Here is the press release from TM, which is all we have right now: http://www.t-mobile.com/company/pressroom/pressrelease100.asp So far, this deal has not yet closed. It can happen at any time as the Cingular/AT&T merger is now closed, when the other approvals are received. There is a transition plan, up to four years, for the Cingular users to migrate to the existing AT&T networks in CA/NV and NYC. You won't get better coverage as a result of this agreement, as the newtork T-mobile users will use will be the same (it will be expanded just like any other TM network.) You may experience less network congestion issues since the usage will eventually be lower, but that also depends on the amount of spectrum TM has in those areas. Also, no one knows any details of the Cingular roaming agreement that was signed in that press release. ------------------------ Yahoo!
