The Nokia 6340i has GSM 850/1900 Mhz, TDMA 800/1900 Mhz, and AMPS 800
Mhz. Sold only by Cingular, and not in all areas (if they offered it in
California I probably would have switched to them instead of Verizon
Wireless, but I've been generally happy with VZW).

The Nokia 6340i has GSM 850/1900 Mhz, TDMA 800/1900 Mhz, and AMPS 800
Mhz. Sold only by Cingular, and not in all areas (if they offered it in
California I probably would have switched to them instead of Verizon
Wireless, but I've been generally happy with VZW).
