Well, we are making the choice to go with Cingular for the permanent solution. Their 15 day return policy suits us well and our family members that have them love the rollover.

 

I would like to know what is good with Cingular, what is bad, and what is ugly please. We are considering getting 2 of the Samsung X427s and a Nokia 3300. We are going to get the 3000 minute Family Share plan with rollover.

 

I know it works pretty well here in the Cape, but I would like to know about Miami and Orlando coverage as well.

 

Thanks!

I've really only heard nothing but good things from Cingular. The rollover thing is prime. Works well in VA cept in the mountains if you ever visit

I have Cingular and haven't had any problems so far.

I've had Cingular for a few years. I had Sprint before and *hated* it, we got no service in Weston, couldn't use the phone indoors etc. Cingular has been great reception and no problems otherwise.

Cingular seems to be really dependable. I have many friends with it and they have never had a problem. I am currently using Sprint and haven't had too many problems with it, but we'll see.

OK, good then.

 

Those 2 Samsungs and the Nokia Music Phone will find themselves in service for the full 2 years then.

I would read the latest issue of Consumer Reports. They recently did a survey of customer satisfaction of cellular customers. See where Cingular rates. Also, in a recent issue they did a comparison of rates, coverage areas and such.

Yeah, Consumer Reports is always a good thing to look at. Cingular was rated high when I looked, but so was Sprint and AT&T

Well phoenix,

 

I have tried to read them, but it really doesn't make much sense. I wanted first hand accounts from people who use it in the Miami and Orlando Metro Areas. Here in my house, my cousin has it when he comes from Miami and it works like a charm. The phone is almost 2 years old, but it still works well.

:thumbup : cingular's dirt cheap

 

:thumbdown : last i checked, the reception blows in miami

The only problem I have heard about Cingular is customer service. You can expect that from any Baby Bell company though. Sprint is the phone company for my house here, but I hope that BellSouth soon comes across the river and services the Cape so they can compete.

 

I really don't like Sprint.

T-Mobile have better family plans. Only $10 extra per line.

I have cingular and i'm happy with it,i've dropped my phone about 25 times and it still works the same as when it was new,i like cingular so far...

i dont have any problems with cingular...
