Cingular Reception question in DFW. Using an SE W850i phone.
Hi,
Does anyone have experience using cingular network in Dallas and DFW specifically?
I use cingular and I don't get reception in the airport but do in the car rental hub. I'm also wondering if its anything to do with the phone I put the SIM card in. My wife bought be a Sony Erricson W850i for the holidays and I put the sim card in it. In many places in Dallas I get a message of no reception and 'emergency calls only'.
I'd be glad to hear any feedback.
Thanks, Craig

Since the 850i works on the 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz bands and AT&T's network is mainly 850 MHz (1900 MHz coverage only in certain spots), that phone is unlikely to work well on the AT&T network.
