I shall be residing in the zip code 93518. Any way I can check whether I
will be able to pick up the 1900mhz frequency?

You may be lucky. It seems Bakersfield has both T-Mobile and Cingular
1900MHz coverage. As you're slightly further east the coverage seems
to get a bit more patchy. In saying that when I travelled from San
Diego to Las Vegas I was surprised to find that there was 1900MHz
coverage all the way!
Cheers
Kevbert.
