Puerto Rico Blue TDMA
Hi All,
Going on a biz trip to San Juan in March. I'm on a grandfathered Cingular Blue National plan. In checking if my trusty 6360 will work in San Juan I came across this on the Cingular PR website.

Cingular is always updating its Network to continue offering the best calling experience to our customers.

To continue using your Cingular number with the new GSM technology it is necessary that you change your phone to a GSM capable handset (with the Cingular Smartchip) before January 10, 2006.

honestly, it would cost about the same to purchase a new phone with cingular. year within the next year or so you will see your coverage dwindle to next to nothing. tdma is long over due for phase out... i would recommend just getting a new phone, everywhere there was tdma coverage there is better gsm coverage now... it would most likely be to your benefit...

My current plan is light years better than anything they offer for GSM with all the extras I have accumulated over the years.
I have two years left, and as of now, they can pry my TDMA phone from my cold......
Eventually I will go GSM, if they ever add decent service in Southwest Wisconsin where I have several clients.

Dude, TDMA is dead. ..And how can you have two years left on a TDMA contract when they refused new activations on that crappy betwork over a year ago? Something does not sound right here...

You will find towers there but you will find roaming fees as well, see i have put customers on thise national plan before GSM was at ATTWS, those plans are national network network so no roaming on the att(former attws) network so even in the USA if you are off network you get billed depending on how long you had it either $0.69 a min or $0.79 a minutes roaming airtime and either $0.15 a minute or $0.20 a minute roaming long distance.
You can use the phone there, but you will get billed off network roaming fees there, and please don't say you looked at the map and you are covered, if you are looking online and thats the GSM cingular plans, not your legacy plan.You will get billed and heck you might even call in and get a partial credit, b...
