TMBS,
Will this work with other tri-band phones? I have the 9900 and the choice is "Cellular Only."
Thanks!

Yes...
I normally keep my 9900 in the "Cellular Only" mode... In the Milwaukee area this lets me use the US Cellular 800 MHz network, instead of the Verizon PCS (1900MHz) network...
As the "Extended Network" partner for Verizon in our area this costs me nothing and is the same as being on the regular network...
Except... when you are on the extended network you do not have access to "Extended Digital Features" (Internet, Picture Messaging, Get It Now, etc.)
