I always thought it would be cool if your phone could display an icon letting you know that the party you are calling is in the carrier's network. I'm not sure how hard that would be to do but it's better than having to check some website.
I purchased five unused Cingular SIM cards from eBay. They had area code 415 numbers assigned. I checked them with Wireless Amber Alert and came up with Cingular. When I checked them with Cingular's M2M tool, the numbers were not found. CIngular must check for active original Cingular numbers but may not be accurate with numbers transferred from another carrier.
2 of the numbers on my family plan were ported from T-mobile, the other line was ported from Verizon, and all 3 are identified correctly as being free M2M.

on my v3 razr, i find out which of my friends have cingular and when editting the number, instead of putting it into the general section, i put all the cingular subscribers in VIPs. so whenever i dont feel like wasting my minutes, in the phonebook, i go to menu and category, select ViPs, and i have a whole list of people i can talk to for free

To find the toll-free phone number for any US-based company, try calling 1-800-555-1212 or search Google for company name plus "phone numbers". Or maybe even searching for the company name and "president office" or "investor relations".
Recently I bought a Samsung printer that had a Samsung retail price on $214.00, but I got it at Staples for 100 bucks. So I investigated some more and found out that the only devices that are sold at retail (inflated x2) were wireless devices. So you have the horse behind the cart.
Oh dear, OpenSignalMaps says Lte 3% of the time! And ATT map say Good to go Lte! If interested you can get OpenSignalMaps from Anroid play.
I don't know if this has been mentioned (as I'm waaaaaay too lazy to read this whole thread), but... it would be really cool to have a Java (or something) app that uses Medianet or something to find M2M numbers straight from your phone...
