What cheapish AT&T/Cingular phone goes well with this? I currently have 3G service on an unlimited data plan with a Samsung blackjack. However, I want to buy the N800 and switch to a phone that's just for talking and smaller but will nonetheless let me use it for Internet via Bluetooth.

I have a samsung sgh a707 also known as the Sync. It's a nice solid flip phone with an mp3 player and crisp picture/video quality. It also has a micro sd port so you can swap memory with the n800 for when you want to leave one of the devices behind while roaming your house. It's 3g compatible and came free with a renewal of my contract.

I have the Nokia 6133, which Cingular doesn't support, but I think they have a similar if older model. Any of the Bluetooth Nokias will work right out of the box. I had mine paired and online before leaving the T-Mobile store. There are preconfigured settings in the N800 OS for non-Nokia phones as well, but I haven't tried them.

You can purchase AT&T; 3G or 4G without any contract - just as needed. If you have wi-fi available, you can shut off the cellular data. I switch back and forth at my convenience.

In advance this answer will not be super helpful but here's what I know. I haven't tried it on 3g. I use wireless instead just because of the plan I have.. I IS unlocked. I coincidentally use an At&t; sim but it is a go phone sim card (no required plan- prepaid) and It works fine. It does not come with an SD card. I had my own from my old phone and had to use that. Also the battery retains about half a days worth of charge with network and WiFi in use. maybe a day if you don't touch it. The battery starts of with an excessively short life span until you charge it and let it die a few times... Well that's it from me. Hope this helped.

STRAIGHT TALK - You know, a little bit unrelated, but I just got my Motorola Defy XT at Walmart, but I was told by the sales person that it ran on the AT&T; network but I just found out that it's actually a CDMA phone, probably on the crappy Sprint network, I get very weak signals where I live. I don't quite know what to do now... Return it to Walmart and lose half my 45 bucks in airtime credit I put in, or stick w/ it... I also was planning on installing a different SIM card from Straight Talk that I have, this one by AT&T;, can anyone give me advices? Thanks!

I like the phone and use Puretalk as the provider. I don't know if you can use T-Mobile with this phone. Puretalk however is very good and very inexpensive. BTW, there is now the Two version of the phone which I just ordered.

Officially ATT, but there is a work around to save tons of money. Most people do not know it, but TracFone owns ATT, they are also behind the Straight Talk cut rate service provider at Wal-Mart. What you do, is buy the sim from Wal-mart (couple of bucks) then get the data only plan. Use the associated website to top it off once a month, or only when traveling. You get the same network, but at dirt cheap pricing. (PS, also works great for most ATT phones, it must have a sim. My phone plan went from over $150 to $50)

Hi Akoua, yes it will work with Simple as this services uses T-Mobile to access the network. You'll have to get a SIM card from them to use in the phone. This phone only can use 3G data, not 4G. It's worth looking around to compare rates, since you're going to be using either the T-Mobile or AT&T network connection no matter what SIM you are using. I use TruPhone SIM, it's 11 cents/min no contract and I just top up as needed. I use WiFi for data so that costs me nothing. The great thing about the phone is you can pop in a new SIM when you're traveling around the world. TruPhone works nice for me because I visit England and I can get a local cell phone number for British countries via Truphone for $8 a month, no contract, so I just get a local number as needed and cancel when I return home.

@J.S Internet would work @2G/2.5G which is called EDGE networks but for 3G Internet speeds one would need ATT to use with Nokia American Model phones :)

Hi Gurjit, Considering buying this phone. Bot able to connect to ATT Internet you say (does that also incl. EDGE)? Please elaborate?I've read in other reviews that the Nokia 5800 has no problems using ATT Internet/ EDGE and people have even been able to configure and use their BES on this phone. So looking to get this info from you before I go forward with this purchase.Thank You, EBM aka SlimFady (360)

Net 10 only picks up off at&t; towers, i was told i could use it where i live but after ordering it, i couldnt use in my area cause they dont have sim cards with them. I wouldnt recommend it, and u can only use a 50 dollar unlimited prepaid card with it. So now im stuck with a phone i pd 79.00 for because they wont let me return it because it was over 15 days. I would not recommend.

If you are using Virgin Mobile's 3G I believe all U.S. plans include unlimited 3G for no additional cost (although there is, if I recall correctly, some fine print about limiting the speed past a basic threshold of usage). At home -- or in 'friendly' (accessible) WiFi situations you are not using the 3G and there would be no additional cost to you beyond what you are already paying for your internet connection. FOR THE RECORD though, I dumped this phone because the multiprocessing affects the pitch of the music being played, which is totally unforgivable to my hears. I moved up to the HTC One V that can be found here for between $49 and $99 dollars.

A regular SIM Card, i bought a AT&T; 3G SIM card and inserted it myself and called AT&T; and activated it but i found out later, that if you go to a AT&T; cellular store, they will give you an free 4G SIM Card, and activate it for you and the phone then becomes a GO PHONE through AT&T;, the reason i am telling you this is because, you cant use a Verizon SIM card in these smart phones, only AT&T; will allow you to buy a different brand phone and insert their SIM cards!

Hi, there! I'm quite sure it works with at&t.; Haven't tried that specific carrier since I'm from Slovenia. But the very reason why I bought it is because it is UNLOCKED. That itself means it operates with any carrier. The reason why cells don't work with any carrier is because they are locked under specific code to allow only specific SIM to work with but those are of course cells purchased with a contract and cost 50$ instead of 700$. But that if you ask me is a contract with a devil. With Blu you not only get a fabulous Samsung Galaxy S3 analogue, you get it for 180$ and NO contract!!! Definetely a YES for the purchase if you ask me:). Hi, there! I'm quite sure it works with at&t.; Haven't tried that specific carrier since I'm from Slovenia.

This phone (C6506) is the only one among them to support AT&T's LTE network - and unlike the HTC One, it also supports T-Mobile's 3G/4G networks. Otherwise, what's the point of buying an unlocked phone, if you were to be tied to a given carrier's network anyway? That said, there are some AT&T policies you need to be aware of. Even though this phone supports their LTE band, it does not qualify you for one of their LTE data plans. So unless you already have an AT&T branded LTE capable phone, you will need to get the IMEI (serial number) off one and use that one to register for such a plan with AT&T. (In my case, I went into a local store, where the sales clerk was nice enough to use the IMEI from his own AT&T branded Xperia TL to give me such a plan...) AND - this is important - BE SURE to specifically request an LTE plan, not simply a "4g smartphone data" plan. Without an LTE plan, you will be limited to HSPA+ speeds. Even though they like to call the latter "4G", it actually a "3G" technology, running on the same frequency and air interface as UMTS and HSPDA. (I blame T-Mobile mostly, they were the ones who started marketing this technology as "4G", mainly because they did not have immediate prospects of getting LTE like the big guys...)

Hi Eugene. You made me curious if my phone will work on AT&T; 4G Network, so I bought an AT&T; prepaid simcard with a logo of 4G LTE. I put it in and I load $40 with unlimited call and text and 200MB of data. After that I called AT&T; to activate my internet and they did. I was so happy that I was able to go to any website but only to the speed of H or H+. H+ is faster that 3G but one step down to 4G/LTE. Hope this is helpful.

$60 offers data package and may be required for 4G phones. Both offer unlimited text and talk. I would be careful when purchasing from individuals, and suggest you purchase from ATT or retail walk-in stores or businesses.
