The whole Cingular vs VZW thing...

Ok lets stop arguing about who has the better "network" or that GSM or CDMA is better than the other.

Fact. VZW is currently #1.
Fact. VZW has gotten a bit complacent

Fact. Cingular is currently #2
Fact. Cingular is working their arses off to take #1

Both sides have dropped calls. Both sides have unhappy customers.
VZW started with the best customer service. Cingular is working hard to take the position of best customer service.

Overall the only real difference I can see is that Cing's cust serv is not as good as VZW. And no that is not a slight on the CSR on Cing's side. I say that cause BOTH direct stores from Cing and VZW in my area suck arse. My dealership gives 200% better cust serv than the direct store here... Yet the V...

Competition benefits everyone... the carrier, because they have to, to quote Emeril LaGasse, "kick it up a notch". The customers, because competition makes things more even in the way of pricing and minutes, and the sales reps because they have to be on top of their game when things are more equal.

Don't you get it. Cingular is so much better, all 40 million of VZW's customers are brainwashed. GSM is such a far superior technology then CDMA, and the phones are cooler. Also, Cingular clears up your allergies, VZW doesn't do that.

Cingular never charges you roaming even if you pick atts tower, their in network or mobile 2 mobile coverae area is not even close to VZW's, it's clearly twice as big. Cingular has rollover while VZW doesn't. Oh yeah, and Cingular clears up your allergies.

How about data capability beside test messageing, GSM technology has a much much more secure connection than CDMA. Cingular has EDGE while VZW has mobile web(which is a dink internet joke on cell phones); however, VZW does have what is called national a...

Yeah shag. It's BOOOOORRRIIINNGGGG to work on sundays. I can't complain though. Time and 1/2 plus commission if I sell anything. And mighty fine commission I get here too.

So I get paid $15 to sit on my arse and sell on sundays? Heck yeah! It's just the boredom that kills me utterly.

Seriously it does. 100% it comes down to price plans and phones and features in the NE market.

Like before. If Cing takes #1 then VZW better get off its lazy arse and make some moves.

Apparently you didn't read my post in its entirety.

In fact did you even READ the first line?

Good god I hate people whom skim over a post and only See VZW BLAH BLAH or CING BLAH BLAH and neglect to read the entire post.

ahem.. "Lets not compare who has the better *network* or that GSM and CDMA are better than each other" (roughly grabbed off the top of my head)

This topic was not intended for people to troll and come in here and say "My company blah blah and I have links to prove it blah blah". That goes for both sides. If you were being sarcastic in posting then you did a horrible job.

Read first. Then post. Don't post in the corporate crap. Don't post your "My link says this blah blah"

I started this topic to END THESE B...
