I live in the US(california) and am interested in the T68. I was just woundering if it is going to work on any of the networks around here. the ones i have to choose from are, Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Cingular, and Sprint PCS. i'm thinking it wount work on Verizon because its a TDMA network (i think) but it would be cool because i am a current coustomer.
Any thoughts would be great

No it dosent work with Verizon.
Just ask the Cingular if they work with GSM 1900 otherway you can not use the phone. |

I'm not sure about the others, but it will probably work with AT&T in April/May. I know for a fact that they will start supporting the T68 in their network at that time. I have talked to them about a AT&T link to the Esato WAP site. |

I too use my T68 on Cingular's network. AT&T's GSM network is not completely throughout California, however they are both begining to share each others networks so it probably won't matter. |

They should be pretty good; voicestream and I beleive cingular are both out there, so you shouldn't have a problem |

u mean the wap service? if u apply it now (phone them to activiate), u get 3 months free, last time i asked them how would they charge for the fee they said they haven't decided yet, but i heard rumors said that it should be extra $3 Canadian per months, not too bad though. |

I have just sent my phone to Ericsson for a firmware upgrade and their service center is in CHANHASSEN, MN by the company TELEPLAN WIRELESS. It takes close to 1 week for them to actually get the phone processed so expect a 2 week wait. |

Dan47: The T68 currently is not set up with Cingular's WAP settings and they usually can't help you set them up. Their services only offer GPRS WAP right now for $4-$10/mo. However you can use your own ISP settings and a public wap gateway. They will be offering GPRS Data soon, my guess is maybe MAY or JUNE. Also, Cingular will be offering the T68 late April, early May. |
