Im with tmobile, but my phone says Cingular sometimes?
So I'm sitting in my room with my cell phone. (Nokia 6682) And I lose TMobile service. Then My phone says "Cingular" in place of "T-Mobile".
Is it roaming into Cingular's network?
Can I make this stay on Cingular's Network?
Will this happen everytime I lose service with tmobile and Cingular has service where I'm at?
Will this cost extra for this "roaming"? (I don't think it will though.)
Since most of my friends have Cingular, will it cost them if I call them while my phone displays "Cingular", or will it count as M2M to them?
Please help me understand.
Thanks!

My phone used to do that too. T-Mobile's number one roaming partner is Cingular so when T-Mobile can't give you service, then you usually roam on Cingular's network. It costs you nothing at all. T-Mobile does not charge extra for roaming.
As far as I know you will not be counted as Mobile to Mobile when you call Cingular customers. Cingular's network deciphers between thier networks and when a user is roaming from another network.
I don't think there is a way to make your phone stay on Cingular's network, unless you were in an area that you are sure was an area where you would always be roaming on Cingular's network.

Where are you located? If you are located in California, or Nevada, T-Mobile has roaming agreements with Cingular there. Also, Cingular had a agreement in California with Cingular that they could use Cingular's towers, while Cingular switched all of their own customer to the old AT&T wireless towers, since Cingular bought AT&T wireless. Cingular's towers that they had before they bought AT&T wireless, are now going to be used and owned by T-Mobile.

Since T-mob doesn't charge roaming does this mean I can basically sign up with T-mob and use Cingular and get the vast coverage?
Please advise. This could be a potential breakthrough for me to join T-mob again.
I am in Virginia. I want GSM again and coverage. I don't want to deal with Cingular customer service but I want their coverage 😈

Thanks again!
I am glad I am talking to someone with experience.
Just looked at the coverage link. Wish Northern VA is greener.

i am just concerned how it will do inside buildings. i see alot of spots with mid to low coverage.

If you don't have T-Mobile service yet, you can sign up and try it for 14 days, to see if you have coverage in locations where you travel.

What about the deadspots within the native coverage?
Roaming is not nor has it ever been a substitute for local poor coverage. As has been stated several times no roaming agreement = no roaming.

If you want cingular coverage you're going to have to sign up with cingular. The only time you can possibly use cingular and be a T-Mobile customer is if T-Mobile has no native network *and* T-Mobile has a roaming agreement with cingular in that particular area. If there's no roaming agreement it ain' gonna happen. If you want the de...

If you want a frikkin' private conversation you should send a private message. This is a public forum. If you don't like that setup find another forum. Pretty simple, eh?

Listen you, I said he was talking to me, since he quoted me. Calm yourself down.

No, *you* calm down. If you don't like comments in a public forum don't post your "conversations" in public. Even someone with diminished mental capacities can normally grasp this concept.

Put your face to the monitor....."SMACK". Now, did that feel good. 🤣

I think that littlefuzzbear is right. IF you wanted your conversation to be private, then send him/her a PM. It's simple. There's no point in getting heated over something so stupid. I just think your way too immature. if you want to start ****, then

You mind as well just get cingular, instead of having your phone roaming on it all the time, and because most of your friends have cingular, you can take advantage of m2m with them, where are you located

You just don't get it do you? In California and Nevada you can be a T-Mobile subscriber and your phone may still say cingular on it.

sry if what i said really upsetted you, even thought i dont expect something small to really upset someone, all i made was a suggestion, it would make sense to get cingular because he knows more cingular people plus their rf is stronger in his area, if he had cingular and was roaming on tmobile i would suggest he would move to tmo, im not any of these zealots who defend their network to the death,
SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
