Question about AT&T wireless towers....
Ok i heard different things nd now i want a straight up answer. Since the Cingular/AT&T unification, Cingular has since had better recepion. I was just wondering are the towers for cingular and the towers for ATT still seperate or do they both blanket over each other. By this i am asking if ATT's towers act as a backup in places where Cingular's original towers don't exist? or is reception combined by the two?
I also heard that to save money, Cingular killed off all ATT towers where Cingular towers already exist.. can anyone clarify?
THANKS!

that info is wrong, Cing is doing a network integration. Making both networks 1 big network. It makes no sence that the company with the largest customer base in the US would be removing cell sites to save money. I'm sure that Cing is all about saving money but they will do it other ways, not by decreasing network size.
...
The only time they would turn down a network is if they were on the same pole, let's say. There is no need for double coverage. Now if they are on separate poles in separate parts of the city, they both would remain working as Cingular and AT&T towers until the AT&T tower were integrated with the Cingular network, which is completed in many areas already.
