Cingular Network
I tried to use my phone from 5:00 to 10:00 and the network was busy. I couldn't send or receive calls or data. Cingular is the WORST company out there. I would not recommend them to anyone!
...
sounds like someone should upgrade her old ass TDMA phone for once and for all... 🙄
😈
😈
...
omg someone couldnt use their phone for 5 whole hours life must be hard
...
why dont u guys try and lighten up a bit. whenever someone says anyting bad about cingular, u guys all jump on that one person. her comments may in fact be valid, and if she wants to leave, let her. it doesnt affect u in anyway. i promise your boss wont fire you because april8395 left cingy.
besides, what about all those ppl who tried calling their loved ones during 9/11 to say their goodbyes, and their phones didnt work? 5 hours can be a big deal in a time of emergency, and u dont know her circumstances, so i would assume anything.
chill out

For the record, my cell service was operating before land line service after the last large quake in my area.
...
Why do you have to bring 9/11 into this, because it's the terrorists fault that she couldn't get service? 5 hours is not that big of a deal. it's saturday, businesses are closed for the most part and most likely the calls you will be making are personal and usually pointless. since you are paying for service i understand you expect to make and recieve calls all the time, but the network being busy can occur on any network. it's not just cingular.
...
Five hours out of a day is an awefull long time to be without your cellular device. If my cable were down for 5 hours i would be calling in for reiburcement. I would say it is more than legitament for april to be upset, regardless of what would or could happen on another carriers service.
...
at the same time I don't beleive her comments to be 100% accurate
the likelihood of that happening is too slim

just a reminder that you all rely waaaaaay too much on you're cell phones, or computers, or Internet. relying that much on electronic equipment is putting all your eggs in one basket, you are setting you're selves up to be in a $hitty position. And April why did you not get service, where where you, what phone do you have? what sim card do you have? did you power cycle your phone? all these are relevant questions to find out why you could not make calls. And if Cingy sucks so much leave. pay you're ETF, with a prorated last bill, then get new service, pay a activation charge, maybe a deposit, a prorated bill for the new service plus phone purchase, and who could forget the lovely prorated feature charges. getting a little expensive is...

well. i can still get myspace on my phone 🤣
does that count as reading?

I have only been doing this for 1 yr and I'm already sick of complaints and bitching. It doesnt even matter what carrier u work for someone is always gonna be a pain in the ass or in some cases just too damn lazy to figure out whats wrong with phone.
...
amen brotha.....time is comming up for me to find a new field.....sales are killing me!!! 👿
...
i came from help desk at a legacy orange call center... i like the money in sales, but i'd much rather be back at the call center.
...
This seems kind of strange. Did you go into a local location and ask if service in the area was down at the moment? They would still be able to tell you if there was a tower outage that affected you ability to call. I have had the network busy message before but it usually only lasts for a short period of time, say 1-2 minutes.
...
it was probably 5 minutes and she is now making it seem like it was 5 hrs.
...
No way to know without Maptooling her home network and checking for outages or something. However i don't generally trust any poster that created an account just to post on phonescoop of all places once and leave. I'm thinking its a regular stirring up trouble.
...
Just because you have problems doesn't mean the whole nationwide network has the same problems at the same time as you.
Where were you trying to use service, with what phone, and how many bars of signal did you have when you tried to make your attempts.

so is this 5:00AM-10:00AM? Most people aren't up at 5:00AM...or was it 5:00PM from the day before??? And you got network busy, and no data? is that data as far as text or media net? did you try to power your phone off and back on? where you in a tunnel 5 miles below ground? and if you were out that long, did it occur to you at some point to either a) call customer care or b) go into a store or c) ask anyone else if they were having trouble???

5 hours of you whole contract experience makes cingular the worst company. be glad you arent with verizon in chicago then.
anyway get you troll game up, create another aweson story and we then might believe you and feel sorry.

Lol, she doesn't have service for 5 hours and you weenies start hating on her? You guys are more pathetic than the Cingular service. Never had that problem with Verizon...
...
Obviusly you don't live in NY, or Chicago, or LA, or Miami. All outages that lasted more than 5 hrs (in less than a year) 🙄
...
Or I do live in NY... And once again, never had that problem or now of anyone who did. 🙄
...
I've NEVER had any outage of significant length on Cingular. Please go hate in the Sprint or T-Mo forum...

That AT&T would have purchased Cingular. Atleast AT&T was good to their employees.

Cingular is good to their employees as well...
...
I know countless people here in Lubbock that are employed by the call center as well as retail and they love their job.
...
It seems to me that this person had nothin better to do but start talkin trash without really explaining her situation. There could plenty of reasons as to why her service went down. If u want to say Cingular sucks just say it dont make up a story just to waste people's time. 🙄

really? so the all mighty verizon never has outages??? please answer realistically and honest...

In my area, Verizon is the only one to have backup generators at all cell sites. Other carriers (cingular) have backup batteries but some of their locations don't even have that.
The latest example would be the earthquake in Hawaii.

Of which both Cingular and Verizon coped with outstandingly...

Verizon still won tho 😉 and when talking natural disasters thats important to me, verizon users where able to text right after and had voice up first.
...
You like vz. We like Cingular. Maybe you should keep yourself to the Vz forum. Why come here and talk about that other carrier? Do you need reassurance? Bored? Or do you just want to start a flame war?
...
right! you don't have to worry about that. You just have to worry about researching all over the place to find a seem edit so you can hack your phone the way it is supposed to. 🙄
