- What's up with AT&T GSM roaming agreements. On I-35 here in North texas and into Southern Oklahoma i can see GSM networks from AT&T, T-Mobile, Cingular, and SomethingLink (I forgot the exact name)....However, ,into OK and no more AT&T GSM, and no ability to roam onto any of the others, which really stinks! When i migrated from TDMA the CSR told me point blank that i could roam on T-Mobile "Anywhere" they had service and AT&T did not. Obviously that was incorrect. |
