accessible phones and networks

[Stephen Giggar]

Also keep in mind; The E62 is not a production phone. The same goes for the 3125. Another words. You 
will not find them in stores or on some web site.

The AT&T/Cingular disability center has been known in the past to continue selling phones that are 
no longer being produced or sold by the maker up to 2 or more years when they are no longer in 
production. It's a shame they are still doing the same thing. I guess they have to get rid of stock 
that they still have.

So just make sure that you research the phone that you want very well first to make sure that it is 
still being made. Do not take the AT&T disability center at their word. Check the Main AT&T site, 
Makers site and other sites that carry phones to see if they still are selling it.
