The phone you are bidding on is more likely a Nokia 5160i (not 1 Nokia
model numbers are four digits sometimes with a letter such as i after
them.) At any rate the Nokia 5160i is a TDMA (IS-136) phone which
does 800 and 1900 Mhz digital and 800 Mhz analog (AMPS.) Those phones
aren't 100% capable to be used on both networks. If the guy
advertises it that way he's *wrong.* AT&T or cingular will not
authorize a phone's ESN on its network that's not in its database.
