850 or 1900 Mhz in California?

I heard Cingular and T-mobile are the same in California in terms of band.
Are they 850 or 1900?

That's currently the case but will be changing in the near future (and may
have started the transition in some areas)

Similary, Cingular has been using T-Mobile's infrastructure in the NYC
area, but that too is going to go bye bye.

Then how to explain why Cingular always gives better signal than T-mobile,
no matter which phone is used?

That's because the v66 doesn't do 850.

Here in California, the signal is the same on Cingular as on T-Mobile *unless*
you're roaming on ATTWS.

Cingular has a multi-year roaming agreement with T-Mobile for the California
infrastructure.

T-Mobile has no facilities in CA. They use Cingulars.

As for the frequency band, I don't know for sure but suspect that it is 1900MHz
as T-Mobile hasn't sold a lot of phones that are both frequencies.
