I'm shortly going to New Jersey for 9 months with work. I would like to use my SPV C500 whilst out there mainly for TomTom Mobile 5.

I will be getting a company phone, and was wondering if anyone knew of a US network that supply SIM cards that would be compatible with my hand set.

Should be able to use your c500 on Cingular and TMobile.

They are both GSM providers but I was under the impression that one or both of them transmitted on 850Mhz - or is that only in certain areas of the US?

Erm, I can't speak with certainty about that. Cingular sells the c500 as the Audiovox SMT5600 so I know you can use it with Cingular. Matter of fact, a friend of mine used an Orange c500 he got off ebay on Cingular for a while. I don't know for sure about TMobile though.

The SMT5600 is the same basic phone but is TriiBand 850/1800/1900 wheras the C500 is triband 900/1800/1900 so just because you can use an SMT5600 does not mean you can use a C500.
