I would strongly recomend against the v600. If your looking at something around that range go with the v505. Almost all the same stuff but so far haven't had any problems with it. V600 i've hear of people that get everything from no reception to the phone freezes up during a call.

that's a first i have to tell you. I guess he's one of the lucky ones that got a good phone. The V600 i believe has been discontinued and replaced by the v505.

Att doesn't even offer v600 anymore how is V505's reception.

Is this unlocked and can do bluetooth file transfer or no??

Since the merger with cingular will be completed soon, I am kind of leary of going to ATT

But Cingular doesn't offer a quad band phone with bluetooth and camera. Isn't most of the companies disable file transfer of bluetooth so whats the point of getting it.


Whats the best phone for ATT GSM ??
Anyway

Sorry about the misinfo. 🤭 I tried to help out by looking on the Equipment page on our intranet and it said we did not support it. My bad.

I would trust these other guys tho because they have had used it apparently thru personal experience. 🙂

I went to ATT store and the rep said there is no way that the phon will be unlocked if I buy a phone from a retail store or Amazon.com

But I also talked to Cingular rep and he said the v400 is unlocked so is there a way to find out if the phones are unlocked .

Not sure what will happen to ATT plans , service after Cingulay or I am better off with Cingular ??

The quick answer is this....we have no idea what will happen when cingualr takes over. One would assume (and you know what happens when you assume) that when cingular takes over they would get everything from aws including the unlock codes. So cingular should be able to unlock the phones, because eventually youll need to have the sim cards unlocked

Cingular won't let you activate an ATTWS phone with any of the plans offered currently. But you can keep your old ATTWS plan.

With our roaming agreements with Cingular and other companies We have a larger footprint than Verizon on our GSM America National plan. Verizon has a large footprint if you include the analog network on there system.

Why not check out the user reveiws for the Moto v505 on this very website?

Go to Phones> Motorola> then select the Moto v505 for more info from people who actually used it.

Have any questions about GSM reception in general? Tell me which market then just ask I'll pull up your market area on my coverage map on my AT&T WS Intranet.

Whatever reports I have for you it can only get better with the looming merger w/ Cingular. 🙂

Well...

It could be that Cingular plans change to become more like ATT Wireless plans. Seems nobody's considering that possibility... 😳

The V600 uses up to 4 freq...

We only use half of those in the US and the rest of the American countries. The others only come into play if you are taking your phone with you internationally.
