Can you use a Verizon cell phone with cingular plan?

No, you can not use a Verizon provided phone on a Cingular network, unless it is an unlocked phone. Most of cell phones you get with service provider (e.g. Verizon) plans and deals are locked to that particular network and can not be used with another service provider's network unless you unlock the phone.AnswerAlso - Cingular (now AT&T) is a GSM carrier and Verizon Wireless is a CDMA carrier. Each uses different cell phone technology making them incompatable. You can use an AT&T phone and switch it to a go phone once your contract runs out or visa versa. Sometimes pay as you go phones are the best option.

Can a Motorola ROKR E1 from Cingular be put on a Verizon plan?

Does the unlocking of the Verizon network mean that old locked Verizon phones will automatically be usable in Europe and Africa?

No. Verizon's network is only available in North America. So their network becoming "unlocked" only affects the devices that you wish to use in the United States, Canada or Mexico. Europe and Africa still only have GSM networks and Verizon's network is still only going to be CDMA. Two totally different networks. The only way you will be able to use Verizon's network in Europe or Africa, is if you have a Global device offered by Verizon and you use the GSM network while abroad. However, you will be paying Verizon for all of your roaming charges.


Can you get a cell phone from Cingular and use it on a Verizon plan?

Nope. Totally different Technology. Verizon uses CDMA and Cingular uses GSM CDMA carriers have better coverage in the United States, GSM service has a larger global footprint There ARE Hybrids out there. I think SAMSUNG makes one. But I'm assuming the question has more to do with NOT buying a new phone if you don't have to.
