We have two 6340i's both on the original GAIT plan. When not needing
TDMA or AMPS one SIM is in a JAM pda phone (tri-band); the other is in a
Motorola quad band flip. No problems at all with the JAM. The Motorola
has broken up on the receiving end a few times over the last year (maybe
3 or 4 times)--oddly enough always within rock throwing distance of the
a tower. I've never really associated the problem to the GAIT plan or
the SIM card--just figured it was the phone.

Is yours on a GAIT plan or a GSM plan with the GAIT feature added? It
might make a difference as to which tower (Cingular or old ATT) picks
up.

I would suggest you try another brand of phone to rule out a problem
with the sim from the 6340i. Borrow one if need be.
