Least anyone forget, T-Mobile was previously Voicestream, previous to that Omnipoint - and Omnipoint was at that time the ONLY gsm provider in the states. Everyone else was either tdma or cdma. So as far as international service, omnipoint was the first to address it....

I don't even recall Cingular being around back then. And don't forget, ATT Wireless (now part of Cingular) only made the decision to switch from tmda to gsm in the last couple of years.

NOW - for some fun and games, I'm starting a separate thread that will ask the following:

1. When did you first start using a cell phone?
2. Do you remember who was your first carrier and your first clinker phone?
