cingular with unlocked phones

Thanks for the replies guys.
But the phone does work with a T-mobile sim.

I suggest you sell it to a T Mobile person.

Bamp may be right about the frequency change. Cingular is selling their
towers to T Mobile, at least according to the folks I've talked to. There
certainly is some monkey business going on with towers, frequencies, color
schemes, ATT, and who knows what else.

Motorola is the last phone I'd suggest to anybody I don't hate with all my
heart.

I am having this problem with my unlocked 'Nokia 6230'
(http://tinyurl.com/d9cz4) I was an ATT customer. I got the phone from
eBay and it was actually unlocked and worked fine on the ATT for months.
Then I switched by sim to a cingular sim April. When I switched the
cingular sim it was fine. then I used a different phone for a few
months. Now it will not find the cingular network to connect to. The
weird thing is that the menu option to search for a network is also
taken away when the cingular sim is in the phone. My old ATT sim won't
let me make calls (since it is cancelled) but it lets me go to the menu
option to search a network.
Any ideas on why this won't work anymore?

Thanks

It is the US version, or the international version? If the latter, that
would probably explain your problem, since it lacks the 850 band.

It is the US version.
It worked great for 7 months then I stopped using it for about 5
months. Now it doesn't connect to cingular even though it used to.
Any other ideas as to why it won't even let me search for networks only
when my cingular sim card is inserted?

Please don't switch posting styles (top vs bottom) in mid-thread -- it's
confusing. Thanks.

Are you getting any bars of signal? If not, the phone may now be
defective.

Cingular inhibits some options on its SIMs, including network
search/selection.

Hi if your cingular sim is not working in Motorola V300 then you first check that whether surely your motorola v300 mobile is unlocked or not ....If it is not unlocked then unlock it first using sites like ClassicUnlocking.com they are providing unlock code for all mobile models at reliable cost ....Even after unlocking you can't use your sim then contact your network provider ...
