Originally posted by Gin Boy Well as an update I've officially given up at least for now and will talk to Adam at GSM Phone source tomorrow. My last test was to put my Telecom Italia SIM which I know will roam onto ATTWS. It had exactly the same issue, worked on Cingular, but not on ATTWS. So I'm hoping that it's something to do with the spectrum block that ATT is using and that the phone has a fault which is stopping it working (hope always springs eternal!) As a side note the phone is really really nice. As a comparison I looked at the signal strength on Cingular when compared to my T68. When the T68 was reading 0-1 bar the S55 showed 2-3 bars. Polyphinic ring tones, very nice. External speaker for handsfree, really nice. Screen I must admit was a little dissapointing the menu bars were too big covering up an already small screen area. GPRS was markedly faster than the T68. Hopefully this is a faulty unit an Adam can replace it ASAP. |

Originally posted by shamrock LV wireless said it exactly correct....it is DEFINITELY AT&T, and not a faulty phone.....back in the day, when the S100 first came out, i had the exact same problem here in boston.....i would place calls and it would read "network failure", and when i received calls, it went straight to voicemail yet the GPRS worked fine, and Tmoblie sim card worked perfectly......back then, nobody had any clue becuz some ATT networks allowed the phone to work, and others didnt......i went thru 3 different S100's with all the same result, then i got an S100 that was flashed from 1.5 to 1.6, and all problems were solved...... ATT better get their act together....they make me want to search for another carrier.... |

Originally posted by skytrack So, if the firmware upgrade fixed the network issue on your S100, what makes you think that it was AT&T's fault? It was obviously a network compatibility issue with your S100. |

Originally posted by gsmania so are there any possible firmware upgrades for the s55 to allow it to work with at & t wireless? |

Originally posted by shamrock i dont know what you are trying to say or imply, but i tried the S100 with tmobile and it worked flawlessly......i tried it with ATT and it did not work at all for calls around Boston, but the same phone worked on ATT in Las Vegas, and Florida.....this same problem happened with a total of 3 S100's that i tried until i realized it was an ATT thing and not a problem of the S100.....ATT makes it difficult to use phones on their network that they didnt directly sell to you....i was told this by an ATT tech during a troubleshooting call.....Tmobile is just the opposite....they dont care, and actually help you set up the phone on their network.....what i said in my response is that it is an ATT problem, not a phone problem....ATT is one of the only providers that cause this type of problem for any phone at all.....once the phone was flashed with the most recent "ATT network friendly" firmware, the phone worked perfectly......so, yes it was an ATT network compatibilty issue like i said......you can disagree with the point all you want, all i was trying to do was help the person with the problem.....you just seem like someone that wants to argue with someone... |
