    I dropped my phone in water (go me) and just bought a phone off of ebay. I have service with ATT, and I just bought a LG chocolate.

    AFTER i bought the phone, I see this on the add:

    "ATTENTION ATT/CINGULAR CUSTOMERS: Depending on the area you will be using your cell phone, Cingular requires that you use a phone which operates on the 850 AND 1900 Mhz. bands to ensure full functionality in your area. IF you are unsure that you require the 850 Mhz. network, please contact Cingular/AT&T. This phone will not work on 850 band

    Check this website to confirm your area. If your an att customer and you see your area in pink on the map this phone will not work for you. If your a t mobile customer or any other you dont have to worry because they don't use 850 band. This is just for ATT customers"

    what does this mean?

    Re: chocolate work with AT&T?

    I am not sure if LG ever made a GSM version of the Chocolate, but if they did it likely doesn't support the 850MHz band. That said, I think the only LG Chocolate is the one that is/was sold by Verizon Wireless. If this is the one you have, it absolutley will not work on AT&T. Why? AT&T uses GSM; VZW uses CDMA. CDMA and GSM are not only different technologies, they are incompatible. CDMA phones also do not have a SIM slot, so you would have no way to use them on AT&T's network.

    They did make an LG chocolate which was used on T-Mobile UK's network, but not sure how compatible that is with the U.S. carriers.
