Thinking Of Switching From Nextel To Cingular
Hello everyone. I am a current Nextel customer on the verge of switching over to Cingular.
I really don't need a camera phone but I do like the V400 and the V551
Does anyone know if they are going to release a non camera version of either phone before the end of the year?
Also how much different are the rate plans going to be after Nov 15th?
Are nights and weekends starting at 7 still going to be something you have to pay extra for?
My phone will be for work and personal I am currently on a free incoming calls plan.
My average use of minutes is around 1000 to 1200 hundred a month with a lot of text messaging.
Hopefully someone here on the boards can answer my questions. 🙂 😳

1. no non-camera versions of these phones are on slate.
2. plans probobly wont change a whole lot. probobly minor tweaks, except the 1000 minute plan is gone after the 15th
3. still will have to pay 7 bucks
4. i would suggest the 1250 rollover minutes for $79.99, and add either 750 txt msg for $10 or the merdia works for $20 (gives you 1500 txt msg.

Are you sure the plans are going to stay the same? We are told 19 new plans that are going to be a hybrid of AWS plans and Cingular plans. Maybe the 7-7-7 will be the AWS version which is 7 to 6 for free. Everything up untill we are told is just educated guess.

99% positive the Cingular plans will be virtually the same. The only thing that will change will be stuff internally in Cingular's systems. i dont know if there will be anything IN ADDITION TO the current cingular plans, like someone had mentioned before, called "common experience plans". but that would be kinda dumb to have 2 different nation plan "systems" in my opinion.
we already have better plans than other carriers across t...

Training materials I saw I interpreted as showing Cingular keeping their 7-7-7 N&W. There will be 3 categories of plans: Regional, Nation, North America. There will be more rate plan levels in the Nation plan. I forget the specifics. Of course, I'm not sure if I trust training materials, well, ever.

I think those were just training materials.
They put on the current plans so you have something to see. I was told in training that there is 19 new plans comming out.

there are not 19 NEW plans coming out. just the codes internally will be changing. there happens to be 19 of them..lol..
im guessing the new codes will have the "second" IRDB built into them for any ENS capable phones.
...
The training material said these ~were~ the 19 new plans. I can go back at try to get specifics if you want
...
Like i said i don't know. We were told there would be 19 new plans comming out on day one and they would probably be a hybrid of AWS and Cingular but they would not release details to us yet. They hinted that they would be really good plans like jump on the bandwaggon plans. Besides its just about time for the holiday plans to come out so they may come out with new plans. Right now everything is speculation and educated guesses.
...
ps. I was in one of the earlyer training (had it first day the cingular guys were here) So things may have changed but we were told they were supposed to be special plans.

from Cingular's "The Learning Edge" website, search for CSI801 (Merger Basics). Select “CSI801 Merger Basics for Customer Service” by clicking on the underlined course title. Select the last one from the list. At Course Description, click on the “New Rate Plan: Presentation” underlined link to access presentation material.

Nope. Noone on this board can tell you. Cingular is being extreamly tight lipped about anything new comming out. Noone can tell you when it's going to happen either. The website has been hinting at Nov 10, or Nov 15 but a date hasn't officaly been released. Nov 10 is when they are going to officaly release the date and possible let everyone know what the plans will be. As with everything in the wireless industry these dates can change at a moments notice.
