Steven, this is directly contrary to what's on their
website, where all of the dark green areas of the map (the
old AT&T Wireless TDMA network) are on network, regardless
of your phone number, and incur no roaming charges. Did you
ask them about this?

In another message you said you activated a phone with
Beyond, but it comes up "roaming" where you are. Was this
phone formerly an AT&T Wireless TDMA phone or a Cingular
TDMA phone? Would it come up "roaming" if you were in the home
area of your phone number?

Sorry, but I'm confused about this.
