    Do Cingular (Atlanta-area) cell phones roam in Ecuador? On what bands? At
    what cost?

    If so, in Ecuador what is the local equivalent of 911, if any?

    How hard did you look? "In Which Countries Can I Use My GSM phone?" has a
    link to GSM coverage by country. Click on Ecuador to get a list of carriers
    and the bands they use, with a link to coverage map.

    Hi John:

    Please accept my humblest apologies. I asked a question, and he gave me a
    link to a page that has a link to another page that has a link to the
    answer. At first sight I did not realize that this would yield the
    information I was looking for.

    It's a Usenet thing, when people won't answer a question with a straight
    answer, just to help someone out. Yes, the information is available at
    Cingular's site, but their site is not the greatest in terms of
    organization.

    At least no one advised you to not go to Ecuador, which is what I
    half-expected.

    Actually your post inspired me to update my own site, EarthRoam.com,
    which doesn't yet have Ecuador's GSM system listed as available for
    roaming, because originally their were no roaming agreements for their
    GSM system, which is fairly new. Ecuador is kind of like the U.S., in
    that they have AMPS, CDMA, GSM, and TDMA networks.

    Nonsense -- the answer was clearly to be found on that comprehensive link,
    along with a lot of other relevant information. It's far more helpful to show
    people how to find the information they need than to do the work for them.
