2005/12/27 [Consumer/Camera] UID:41144 Activity:nil | 12/27 I am seeking recommendations for a CDMA phone with good voice quality
and reception/transmission. I've been through a couple phones since
attempting to replace my old Kyocera 2135 and both sucked by
comparison. I don't care about camera and other bling.

2005/10/19-21 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:40194 Activity:low | 10/19 Hi I'm a cell phone idiot and I need clarification. I've been
told there are 3 major frequencies out there, 850, 1800, and 1900.
Which ones are CDMA, TDMA, and PCS? Thanks. -cell idiot
\_ those are all cdma
\_ those are all GSM too... 850/1900 in US and 900/1800 worldwide
\_ Um, ok. So inter networking-speak, the frequency is like the

2005/1/6-8 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:35582 Activity:low | 1/6 Does anyone have Cingular? Does it offer Busy Forwarding (not Call
Forwarding) services? For AT&T it's *73 and for Verizon it's *92 but
I can't seem to find this info for Cingular. Thanks for any help.
\_ generally this is controlled from the phone w/ GSM by going
into the call-forwarding setup menu and adjusting the different
classes of forward. but I discovered that T-Mobile at least

2004/10/31-11/1 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:34475 Activity:nil | 10/31 Is there a web site somewhere that reports the current cell phone
tower sites, their frequencies, strengths, etc? I have Verizon
and it works everywhere EXCEPT where I live and I'm very upset.
I want to know what signal my phone uses (tdma? cdma? gsm?) and
what kind of carriers use what signals, and what kind of towers
are around the places I go to frequently. This way I'll be

2004/3/15-16 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:12678 Activity:kinda low | 3/15 I have Verizon and have been pretty happy with the service till
recently. I no longer have signal in my apartment, and I've verified
this with other Verizon customers in the apartment. I called
them up to fix up the cell/repeater but they said they don't have
any problem in my area. What to do now?
\_ Take your number and run, boy.

2004/1/20 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:11845 Activity:low | 1/19 T-Mobile coverage in the bay area. Good? No?
\_ T-Mobile uses GSM, so they have the exact same
coverage as Cingular(SBC/PacBell), and share the same
towers.
\_ I wish SprintPCS will have same coverage as
Verizon by virtue of both of them using CDMA.

2004/1/19 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:11827 Activity:nil | 1/18 If I have an AT&T Nokia GSM phone, can I use it in Japan? If
so, I assume that if someone in Japan wanted to reach me, they
would have to call my number in the US. But, can I replace
the SIM card and get temp service in Japan so that people in
Japan can reach me?
\_ Unfortunately, Japan uses a Japan-only protocol called UMTS

2003/11/28-12/1 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:11260 Activity:nil | 11/28 Cell phone experts: I have an old phone with verizon. Somebody
recently gave me a newer CDMA phone that was also with verizon.
Can I switch my number from my old phone to the new phone by myself?
Or do I need to go to verizon (and get charged a fee possibly?) I've
been playing around with this new phone to see if there's a change
number option. I'm not good at these gadgets. Thanks.

2003/10/28 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:10822 Activity:moderate | 10/27 What's the word on mobile telephone service in Berkeley? And GSM
versus TDMA?
\_ TDMA is old. All TDMA service is being upgraded to GSM. CDMA is
technologically superior but only used in the U.S., South Korea and
to some extent, Japan. I use Verizon and my only complaint is
price

2003/9/12-14 [Consumer/CellPhone] UID:10178 Activity:nil | 9/12 What are the pros/cons of using GSM vs. TDMA phones? Thinking about
Nokia 3560 vs. 6200 vs. 3595
\_ TDMA is on the way out in this country, being replaced with GSM
Buy a GSM phone over a TDMA one every time, although it might be
nice to get a phone that does both if you can find one.
OTOH, if you mean CDMA in stead of TDMA, that's another story
