Deltayoda,
I have been thinking about makding the switch to Cingular. I live in Manhattan Beach but I have service on my phone from Minneapolis, MN. Should I make the change will I be giving anything up? Since I am on the road a great deal of the time VoiceStream has had good coverage in most of the areas of the world that my work take me to. I have not really looked at Cingular that is why I ask.

If you live in California you are actually using the Cingular Network(roaming w/vs), so you wont lose anything.
My friend has voicestream, she lives in new york and she cannot sent sms to me(cingular) or anywhere abroad. I think it's problems with voicestream.
I live in california, have cingular and I sms my friends in Europe all the time. Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands and England are some of the countries that I have tried. Works with no problem.
You should think about changing to cingular.
Hope this helps,
Andre

SMS is a network dependent service. some SPs allows subscribers to send SMS to other networks (in the same country or abroad) but sometimes limits them to their own networks only.
this used to be the case with our local SPs, now we can send SMS to all local SPs and to other phones abroad as well.
ask your SP for details.

Dolmsted, I think Cingular is great here in Southern California, but I also heard AT&T is better (Can’t confirm that, need to get a SIM from them).
As for Voicestream, they are having huge problems for some reason.

The only person I received a message from was Deltayoda, thanks
So dolmsted, i think you should change network, cos then you could send me messages and not get the error thing

dolmsted,
Voicestream doesnt guarantee delivery to phones not in the US. But it works most of the time. To get the status: When you start writing a message, start it with "*not#" without " " followed by your message. When you send it, it will send you a message a few seconds later telling you of the status.
