*Power cycle the phone at least once a day
*Power cycle the phone 3 times in a row
*Don't turn the phone off more than 1 time a day
*Don't power cycle the phone daily
*Daily remove the SIM and replace
*Only remove SIM in extreme cases
*Take out the battery without turning it off
*Leave the phone off for at least 3 mintues to get updates
*Leave the phone off for at least 20 minutes/day
*Leave it off an hour/day

Those are all different solutions I've been given to help remedy the missed calls, network busy, call failed, and other reception related issues. What the heck is going on with Cingular?? For 4 years, it's been pretty decent, now it's crappy. There are towers fairly close to where I live, so that's not an issue. This is...

Blast! Dad just called, said he called a few times and it went straight to voicemail. I've been sitting here doing homework and I've had full service (according to the phone) ever since. I did hear my speakers start to buzz like I was receiving a call, but the phone never rang. Man, what gives? This is really getting annoying. Why doesn't Cingular correct this problem? I'm off contract, so I can leave whenever I want. I really hate to, but, I would like to use my phone every now and then. I do have 3 others on my account. I'm assuming that they'll either have to stay or I'll have to pay an ETF. I don't think many call and complain in my area but everyone always says they have problems with their Cingular phones. Oh well. Maybe C...

silly question, but since you didn't state, have you tried a different phone with your SIM to see if its the phone?

ZIP is 78332. I also had problems with 78363. If they are, they should let CS know about it. They say everything's fine in my area and there are no problems. We've had signal issue for some time now. My contract was up so I decided to give Sprint a try. I get a 24% discount, which is nice. Their CS is rude as heck, I have no idea why people say Cingular is bad. I do have 14 days to decide though.

Gunny, Why do you troll??? You are such a nice person and fun to talk to in the VZW forum. Why do you have to ruin that by trolling the Cingy forum?

I know you were playing because I know your antics....but there are so many true trolls around the Cingy forum (nextel18 to name a few) that some people just attack without regard. Just trying to warn you.

That and I really don't understand what you have against Cingular. I mean I have both VZW and Cingular and I actually think they are very equal. You can just do more on a Cingular phone than you can on VZW.

I think that's what I'm go do. I just signed up for Sprint today. I really didn't want to leave Cingular, but I was fed up with all the problems and the unwillingness for Cingular to do anything about it. If it was my phone, I would've upgraded, but it was happening to almost everyone I spoke to that was on Cingular's network.

I just signed up for Sprint today. So far, so good. Got to watch Bugs Bunny on the way home. Lame, but at least it's connected. I do get 14 days to try it out though, so, I guess we'll see how that goes.
