Atlanta 1900 mhz?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)

I lost my phone to a washing machine accident and just bought a phone
off ebay with out checking this... the phone is tri-mode 900/1800/1900.
Will this phone work in the Atl or did I buy a pretty brick?

If your intention is to use it on cingular yes. You could use it on
both AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile as they are 1900 Mhz in ATL.

You can safely use your new phone without fear of reprisals from Cingular.
Cingular has plenty of customers with 900-1800-1900 phones. Cingular has
roaming agreements with 1900MHz carriers even in your home area to
accommodate such customers. For a long time until recently I used a
European tri-band like yours (the superb SE R520m) with a GAIT SIM in it
with no adverse consequnces. This was in Cingular's Michigan market
(800MHz). Go ahead, use your new phone and don't worry.

Could the phone be defective?
