If you're going to be using this phone with T-Mobile it will work on their network since they are 1900 mHz, however you will have coverage problems with T-Mobile's roaming partners that use the 850 mHz band...same goes for Cingular you will have coverage/signal problems where Cingular uses 850 mHz only, so to answer your question it will work but you will have signal problems.

To What Extent,will It Be A Big Coverage Problem Or Minimal,or Not Sure.thanks For The Info By The Way

can you give more info as to what location you're in? also what carrier you are using would help as well.

I'm In Georgia And I Use T-mobile

That about sums it up. Call T-Mobile and ask them if they are using the 1900 band in your area...

not sure about Georgia but T-Mobile should be all 1900 mHz there, you might be ok, if you want you can check your area HERE just enter your ZIP and it will give you what band your carrier uses in your area.
