The GSM 850 is the issue I am addressing >>> "Ortwin Regel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/12/08 3:22 PM >>> It sounds like Michael was talking about GSM in general. The area not covered by that indeed does seem negligible in the US. You have got a different issue. From what I picked up, it is not reasonably possible to change the hardware in a GTA01 to support the 850 Mhz band. The best option you have is probably to sell your GTA01 and get a GTA02 that supports 850 Mhz when they become available.
