Switch from TDMA to GSM?

For those of you who started with TDMA, have you switched to GSM yet? I
am curious how you see the pros and cons of the move. (I have remained
with TDMA mainly because GSM plans don't come close to matching the
TDMA plan I slowly accumulated.)

BTW, is 6560 still the best TDMA phone from Nokia? Mine got damaged in
an accident and I need a replacement. Would like to stay with Nokia.

It. may all ready be too late to get the best GSM deals, but if your a big
bucket user (1000+) it is cheap right now.

When the sale of AWS was announced I was able to get 950 National Family
Plan minutes for $39.95, and four lines (3 x $9.95). I got four Sony
Ericsson T-616's, that I received a $400 credit by rebate for signing a two
year contract..

Try to get setup at Amazon.com or Letstalk.com, when I was shopping they had
the best deals by far, and many of the low end phones you make money to take
them, better than FREE! As much as $150 per phone.

BTW, I enjoyed AWS services much better than Cingular. Cingular goes for the
jugular whenever they can get away with it. But my experiences with Verizon
and Sprint aren't much better!

I need some help! I have a great rate plan that was initiated with
AT&T, and I still haven't migrated to Cingular. Cingular can't compare
in terms of plan coverage. My main problem is that I have a TDMA
phone, and find that it is showing it's age (Reception wise). I want
to know if I can get a Sim card from AT&T and buy an unlocked GSM
phone, and somehow manage to keep my existing plan.

Will my existing digital plan be supported if I use a GSM phone??? Does
anybody know??

Forget it. Cingular will want you to give up all the perks and extras that
you've earned by staying loyal to AT&T all those years, and they will treat
you like you just walked in off the street.

I ported my number over from Cingular to Sprint just a few hours ago, and it
feels great to be out of the jaws of Cingular. Sprint gave me three free
phones, NO activation fees, 7 pm N/W, free M2M and did it for about 10.00
less than my old ATTWS plan.

I never wanted to be a Cingular customer in the first place. I regret only
that I didn't jump ship as soon as the merger took place.
