Cingular rate plans, the best around?

After checking other carriers for better rate plans, minutes vs. coverage, Cingular has without question, made a positive change in wireless as we know it. Look at Alltel's rate plans for example, their 39.99 plan national plan only has 1000 n/w mins, and 1000 mobile to mobile. Cingular's same rate plan has unlimited mobile to mobile and 5000 n/w. That's a big and clear difference. If you're shopping for a deal, you found it, and keep your unused anytime mins.

Above all else, we all talk on our cell phones, why not get the best deal you can.

The other day I went on each of the major wireless carrier's websites and compared plans. $39.99 with Cingular is 450 rollover mins with Un MTM and 5000 N&W, Verizon has $39.99 450 mins, Un N&W and Un MTM. T-Mobile has $39.99 600 mins and Un N&W with no MTM. Sprint offers no overages, but for $35, 300 mins, and Un N&W. Nextel is offering $45.99 with 500 mins, Un N&W and free walkie-talkie (almost same as MTM).
Seems as though Verizon is Cingular's only real competition right now.

You're a little out of date. 39.99 with TMobile will get you either 1000 with unlt'd weekends, or you can go 45.99 for 1000 with unl'td nights and weekends.

Again.....you get what you pay for.

I've never not been able to make a call anywhere I go that isn't a billion miles into the boonies, what exactly do I care about coverage anywhere else? Having fun with all those billing errors and migration issues our porting in customers complain about?

Then you must move in about a 10 foot circle. Coverage is T-Mobiles' MAJOR issue. You're lieing if you say it isn't.

I know of a T-Mobile company store in a mall where they can't even get coverage. That has to be embarrassing.

Quite frankly, there's nothing on this forum that challenges me enough to lie about, but thanks for the insult anyway. I work in a call center with people who have every major service provider, and quite frankly where we live TMobile kicks all the others out of the pool by a long shot, with the exception of not having analog roaming out in the boonies. Since I don't LIVE in the boonies, I truly do not care whether or not someone can get a call through when a ...
