Welcome all to WA!

compumat347 · 08-04-2005, 12:04 AM

Hi, I'm a new member and I stumbled on this site on one of my late-night internet escapades. I am a journalist and I'm interested in cell phones, I'm a prepaid nut and don't like the commitment of a contract. I have a Motorola c650, which I hope to not lose, as I usually do wiht my phones, but hey, what's money?

The salesman had no trouble changing an ordinary 64K SIM into a GAIT SIM, and updated my ESN and IMEI on file to work with it. I think I paid $18 for the replacement SIM. I have confirmed TDMA operation with the new SIM.

COtech, I realize that the above post was made awhile back, but whose TDMA do u use in ur area??

Cingular's. Only when GSM fades out, by my movement, will the Nokia 6340i start a hunt for any signal. I generally don't see the fade, with the phone on my belt. I can see that TDMA is active, instead of the GSM when I last looked. If the 6340i finds GSM again before switching to TDMA, I won't know of a fade out.

I think the only major carrier that still uses TDMA is nextel, I'm probably wrong though.

paco · 08-05-2005, 2:37 AM

Hello!
OK Post how?
Post where?
"The message is too short!"
I don't think this is going to be useful for me as it is totally un intuitive.
Cute icons though!

Nextel uses a proprietary format called iDen. The TDMA carriers, Cingular and AT&T Wireless, converted to GSM although they are still operating their TDMA networks. Cingular reported that 95% of their traffic is now on their GSM network.

compumat347 · 08-05-2005, 2:08 PM

doesnt iden allow nextel to access both gsm and cdma features?

Nextel phones cannot use CDMA at all. Nextel phones with a SIM card holder will allow them to use GSM overseas, but that's not related to iden.

Really? I tried my mom's Motorola i830 here in Germany and it didn't work. The only Nextel handset that I know of with GSM was the i2000 which had iDEN 800/GSM 900.l

I think you're right- I have no idea how many phones Nextel sells with a SIM holder. It could be just one.

ShoresGuy · 08-05-2005, 8:05 PM

My mom's i830 has a SIM card holder and I tried putting it in my Motorola V525. It wouldn't connect to any German GSM provider but it displayed Nextel in the top left corner of the screen. I also had a phonebook entry called Nextel Contacts but it couldn't be accessed by the V525.

Welcome to Wireless Advisor

There are quite a few threads about leaving Suncom in the Southern U.S. Forums if you'd like to take a look.

For example:

Hope this helps!

Hello, new here but willing to give it a go. I was looking for information on the lg6100 cell phone, opinions and such. I have it and there are some things about this phone I really don't like. It won't stay closed and I'm looking to find another camera phone. Any suggestions?? thanks

Hi grumpygirl, welcome to WA.

You may want to post your question on the LG forum or the Verizon forum, you will get more responses in those. As far as another camera phone, I have the LG 7000 which has performed very well for me.

Hope this helps.

Hello, Grumpy!!!

I have the 6100, & I never had that issue, fortunately. I say the Treo 650 is sweet, but I may be a bit biased as my lovefest w/ my T650 is in full-swing!!!

Which does what exactly?

GarryDL · 08-17-2005, 10:17 AM

Hello,

I want to use a wireless line as my main business line. What this means is that the phone number needs to appear in the business phone directory. Getting into the yellow pages seems to be a matter of paying for an ad. Where on this site should I post my question? I have done a search using directory listing phonebook.

Garry

ShoresGuy · 08-17-2005, 1:14 PM

Hi Garry and welcome to WA,

Put it either in the General Wireless Discussion or in the Southern U.S. forum.
