With AT&T or T-Mobile or Cingular?

I bought this phone on a lark and I think I got a good price. Hopefully it works with T-Mobile or I will be putting it on eBay.

phone $125.00 (priority shipping, insurance, tracking included)

unlock code ($18.00)

Full clamshell leather case $10.00

U.S. AC Wall power adapter (from an NEC 525 they use the same adapter) $7.00 shipped

Total invested: $160.00 U.S. Dollars.

Sorry this phone doesn't work in N.A. It's only UMTS 2100, and 900/1800 GSM. N.A. frequencies are 850/1900 GSM.

Time for eBay.

Most U.S. GSM phones and carriers are 900/1800/1900

this is cut and pasted from an eBay auction for a Motorola V60G:

Only the 1900 band will work in the U.S. of those three. 900/1800 will only work in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The Americas (Canada, U.S., Mexico, Central and South America) don't use them.
