Why Cingular?? :?
Ok i am posting this on the top 5 carriers forum..... If i am starting new service with you ahy should i consider Cingular for my service? What makes cingular better then the rest? And What makes Cingular unique(meaning what do theyhave that nobody else has)?
Im a light user on minutes but sometimes i use a little more than normal (normal=500-600) but i am a heavier data user.....what can you do which company do you suggest is best 😕

cingular is very good for their roll over plans. but if you want data, get sprint.
...
with?
cingular isnt great with their data, while sprint is.
sprint has fair and flex while cingular has rollover... it is a tough choice, but he said he is a heavy data user. so that is how i came with that conclusion.

What?
For someone who always wants backup please backup your "Sprint is better than Cingular for data" statement.
In what ways?
Cingular has Palm, Windows and RIM devices for data, so does Sprint. Cingular offers EDGE on virtually their entire network and GPRS roaming throughout the rest (including partner coverage), Sprint only has EV-DO in selected markets and ZERO data while roaming off-network. PCS Vision vs. MEdia Net is personal opinion because it depends on content needed but MEdia net has over 150 sites ready to access.
EDGE and (whatever Sprint offers network wide) are very close on speed especially for WAP pages. He didn't specify if he needed a laptop card or not.
Isn't great?

sprint is better then cingular with high speed data. as i said, they have the highiest data arpu which shows that more people are getting sprint's data services then cingulars. (so my data arpu backs it up)

Wait a minute....You have got to be kidding me. 🙄
Carrier Primary Data Access:
Sprint Data = 1xRTT
Cingular Data = EDGE
Verizon Data = EVDO
1xRTT is slower than EDGE which is slower than EVDO. But you say Sprint has the best data??? Please. 🙄
Verizon would have the best data at this point based on them having the fastest data access. Cingular would have the best if the customer is looking for most potential customization of their WAP experience.
Having the...

well cingular offers the media net for 19.99 which gives you unlimited usuage, and if you have a laptop or something get a bluetooth phone and you can use your phone as a modem and use the internet on utr laptop ( better internet access)
...
yes, i know, but like i said before sprint pcs has better data products that is why their data arpu is the highiest in the industry.
anyway, goodnight. we can talk continue tomorow

Which products would those be might I ask?
Cingular currently offers:
All phones have MEdia net
2 RIM
5 Windows Mobile
2 Palm Based Devices

again, for data sprint is better, especially with their 1xrtt and their vision product. in addition, their ev-do will come out soon, which is better then edge.
thus; sprint's data is better. (also with leading in data arpu shows it too)

🤣
1xRTT is better than EDGE???? Please. You really are living in a dream world. 🙄
...
Because a company charges more for a product makes it better? Just curious, what international countries can you use sprint data. Who has the largest network for RIM...actually who has the largest Data network period. Wait its coming to me.... almost got it...oh yeah. CINGULAR
...
rimm only has 1 blackberry, that just came out, for sprint, but they have been for a long time supplying cingular. that means nothing, al though blackberry is very good. it is about data arpu and their services. sprint has vision and cingular doesnt have that great of a product against vision.
finally, data arpu is highier which means people will pay for it which means that its better then cingular's or else people will flock to cingular and then data arpu will decline. (that isnt the case though)
people should worry about their core and not their data arpu. only 1.1 million customers COME ON!
finally, sprint's is better. 🙂

1.ALLOVER Network, the largest digital voice and data network.
2.Rollover, use them or keep them not use them or lose them.
3.Newest handsets with bluetooth thats not crippled.
Theses are just couple of reasons. If i wanted to i could go on and on. What really matters is that it works were you need it to. If you would like what are the zip codes that you need service in and i can take a look for you. 😁

One thing to consider about the "Rollover" minutes feature is that if you are having minutes constantly rolling over - chances are the plan you signed up for is too large and your paying too much.
Also note that a month of rollover minutes expire after 12 months - and that - the following month - minutes are deducted first from the new months minute allotment - and then - from the rollover pool of minutes (if you have any). Try crunching some numbers before deciding if Rollover is truly something that would be useful to you.
Whereas with Sprint - if you happen to go over minutes - you are charged a flat rate for an additional block of minutes - which could in the long run save you money.

Well, it's a handy feature for the folks are a little under, little under, then a little over.
Just like the jingle says, "They're your minutes, heep 'em."

True true - just something to consider how useful it would be to your particular situation is all.

Industry facts:
Most customers use a variable amount of minutes
With Sprint, since you cited them, you pay when you go over but you get squat when you don't. In the long run you pay more since you are "still" paying for your overages.
The smart customer (and smart rep for educating them how to use this process) will rate jump between a higher and lower plan, effectively using up their rollover. And, unlike Sprint and most others, we do not extend your agreement for changing plans.

I love the roll over im one of those cases Little Under Little Under then a little over! Its great love it.... 😁

My wife and I have over 2000 rollover minutes in the bucket. I could start a call a 6 am one day, end it at 6 am the next day(not that I would) and still have rollover minutes in the bucket. I like sprints fair & flexible plan but the thing is you still have to pay SOMETHING for going over the minutes whereas with cingular as long as you have rollover in the bucket, your bill will stay the same. I understand what you are saying though plookey, definatly something for someone to consider. I think the sprint plan would work better for someone who would probably never use less than their alloted minutes each month.
...
But if they're never using less than their alloted minutes each month then why sign up for a plan that small? Wouldn't it be more prudent either way to sign up for a plan that has enough to cover you than to keep paying for packaged overage?
Rollover's very helpful to lots of people. Not just sayin this cause I'm a Cingy rep, but because I've literally seen people have talkative months, or switch jobs, or something to that effect and blow thru 1200 or so rollover minutes. At $.45 per minute that adds up to $540, at Sprint's packaged overage rate of $5 for 100min. it still adds up to $60. Granted $60's better than $540, but the Rollover covered them and they didn't pay any more than thier regular bill.
As for Rollover expiring, if y...

The next plan up may be too much depending on who you talk to. The person may only be going over a few minutes each month and not need the higher plan. Every individual will have diff needs. But the rollover fitsmebest lol
...
The fair and flexible did cut churn immensely. The fair and flexible plans are perfect for sprint because of how they utilize credit. I mean you could have a writeoof with three cell carriers and just have to pay a $150 deposit. Most of these writeofs are due to a high bill that they just say forget it I will not pay it and they write off. It fits Sprint's business plan and Rollover is not available to those who cannot pay bills!!(Without a depsoit)
...
I love my rollover and did before I even worked for Cingular. It has catches yes, but why shouldn't it? It still serves the purpose.
...
If you actually get out some paper and a calculator you'll see that with Sprint's fair and flexible plan you pay more per minute than ANY plan with ANY other company. I made a pretty graph one day, and Cingular wasn't at the top but Sprint's Fair and Flexible was definitely at the bottom. This was comparing to their "America's Choice" plan as well, since they still had it back in the day.
Of course it pulls from your current month first, Rollover is there to protect from overage. If you haven't gone over your minutes, then you don't need to use your Rollover minutes. If you wanted to argue about which month it pulls from first when you're over your minutes then fine. That's a good questions which I can't answer. Ideally, it w...
