Guys, I have been hearing from my friends about this issue while attempting to place a phone call for more than a month. After pressing "Send" their phones say calling.. calling.. calling.. for more than 30 secs and nothing.

well that must be frustrating, these types of issues are the reason I will never join cingular. My friend has cinguar and he will have five bars and not be able to place a call, since he's my friend I always lend him my verizon phone.

I have had that happen to me a several times as well. I pick up my wife for lunch during the week and when I get close to her building I call her so she can meet me downstairs.

We had been blaming it on her office phone. Figures it would be something with Cingular/AT&T.
