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!

WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH CINGULAR
What the heck is going on with cingular's customer service? I am absolutely disgusted with them. I have a Sony Ericsson W600i that I purchased November 29th. I recieve it Friday december 2nd. THe following monday I call to exchange it because the games and applications arent working. No big deal... A week later I call back because I havent received anything yet, (that was last tuesday), After being on hold for 2 hours cingular says my order wasnt put in..all this time on the phone and that includes being tranfered, given a differnt number, and still nothing? C'mon? and after all that waiting the machine picks up and says all reps are busy with other people leave your name and number and we'll call you back. I wait.. I DONT get a call back. ...

UMTS network / phone launch
With January right around the corner, it is probable to think that the UMTS network launch is coming anytime soon? Along with that, the phones to launch with it, like the Samsung zx10 is supposted to be one of them.
This might be a tough question to add to that, but does anyone know what kind of UMTS or HSDPA coverage we will have..large coverage, or just 16 cities for now...?

Premier Discount
A thread here, got me to look at Cingular's site. I work for a school, and I knew Verizon offered a discount to us, but I've been a Cingular customer FOREVER. So, I checked and Cingular has a premier discount "thing". I put in my e-mail address, and it said my institution qualifies for the premier discount. Okay, so I check my email, and they give me a link to my special discounts. Only, when you click the link, it asks you to sign in with your username and password. I don't have that and it wasn't provided in the email? I tried again. I get a message that the link expired after 30 days and to put in my email address AGAIN for a new link.....so I do....I get the same email with the same "old" link, which keeps asking me to sign in, b...

Thinkning abput switching to CIngular Prepaid.. Please Help Me.
Hi all.. I've had Cingular, since June 24, 2004.. (got a 2 year contract agreement, so my contract will be up this June of 2006). NEVER been late on a bill.. But, I've been thinking.. Finances lately aren't that good.. And I still want to keep Cingular, and prepaid would be better off for me, too.. IS there any way to convert my number to a prepaid account? Without having to be reissued a whole new number? And is there any way to avoid the price to buy out my contract?...

Two V551 users in Dallas consistently dropping calls! What to do?
A friend and I both have V551's on Cingular and live in Dallas, TX. Both of us consistently have problems with dropped calls, regardless of who we're talking to, what time of day, day of week, or our current location in the Metroplex, and regardless of whether we're sitting still in one spot or driving around... and when we're talking to each other it's 10X worse! Between us we probably drop the call 5+ times during a 10 minute conversation, even with both of us sitting stationary in our homes with 4-5 bars signal strength!
I didn't have these excessive dropped call problems way back when with AT&T or with my old Nokia... so it's either the Motorola V551s or it's Cingular. I've read about other folks having call problems with the V551...

Sales have been sluggish here, and we were supposed to get a cor store, (we're in a Kiosk,) but somehow "the deal" fell through. So this is the new course of action. I have been offered to be relocated to a store that is .45-1 hour away, but I am not interested since I am going back to work for VZW starting Tuesday.
