Tmobile from my use uses the 775 ( 199 dollars)

Now tmobile supports 1800mhz 850mhz the two primary gsm freq. I have
the 775 which will work anywhere in the world and tmobile did not
provider lock it. I used it ATTWS ( where a friends card died out on
him.)

Now Tmobile funny I gotten great service from them but there coverage
rules are wierd. It cant roam at all phone or data on cingular or
attws here in florida but When i was out in vegas and out in
califronia tmobile allows data and phone traffice through cingular and
attws GSM towers. Why because of the lack of towers out west. and
they did not charge me roaming. But that is out there in the west
where tmobile allows partner roaming.
