thanks in advance!

plus, you definitely CAN have GAIT phones on GSM plans.
if i were you id just get a Nokia 6010 it will give the same reception, because if gsm isnt working in your house analog wont be any better. buy it and try for their 30 days.

I believe I read somewhere in the Cingular forum here that they recently included the GAIT phones into the GSM plans. I might be wrong.
you are wrong, when cingular bought out attws, they immediately expired a.k.a, got rid of all Gait plans, the gait phone is only goos if you had a gait plan, otherwise the phone won't get tdma signal.Kinda like trying to play a DVD in a V.C.R.

You are wrong. When Cingular purchaesd AT&T, they retired the GAIT Nation plans and allowed the GSM plans to add the GTI01 and other GAIT SOCs to add the GAIT feature to a GSM plan. You can add the GAIT phone and enjoy its benefits all while having a GSM Nation plan ...

You can just swap the sim card out however you will still only be picking up the GSM towers until the ESN is added to your acct.
- Tip - Hit *#06# on your cell phone and it will give you the IMEI number and the ESN number if it is a GAIT phone without taking the battery out.
If you want better signal at your home,either
1. Get a broadband phone, its cheaper and guaranteed to get signal (if you cant get broadband, you are stretching to expect cell coverage at your house), or
2. sell your house and buy one where it would make sense to put a tower (e.g. more customers than just you within range of the tower?)
TDMA WILL BE SHUT OFF YOU MUST MOVE TO SOMETHING NEWER
