In Response to "Wo Trains Cingular CSR's Thread" Nokia 6230
The reason that the agent argued with you is because the Nokia 6230 IS actually a phone that is capable of operation on 4 BANDs (quad) the phone specs are GSM 850/1900/1800
The phone can also access 800 MHz Cellular as well,
GSM 850 is simply GSM technology operating in the Cellular (800 MHz / 850 MHz) frequency band. Both the technology and frequency band have been around for a long time, but only in 2002 were they combined. While still being seperated in come foreign countries. Which allows the phone to operate on 850 in the US and 800 in other countries. please see www.GSMWORLD.com for more deatails. . .

Okay, that was wrong. A phone must support 850 (800, same ish)/900 / 1800/...

OMG!! is this forum for kids or just uneducated CSR's?? please respond with valid answers
please you might want to study a lil more, I c why you are a CSR

Yes, I see why I am in the wireless industry also. You stated yourself that the 800/850 frequency is unified. Do you deny the existence of the 900 MHz frequency? If so, I have a nice dual-band phone you can take over to Europe and use 🙄
...
AskJack,
You are REACHING.
You don't know the real reason she said that, and all current manufacturers consider QUAD band phones to include 900 Mhz. By your logic they wouldn't be quad band, they would be pent? (5) band.

Do yourself a favor: please utilize the glossary the nice Mr Brome has provided the forum-goers with and lookup quad-band. Wait, the may be a lil too difficult for you. I got you:
Quad-Band
Designates a GSM phone that supports all four major GSM frequency bands, making it compatible with all major GSM networks worldwide.
The four bands include the 800 (AKA 850) and 1900 bands - used in the Americas - and 900/1800, used in most other parts of the world.
See, laid out all nice-like for you 😁
Remember what dad told you: when the big kids are playing, stay on the porch.

lol, you must be bored taking calls all day huh, noting accounts and doing what "we" tell you to!! please graduate from that you must be a CSR, study numbers, its doesnt take anyone on this forum to notice that 800 and 850 are two different numbers. . .. . . lol
...
BUt in the case of this, the 800 and 850 network are essentially the same... A quad band phone would have 850/900/1800/1900 or 800/900/1800/1900...
...
Please tell me where I can buy the new "pent" band phones. I hear from Jack they are awesome!

It becomes obvious that you cannot accept that you are incorrect. It is a classic neanderthaloid tactic to avoid admission of defeat by resorting to elementary insults and topic change. Alas, my mother warned me to never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man. Yes, 800 and 850 are different numbers. However, and you yourself stated this, the two are now one unified frequency. This spectrum is accessed with a single antenna and considered one band. On the other hand, the page in your Hooked on Phonics workbook listing 900 as a number must have been left out. Quad-band means that the device has 4 antennas to access the GSM network. Since 800 and 850 are unified (that means together), it requires anly one antenna. Quad means four so tha...

Na... a Chappelle approach is better.

My free time is about zero between my business (gotta rip off those customers and dump chemicals out the back) and my family. I TIVO 5 shows and am behind on those too. I guess I should squeeze in Chappelles show. I haven't had a chance to see but one or two.
...
you are an idiot and must be a stupid auth dealer .Becuase 800 and 850 is the same damn thing so get it right
...
im soo glad you laugh at your own mistakes that atleast makes you a better dumbass!

This was quite entertaining, I must say.
I love it when people can't admit they're wrong.
There are like, 5 or 6 of them on my team alone. They deserve to be punched in the face.

"GSM 850/1900/1800" = Quad Band?
Sorry Jack, but most folks will see THREE numbers. What's missing is the 900 band, which will/has been pointed out. When people talk about "800" and "850" they are really talking about the SAME band. They were not "joined" 'cause they were never seperate. We have two "bands" because of the way cellular service grew up in the US, I'm sure that Europe/Asia have similar reasons.
Salesfolk may try to confuse things, I heard one guy say that becasue a TDMA phone also did AMPS it was a "quad" band phone. Just see what bands are available in the country you are going to. You might not really need a "quad" band phone.
