who here has cingular.....

[chode_regulator]

and what are your thoughts on their overall service? as far as dropped calls, no service areas, customer service and overall experience with them.

[CharlieMac]

Cingular won't let me do shit with my service unless I switch over my contract from ATT Wireless to them. What a bunch of assholes.

[cecil collins]

It's not as good as verizon in my experience.

[Brodels]

Same here.

CDMA all the way!

[Marklar MM]

With Verizon, you get the "network".

"Can you hear me yet? Good."

[ducks]

I {heart} my Sprint. :)

all cell phones suck and are going to cause the entire country to get cancer in ~20 years due to all the microwaves

[ChumpDumper]

No complaints, but I have pretty much the Ford Maverick of cell phones as I haven't changed it out in about four years. I don't like being that connected....

You know you are dead on 100% on that thought.

I have been thinking of switching back to my original Motorola Star Tac, the most venerable and trustiest and faithful phone i've ever owned, it fell many times on the concrete and took lickings and it still powers on and could still work. I saw a Treo 650 up there and I have one of them, and it stinks on ice, I've replaced it 2 times already since getting it in November. I hope everyone else has better luck with them.

I think Cingular unveils the new phones quicker, the fancier and flashiest ones before most everyone, they had the Motorola Razr first and I know the Blackberry 8700 first which is nice.
their service stinks though, I've heard pepole bitch about it and complain about dropouts.

I agree, of all the services I had they're the most reliable one by far.

Cingular and T Mobile totally shit the bed

[SpursWoman]

User switched from Cingular to Sprint because he always seemed to be having problems...

:fro

[ChumpDumper]

We have T-Mobile for work -- lots of drops and now my phone is showing the wrong names when getting a call. Odd. Cingular may suck, but it's better than that at least.

All my relatives swear by Sprint.

Hey SW, How's your Treo?

goddamn what a frustrating mess that thing's been for me, sure it is multimedia friendly and awesome, but the thing has been nothin but a piece of crap for me, i got one in late November and had to replace it 2 times already, and the one i bought was a new one not refurbished.

I hope you have good luck with it. I still love the Blackberry over that stinker.

Thats what I have too and I'm quite happy with it as well. Love talking for free!

Hey SW, How's your Treo?


It's been great so far...but I just got it last night for my birthday. :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I have cingular and hate it. I can make a call in my living room with no problems but if I go into my own room then I get shitty reception and even disconnected sometimes.

[N.Y. Johnny]

Oh god, I do hope you have good luck with it. They're great phones, but I seem to have gotten a bad one, and a friend of mine that has one too has had his go out recently.

I hate cell phones so bad, I can't wait to ditch mine. I threw my first cell phone at the wall so hard it exploded.

i really like cingular, but they have some error that has me owing them over a thousand dollars and the guy called and i frustrated him so much he hung up on me..so i got to go make a visit and find out what the fuss is about...

but i like the service...although i cannot compare as i have never had a different one. :tu

mauybe i should justget a pager instead????? :lol :blah :spin :oops :elephant :huh :tu :td :throwupsp :rollin

[Guru of Nothing]

Personally, I have Cingular (paid for by the company) on an old Nokia 6161i. A bit cumbersome, but for as little as I use it, I refuse to sell out my own dinaro for something more fashionable.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ehhh could you possibly make any less spelling errors pleeze

[bigzak25]

yah, purty pleeze.

[JoeChalupa]

We had verizon for years but switched to Sprint since the majority of our family had Sprint. Never had any problems with Verizon.
But Sprint has worked very well for us. Like the early nights too.

[chode_regulator]

ehhh could i possibly be any more gay pleeze

[SA210]

Same here, Only I made the switch, don't do it. Cingular is a bunch of a-holes. They say you HAVE to switch, then u switch and if u have any complaints about things, they say, You didn't HAVE to switch.

They're greedy jerks and I'm goin to Sprint or someone else soon.

[BabyBrother]

On tv, those slimline from cingular for 99 bucks seem cool. Anyone have one?

[BabyBrother]

My bad. It's called the razr.

[ZStomp]

I want an MP3 cell phone now...

[Nbadan]

Cingular sucks, go with Sprint.

[Vashner]

I use Verizon. Only complaint is no coverage on highway 90 past Hondo heading west.

I was a PrimeCo customer.. remember that stupid little pink teletubby they had? Anyway Verizon ate them up and I got stuck with em.

[Das Texan]

Cingular are greedy bastards, I'm currently dealing with them on a billing issue...

Just switched to T Mobile, I have no complaints as of yet...

The Razr is a sweet phone.

[CosmicCowboy]

I like cingular...some other services may be better in town but in my experience cingular has the best coverage by far in south texas...I rarely drop coverage even out in the middle of nowhere...several times I have been on ranches in south texas and the guys on other providers would have no coverage and I would have a full signal. Never had any problem with the nationwide long distance either...I seem to get my calls no matter where I am...

[Shelly]

I have Cingular and the Razr phone. No problems with either.

[chode_regulator]

thanks to everyone so far who has posted. except my alter ego CBF, fuck off! :king

That is not a phone...it is a Palmone on steroids.

[Kori Ellis]

We have Cingular too. And it works great everywhere (except it doesn't work at all in Hill Country Village).

[usckk]

I had Cingular. The signals weren't very good. Many of my longer distance calls were not clear. I now use Verizon which is really great.

[Kori Ellis]

Cingular is actually great for me for long distance. I use my cell phone a lot for long distance and I never have dropped calls and it's always really clear.

I guess it depends on where you are.

I would have done it too if they weren't being so pushy about it. I can't upgrade my phone, hell do anything to my plan unless I switch over and get a new contract. But I have a great plan when it comes to minutes. Jess and I are paying a total of 79.99 for two lines and 1600 anytime minutes bewtween the two of us. At the time, Cingular had two lines and 900 minutes for the same price. I still have a year left on my contract.

seems like its pretty much a mixed review. too late now as ive already switched. they have a 30 day return policy or whatever so i guess i could get out of it if i dont like it. ive had sprint for 5 yrs and with little problems and hardly and dropped calls/no service areas. we'll see how cingular holds up, especially since i live on an island.

[mookie2001]

remember when you used to talk with the sprint people all day long?

on your sprint phone

i justg got 700 anytime minutes, 1/3 of what i had with sprint, unlimited night and weekends, same as sprint, with free mobile to mobile, had that with sprint but dont know manhy people with sprint and know a shitload that have cingular, plus rollover minutes from the anytime which sprint doesnt have, for 70 bucks a month. add in my military discount and my bill will be half of what it was with sprint. and this is for two lines. only thing is with sprint i had free unlimited text messages and internet use, but i never used them.
