Coverage on TDMA between Tulsa and Dallas is GREAT! You shouldn't have any
problems. Cingular has no published time frame for doing away with TDMA,
however I have noticed in places in the country that there is a degradation
of TDMA service, not all places but some. I would expect SOME TDMA service
for another 5 years.

E-Bay, or contact me I have 4 laying here that I was about to carry to a
re-cycle bin someplace. One I just took out of service last week. All 4 work
fine.

*3001#12345# will get you into programming and you can look at the security
code.
