About 4.7 million Cingular Wireless subscribers with older phones will have to pay $5 extra each month as the company tries to prod them to get new handsets so it can devote its entire network to the globally dominant technology known as GSM, or Global System for Mobile. The new fee will generate $23.5 million a month for Cingular which is, like other U.S. cellular carriers, required by the FCC to provide analog service until early 2008 so long as it still has customers with those phones.
