I have had the devil's own time trying to get this phone to work!... This is for my mother and she naturally prefers this phone to her sync... and I am trying to get it to work for her.

We bought it unlocked from ebay; the phone is a cingular phone. It boots up and says welcome to cingular. Then it searches and comes up into "limited service" the majority of time... Sometimes it says cingular and I can make a call, but it drops me after 5 minutes talking. Our service is on the ATT network which should be fine with cingular... same folks so what is the issue? If I go out of my home area at all, it is always in limited service... Att has been pretty much no help at all... There has been 1 guy who has had some experience he says with unlocked phones and he believes it cannot lock on to the right frequency. This Samsung phone doesnt have a way for me to change this directly... Samsung USA wont help me as the phone is korean made and they want me to call ld to korea ....which at this point I am not willing to do.. so I am turning to the forums for help...

Help!

I am thinking the phone needs to be flashed for ATT somehow; if you all think so, then please tell me where to go and how to accomplish it... If not, tell me what you all think is the problem and howfully how to fix it....

Thanks much.
