cell phones

[digitaldiscipline]

okay, office shakeup seems to be taking place, including remote work environment. this means i might need a cell phone.

i do not grok the ways of wireless.

what do i look for? what do i avoid?

i figure i need voice mail and basic address book capabilities. beyond that, i want it to be relatively non-draconian in terms of costs.

yes, this means i might finally be shedding the last vestiges of my Luddite-hood.

i guess where i get confused is which phones work with which service. i can see finding a phone with the features & look i like, only to find out it's not compatible

The T-Mobile page shows what they support. Most services will support most phones.

Actually, there are a hell of a lot of phones that t-mobile's service works with that *aren't* on that page. ;)

Anything GSM that operates at 1900MHz will work. Has to take a SIM chip, which is the hallmark of GSM carriers (AT&T, Cingular, T-Mobile)

I can give you the ups, downs, ins, and outs of T-Mobile, if ya decide to go that way. Best deals and alladat.

They didn't train me for nothing, yanno. ;D
