I just drove from San Francisco to San Diego and back, and I definitely got the "SOS Calls Only" message a few times. Usually, this was fixed by turning off the phone and turning it back on again (I didn't know about 1-send).

@delta , what area code are you from? if you're close to the 818 area, AT&T is doing some MAD testin on their towers. if cingular receives the signaL, u'll roam on it. if it's set to use only one network [ie, CINGULAR] it will display SOS calls only specially if the other carrier's signaL is stronger. it used to display ' no network ' but since there are upgrades being done right now, 'sos calls only' is likely to be displayed.

this is not guaranteed, i just wanna teLL people that are currently experiencing this problem not to get worried. again, signal request will solve this issue [#1+send]

#1 + send = signal request.

you're gettin 'SOS CALLS only' because you're roaming on AT&T and as of today, cingular still does not have a roaming agreement with at&t. hardshocking is not really advisable unless u need it.

hardshocking = while the phone is on, remove the battery, wait for 10 seconds then put it back.

on/off at all times definitely waste ur battery.

there's a rumor that cingular MIGHT start charging incoming SMS starting september 15, 2002.

some people from cingular said that SMS will stay as is. prior to september 15, all those postpaid plans with SMS will continue to receive free incoming sms.

i hope this is true.

people with unlimited sms, u know how lucky u are. LOL

I'm switching to T-Mobile. These rates are a hell of a lot better than Cingulars.

Cingular wouldn't even try to match T-Mobiles rates for me, so they can go to hell

maybe you're asking for too much. oh well, with the millions of costumers, you're definitely not a loss. you're just a gain for voicestream. =]

FTC ruLe effective august 12, 2002

incase costumers request for a pcs mobiLe number change, the system will give a maximum of 2 choices. take it or leave it.

" that's fun! ...let's do it again? can we? ''

peace.
