Rumor Mill forum

Currently there are no plans known for anyone to purchase cell one. General Management for the Northeast has confirmed this with me. I wouldn't mind seeing Cingular buy cell one, seeing as we already use their towers nationally along with t-mobile towers. I have heard of the MD call center shutting down, what a shame. I always had a pleasant experience when calling there. Eevryone was very well informed of policies and procedures. I cannot say as much for ...
