I NEED SOME INSIGHT GUYS

im sittin here all by myself board as heck and doing my phonescoop thing.

when a couple walk in and say they need a pre-pay phone. my immediate thought was to sell them on a go phone. currently in my store we only have the z300 for sale and the moto is sold out. as i was doing my qualifing the male said they just need it to make scarce calls and 911 calls. i proceeded to tell him this device is perfect for that. he then said its for a woman that gets abused and it needs to be cheaper than 60 bucks because there is a chance she'll get caught with it and the phone gets broken. i told him contact the battered women shelter they house phones that make 911 calls. (our store shipped ours yesterday â˜šī¸ ). the couple said they'd check there but t...

cingular coverage in the nyc area

Hi,
I am thinking of switching from T-mobile to cingular. I am wondering if any USERS can tell me what the service is like in the nyc area - manhattan, brooklyn, queens, and bronx. Is it spotty, does it work well indoors? any personal info is greatly appreciated. I will mainly be making phone calls indoors, and would like to have good coverage.

Also, let me know if your phone works well in nyc - especially if it's a Razr v3, the ericsson z520a, or the samsung x497. Thanks!

Opinon on buying service online

Looks like I will be switching from Alltel to Cingular sometime in June. Are the online stores like WireFly or LetsTalk.com ok to deal with?

Also, this ATT thing going on... should I wait for it to happen?

Check out the phones coming...

Check out the new phones coming according to this web site: http://www.mobiledia.com/carriers/cingular/up coming/page1.html

What a nice selection of phones to be released by Cingular, the Nokia 6126 looks especially great.

I noticed there are two Pantech phones that are supposted to be coming out on Cingular, one thin bar style and a small flip (can't remember the model numbers) that are not listed on the page.

Any news on when we might see some of the models that are listed on the web site?

Q about GSM bands and service

hey ppl...i just got my cingular phone bout 3 weeks ago after having cricket for years, i wanted cingular because of the " grate service"....well i notice that my phone makes noises here and there while im talking on the phone and with cricket i have never had that problem ...isnt cingular better than cricket? i thought..it could be the band im on to?....another thing cingular says it uses bands 800/850/1900 but quad band phones use GSM 850 / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900..so does that mean if i get the quad band phone my phone wont make any noises while im talking on the phone....and i have a lg c1500.

Read Cingular Coverage!!!

Do not get Cingular if you live in an urban town. I live in Atlanta and I drop calles left and right. And also only get 2-3 bars in my house. I have to run outside to answer a call without dropping it. I have had several phones so you cant blame it on the phone. I have a friend with T-Mobile and she has never droped a call and she live a block away from me and she only gets about 2 bars. If you go to www.tmobile.com and go to there personal coverage checker you find alot of places where the have coverage and don't. At least there honest about it and don't flaunt that they have the best coverage. I own a Sony Ericsson z520a. I love the phone, but not the service. On cingular's website they won't show you the coverage map except by regional an...

V3i or V3x?

Do you think it is worth waiting for the V3x? I just passed my point on my contract and I got my $300 downpayment back. I am considering getting a V3i. It looks really sweet. But is it worth holding out for the V3x? I know arround here the 3g network is basically nonexistant... And ive heard many complaints about the phones holding onto week 3g signals instead of just using a gsm signal. It may be different by the time the V3x comes out but I don't know. I haven't read up enough on 3g and all the benefits to it to really know if it is worth waiting. I know the V3x has a 2.0mp camera instead of a 1.2 or 1.4 whichever the v3i has. The main reason I wanted the V3i was the itunes on it. It may have it but on the motorola page for the v3x it didn...

Motorola v235, Samsung x507 availability?

Does anyone know when these two phones might become available in stores? Both look like nice entry level models, especially the v235 if you want a camera.

Pantech phones

Why is Cingular picking up these phones? I see the upcoming Pantech phones to be released. (U-G-L-Y) They look like Vzw phones. Why not releasing some cool phones like these:

or this one:

http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/contract-Samsung-Z540-464 ... »

or: (I'd never get a RAZR though)

CINGULAR OR VERIZON ?

i've had cingular for a bout a year, and i've had alot of problems with them, especially lately, i recently called custome r care the rep told me the are in the process of merging the towers, thats why there is so much noise and static on the phones in the orlando area, my wife also has cingular she hates it , so we went to verizon to check them out, i would appreciate so advice as to what to do,i've never had verizon but i did notice they dont really offer as much as other companies in terms of minutes, early night and weekends, i wonder if there service is as good as they say.

Job at cingular?

Hey all, I posted my resume for a job opening at a mall near me, but they haven't responded. I have about 1 1/2 years exp., but no further contact besides the e-mail receipt of my application. I submitted both my resume, and through their "cool resume builder".

Anyway, I was wondering if they have a phone number I could call to see what's up with my application(s). I would like to get the job, but I would also like the common courtesy of someone telling me that I didn't get it, and why.

Thanks in advance everyone.

P.S. I don't know if it matters, but it's for a sales job at a corporate store, in New York.

Cingular is so much better then stupid verizon

verizon sucks i hate them and here is why

they cripple the bluetooth

they cripple the TF slots

they have implemented a standard ugly red bar UI ( and that new flash UI is stupid too)

they charge twenty buck for an esn change

Their commercials are stupid and their network is overrated.

long ass wait times at retail outlets

limited stock ring tones included with phone, they want to bend you over with GIN

no free games included with phone, not even a free demo

I hate brew very weak

Vcast is a joke

And all verizon fan boys

im just filled with so much anger i cant even type any more, God i hate them

Dropped calls !!!!!!

Ok let me say this leaving a coverage area or being in a ****ty coverage area and the call ending is not a dropped call ! those are known as gaps in service . I work in a call center and we have a program that shows call process failure and 99.9999999 percent of people that call and say that there dropping calls are not .
driving through hill-jack boon-dock bfe usa and loosing signal is not dropping a call its all in the service agreement
WE DO NOT GARUNTEE SERVICE IN ALL AREAS !
