If you have a compatible phone, Cingular will allow you to choose a plan (last
I knew it was the same as any current plan, less the mobile-to-mobile) WITHOUT
a contract. However, just because a phone has the "Cingular" name on it, that
doesn't mean it can be activated. Cingular is "migrating" from TDMA to GSM.
Because there are many TDMA handsets with the Cingular name on them, it can be
misleading. The same is true if you have a Verizon branded phone that does
not have 1900 mHz band, they will not activate it.
What model phone do you have?
