Other GSM Networks

Posted: 08-03-2005, 08:56 PM
I have a Motorola V188 and am a new T-Mobile user.

On my phone if I go to Menu/Networks/Available Networks I see Cingular and
CBW (Cincinnati Bell Wireless) in addition to T-Mobile.

The phone gives me a choice to register on any network. What would this do,
exactly, since I am a T-Mobile customer?

Either completely fail to work, or give you high roaming rates, depending on
the roaming agreements T-Mobile has with these other carriers.

No such thing. Free roaming means free roaming on standards plans with
tmobile.

Only plan you might get roaming charges is the pretty rare regional plan
with 3000 minutes for $49.99.

But not really "free" as in no $$$.

The trouble with doing something right the first time is that no one

Free as in it doesn't cost any different to make a call in chicago with a
t-mobile signal versus making a call in moline illinois with iowa wireless.
