cingular service
I have had every phone company in the last year or so. well the to I liked the best was sprint witch i have now and cingular. i had cingular would use treo 650 and it would have 5 bars then get a phone call and nothing all is gone I took it in and the said it was the sim card I tried about 3 different cars still nothing would change. was it me or have other and the trouble and help would be good.

I heard you needed to use SIMs produced by Axalto for the Treo. They have the letter "A" instead of "G"
Apparently the ones made by Gemplus produced problems (in the Treo, but not any other phones as far as is publically known).
If your Treo has been behaving 'strangely' you should check the make of your SIM card which will sport a "G" or "A" after the 5 digit SKU. If you have a "G" card (for Gemplus) and have experienced problems you should contact Cingular to get a new SIM card.

If I were you I would probabyy call their watrranty exchange department, at 800-801-1101 so that they can troubleshoot and see if an exchange is necessary. Hope this helps!

Cingular, Lowering the Bar
What can I say, I get no signal in my house or in my neighborhood and the phones suck, especially the e317. Get verizon once they get smaller phones.

Sorry buddy but no provider is perfect. I'm sure the service works for millions of other people around the country. But in your case this is where the beauty of choice comes into play. So instead of cryin and makin everyone Else's decision of what provider to pick change your maxi pad and just switch carriers. btw, you had 30 days from the moment you bought the phone to figure out it was a POS. So basically, YOUR BAD!!!

Back to the topic at hand.... yes you needed a sime card that started with "A". There was also a software issue, and they released a new version you can get from palms website.

--what does this have to do with his question? No service is going to work for everyone, thats why there are so many carriers. If your having a problem, try a diff phone, or pay your 150.00 and go see how another carrier is.. 🙄

hahahaha... that is the best/funniest thing i have ever seen on these boards.

The treos dont get good service. They are a great device for pda functions but as a phone they pretty much suck
...
depending on what model you get, the treo's are not that bad. 600 had some serious problems, but the 650 tends to be better for most customers.
...
The 650 is a really good phone, I used one for a month (I work at a cing store and we change phones often so we can try different ones out). There was a software problem, and they offer a free download from palms website.

I believe it was along the lines of the following:
He has tried multiple carriers over the past few years. He is now using Sprint and Cingular.
He uses a Treo 650 with Cingular, but has had problems with it keeping a strong signal and reading the SIM card.
