Cingular discontinues area service
Lack of towers causes company to end contracts



March 22, 2006

The general assumption when cell phone customers sign up for a National Freedom plan is that the phone can be used nationwide.

However, Cingular customers around the state received letters on March 11 informing them their national service was being terminated.

According to the letter, many cell phone users were making more than 50 percent of their calls on other carriers’ networks.

Local Cingular users soon learned this included calls made in or around Mount Pleasant because the nearest Cingular tower is located in Midland.

“I have two kids who go to Central Michigan University and we specifically asked about coverage befor...

phones second quarter for Cingular

The lineup scheduled for the second quarter is hot for Cingular. I can only be general due to being an employee. I can only say that Nokia is determined to win back the US consumer starting with Cingular's business customer's. I can only drop hints and Motorola is looking to make u forget embarrassing sales of the E1. Look for Cingular to make sure that they are the leader in handsets. The 3g lineup will be greatly improved.

Nortel said it and Qualcomm have successfully achieved 7.2 megabits per second (Mbps)

http://voipforsmb.tmcnet.com/news/2006/03/31/104326.htm »

"In a press release, Nortel said it and Qualcomm have successfully achieved 7.2 megabits per second (Mbps) mobile data calls based on the Universal Mobile Telephone System - High Speed Downlink Packet Access (UMTS-HSDPA) standard. The companies plan to demonstrate high-resolution video streaming enabled by the turbo-speed throughput during CTIA Wireless 2006 in Las Vegas , April 5-7."

"The news is a big help for network operators like Cingular (News - Alert) Wireless, which has placed bets on Qualcomm’s HSDPA solutions to provide the technology roadmap for the video and multimedia offerings of tomorrow. Cingular’s current HSDPA service called BroadbandConnect, which launched last ...

CS...

Because of my new need for international accessibility and data requirements (I'm coming out of retirement... I can only play so much golf...) has Cingular fixed their Customer Service issues?

I live in Scottsdale, AZ but will be traveling back and forth to Philly and London probably 2-3 times a month to manage some properties I own.

Honestly, are they fixing their CS issues or is it still a crap shoot?

thanks

Also, any good smartphone/pda's out for Cingular that have Outlook synch, BT and a good camera?

Cingular in Wyoming?

i currently live in a small town in wyoming. we only have two carriers here, alltel (formerly cellular one/western wireless) and verizon. i am satisfied with my reception and coverage, but not with all the crippling that verizon does to their phones and frankly i'm not a fan of alltel, my question is, does anyone know when cingular or any of the other providers are going to provide service in wyoming? i think they have roaming coverage here, but i actually want to buy the service and use it here. anyone know anything?

Answertones Issue

I was wondering if this has happened to anybody else.

I called another Cingular subscriber today who uses an answertone. When she answered the phone I heard her say "hello" and then the answertone started playing again. When it was playing I couldn't hear her until it paused when the song started over.

Weirder still, she could her it too and could not hear me at all. It didn't stop and I hung up after the song repeated itself 3 or 4 times.

Going to Australia

I am a new Cingular customer. I finally switched from Verizon about a month ago because I really wanted a cool phone and Verizon just doesn't have them.

I deceided on the Nokia 6682 and so far everything has been great!!!
I am going to Australia in October later this year and I have a few questions.
1. Will my phone work?
2. Can I sign up for 2 weeks of international service?
3. If the phone doesn't work can I rent another phone for the 2 weeks?

Thanks ...
