Byrnes said it is too early to speculate on what sort of problems AT&T might have, if it does create a network involving multiple carriers that use different cell phone standards. The company's plans with Sprint come as AT&T Wireless, which AT&T has used in the past to sell cell phone services, has been struggling. Last month, AT&T Wireless announced plans to open 100 new retail stores and bolster its customer call service, after suffering one of its worst financial quarters ever; it lost 367,000 subscribers, while its competitors enjoyed a surge of new customers.

AT&T Wireless was bling my thing warp iphone x case - gold once a unit of AT&T, but the company spun the business off in 2001 as part of a larger restructuring plan, The phone company's planned cell phone service could have some interoperability problems, if it draws on other carriers to create a "mixed" network, an analyst says, On Tuesday, the nation's largest long-distance phone company announced that it tapped Sprint, which owns a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) standard cell phone network, to supply it with wholesale network access for an AT&T-branded cell phone service due later this year, The choice of Sprint was expected..

AT&T spokesman Jim Byrnes said the company is also in talks with several other U.S. carriers, including those that use GSM (Global System for Mobile communication), the world's most popular cell phone standard that's not interoperable with CDMA. While that raises the possibility of having a "mixed network," Byrnes said, "it's very early and nearly impossible to really tell at this time.". Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic.

Review summaryManufactured by Toshiba, the Sprint VM4050 (a.k.a. the Audiovox CDM-9950) is one of three videophones offered by Sprint for use on its PCS Vision network. The VM4050 provides a large color display, a built-in still and video camera, and a flash. At $329.99, it's somewhat expensive, but for buyers looking to get in on the video-mail craze, it delivers the goods despite its less than stellar battery performance. If you get the phone for close to $150 with or without service, it's a good deal.Editor's note: We have changed the rating in this review to reflect recent changes in our rating scale.

Though it isn't the smallest flip mobile out there, it fits in bigger pockets and feels comfortable in your hand while you're talking. The outside of the phone is attractive, with a brushed-silver color, solid construction, and a hinge mechanism that snaps shut with an audible click. A postage-stamp-size external display shows time, signal strength, battery life, and picture caller ID (where available), and at 65,000 colors, it has a clear and crisp resolution. Unlike those on Samsung's VGA 1000, the camera lens and the flash on the VM4050 sit just above the screen, so there's little chance of covering the lens with your finger.
