Richie, there has to be a GSM carrier in your area, no? It may not be Cingular, but an alternate carrier should allow you to utilize the phone.

These companies provide services where it is most economical for them, as well as their customer base. Subsequently, products enjoyed by people in the Lower 48/Mainland don't get to Alaska or Hawaii until a year or two after the products are already marketed.
