I think he was referring to the members on this site who have repeatedly tried to argue the following: Since two people that now work for Telephia, formerly worked for Cingular, the company is throwing the results in Cingular's favor.

A very weak argument for anyone.

And Tex was probably being sarcastic. 😉

I wouldn't argue that Telephia is on the take... jus' that they don't seem to know what's what, at least in NorCal.

I mean, if Cingular really was the 'best network' in the SF Bay Area, those poor peeps would b screwed 😳

i live in the SF Bay Area my whole life and ive had cingular in the past and now i have Verizon.... i have NEVER found a spot in the bay where cingular had more bars than Cingular. Most everyone who has cingular tells me that they hate it. Cingular has been renamed "Suck-ular" and "Single-bar" by some.

HUH? 🤣
Put your lies together b4 you post them please! 🙄

You are gonna hate it when Cingular becomes AT&T, aren't you. You'll have to change all your wallpaper and everything.

Hmm...judging from the complete post...:

Roffle. No, the issue with Telephia is that its CEO and CFO were very recently employed with Cingular. If you think that's the same as a couple or three front-line grunts working for Verizon for a couple years before getting hired by JD Power, I can't help you.

Oh-h-h-h, I did not know that part of it. Does explain a lot, though.

You sure do take something and run with it. Neither the CFO nor the CEO of Telephia were employed by Cingular. Why don't you check your facts before you post.

And I was laying it on pretty slick.

But nice to see my point was validated by the fanboys here.

C'mon Tex... you're pretty much the biggest Cingular fanboy of 'em all.

Don't run from it... embrace it. 😎

No, he is not! 😡 I AM! 😁

Props to you for at least admittin' it. 🙂

Funny thing is, fanboyism about carriers is s'posed to be bad, but fanboyism about sports teams is s'posed to be good. Double standard? Who knows. 😕

You're kidding, right?

You are literate, even with you deciding to switch between ebonics and english.

But you can read, right?

That has to be the most ignorant statement I have ever seen you make.

texaswireless said:

No, not even a little bit. 😎

Wow, I guess the ebonics must have screwed up your reading skills. That, or you only see what you want to see.

Yo Texas you are kinda slow on the up take brah, systemshock likes to start sh@t with ppl. Stop being a big dumb fish and biting duh

I know him M.O., seen him since his beginning. Sometimes you have to take it right back at someone.

Don't get so touchy Tex... bein' a fanboy ain't necessarily a BAD thing. Its just a thing. 😁

And street does not equal ebonics. Yet you call me ignorant? Seriously. 😎

OK, so WHAT exactly is the difference oh wise one?

texaswireless said:

Ebonics is a made-up language, created by some educators who meant well, but who were kinda dumb at the same time.

Street is just dialect, and actually, there are many flavas of 'street', depending where you are.

There are some surface similarities maybe, but saying that ebonics and street are the same thing is like saying Esperanto and English are the same. One's a manufactured language, one is real, and the content isn't even the same.

Capiche? 😎

Yours is "real"?

Ok then.

Yep, you got it. 😎

or is it Fo' real

texaswireless said:

Yeah, peeps still bust that in the hood. 😎

Then, why is their churn so high? 🙄

Because once you start to make money for yourself, you want something more than cheap. I think people don't hold it against T-Mobile because the company never pretends to be more than what it is, but there comes a time when you need to move on to somebody who's going to give you more than a hopeful thumbs-up when it comes to getting reception in your home calling area.

Well, T-Mo underestimates their coverage. Verizon might be over-estimating their coverage. Why else would their coverage maps have this pretty little gem:

"This map is not a guarantee of coverage and may contain areas with no service."

Thats the coverage locator page on vzw. Sides, its only accurate to, accoring to this map, four cities of space.

(BTW-The map shows Coverage for all of Bellevue and Redmond, but the Crossroads area in Bellevue is a known bad spot for coverage. Along with some areas in Redmond. At least, that what the dude from VZW said to me when I asked him.)

I went to a Radioshack and asked them to check the MTi for Cingular. I think I got much more than a hopeful thumbs up, they showed me Cingulars 3 tower...
(continues)

BTW--I give a thumbs up to T-Mo for having the -- "Give us an address, and we'll show you exactly what coverage we have there" -- on their site.

I also thumbs up for Cingular's MTi - "address = coverage and nnearby towers" - in the stores. Hopefully Cingy puts this on their site soon. I heard they encourage their sales reps to use it before signing anyone up, just so the customer knows for sure if they have service at home or wherever they use it most.
