Using One Carrier's Phone On Another Carrier


Recommended Posts

Where I live Cingular has leased their service (towers) to a company called Edge Wireless. Edge Wireless is called a partner company to Cingular. They use the same equipment . Anyway, this means that Cingular won't sell me their phones or their cell service. I am forced to buy these things through Edge Wireless (whatever happened to a free market?).

What I'd like to know, is can I buy a Cingular 8525 (aka Hermes/TyTN) and use it with Edge Wireless service? My current phone is a Nokia 2260 (very old CDMA phone). It doesn't have a SIM. How do I go about making sure that I can:

1) Get a Cingular 8525 to work

2) Get a SIM for it from my provider Edge Wireless

I'm kind of new to all of this. I just want to use an 8525/Hermes/TyTN and I'm trying to find a way to do so.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
