GSM in italy and US
Posts: n/a use as an extra phone here. (I have Verizon for my regular phone). The phones I like are 900/1800/1900 which they tell me won't work too good on ATT/Cingular. Does this limit me to T-mobile which has less coverage or is it still a good choice. In the US it will only be an extra phone to leave in the car, lend to a visiting friend ect... Thank You Joe  Responses to "GSM in italy and US"

Posts: n/a Re: GSM in italy and US I have T-Mo in the US. I'm in California, have used it in Arizona andon the East Coast. Coverage is good in cities and major highways, spotty elsewhere. I've also used it in Greece and will be using it in Italy. I did not get a different SIM card in Greece, so using the phone was a bit expensive. But I plan to get a Vodaphone SIM card in Italy for GSM and GPRS. There's a Vodaphone store just outside security at Fiumicino airport. Shneor

Be sure that your phone has the SIM-lock removed; if not, the Italian Vodaphone SIM won't work in your phone. M.

If you get an unlocked ex-Cingular 850/1800/1900 phone (while I don't like this combination) it should work fairly well with a Wind SIM in Italy. Wind is about 95% GSM 1800 and has pretty good coverage, unless you just like wandering around the boondocks. -- Donald Newcomb DRNewcomb (at) attglobal (dot) net
