I was willing to pay for the airtime and it took about 3 weeks for Cingular to finally admit that while the phone was capable, and their network was capable, they turned off that feature and weren't going to enable it.

Didn't Cingular and At&T merge their cellphone services a year or so ago? They did something because the day they did, all of a sudden my Cingular phone had reception where it never did before.
