Thank You Cingular!
For taking the most consumer-friendly pre-pay cellular plan and begin twisting it into an unfriendly unaffordable program.
With AT&T, I could pay $10 every 90 days and have a spare phone for when my kids went bike riding or were at school and needed to call for rides home. The deal was so good that I gave each kid their own phone. As of the first of the year, I'd have to plunk $20 or so onto one or two phones - no big shakes and a very nice deal.
Now, Cingular charges $1 for each day you use the phone, plus air-time. Not terribly outrageous, but when coupled with their new horrible coverage in my area and lousy customer support, it's just way too attractive to use Verizon's or T-Mobile family sharing programs.
Well done, Cingular...

Why don't you get the Cingular family share...
The Cingular family plans are much better than the others...

I will not activate a prepaid plan. I give them the toll free #. You are only paid $5/activation and if they do not stay for 90 days that is taken away. Plus they are the worst complainers there are.

How are they better. I sell cingular and I have better shareline programs with other carriers. I am an indirect dealer so I may not know all the benefits. So please enlighten me.

You're going to need a refreshing beverage while you figure out any answer you get to this--may I suggest a nice glass of corporate grape Flav-R-Aid? 😛
