I thought so, but frankly I haven't used Cingular in over 4 years, and
never with GSM. I was impressed, back in the day, that they supported CSD
data on TDMA, something that (the old) AT&T Wireless never did.

Do they allow CSD now on GSM? It's a great last-resort connection for
folks without a (or with a metered) data plan.
