switching from verizon to cingular...is it worth it?

I spend a lot of time in the New Brunswick area of New Jersey as well as in NYC and in Los Angeles. After the whole V710 debacle, I don't really want to do business with Verizon anymore; although, the service is good in Los Angeles (where i spend the majority of my time). Is it worth it to switch to cingular? Is the service superior? Is the customer service really as bad as everyone says it is? I have been researching this for about a month and can't really find any definitive answers. Please help! Thanks everyone.

Hope someone can help.

I just relocated a phone to my FT plan. The phone is a SE T226 (don't laugh, no comments please 🙂 ). Either way, when replacing the SIM, the bracket, along with 2 prongs, broke off. There's no way now to access the phone since the SIM cannot be inserted. When it's turned on, the screen reads "Insert SIM." Anyone have any ideas? I called Cingular, they said they can't do anything. Even called SE and was told the same thing. Just hoping maybe someone had some ideas.

Nokia 6102 & Push To Talk

I've been a Cingular customer for about seven months (switched from blue) and was looking on the Cingular website at my account and saw the option to upgrade my telephone. When I click the option to upgrade, and browse the phone site I notice that the Nokia 6102 has PTT.

However, when I log out and check the phones status outside of there, I do not see the feature posted! Is this a typo or does the Nokia 6102 work on the cingular PTT network?

When is PTT supposed to launch? And is the pricing going to be around 19.99 for family talk plans (2 phones)?

Here is a copy I found of the PTT coverage area:

New POS.com

how about the new look? a lot fresher and way more organized. my first try without any training cut a minute or so off the activation process for me. I finished in nine minutes from the time the customer came in until he left, phone working with three accessories and three features. Superb work by the web designers.

phone problem

Hi all you cingular reps, I have a question. I have a motorola v400 and when you try and listen on it, you cant hear a thing, the earpiece is litterally crap. Max Volume, and pushing it to your ear and you still can barely hear unless the other person is shouting. I am not covered by warranty anymore, and I'm eligable to upgrade in about 5-7 weeks, so it's kind of pointless to file an insurance claim and pay 50$ when I'm going to upgrade soon. What are my options? Could cingular give me some kind of temporary replacement until I can upgrade, or even perhaps an early upgrade? Any info on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

cingular maintenance

Anyone wants to prove me wrong that cingular does not spend billions in GSM maintenance?

If you have TDMA, keep it as long as you can. That is costing cingular money. Make them work for it.

Cingular's Push To Talk -phones that will work

I was wondering :

When cingular finally releases its pushtotalk option, will phones they already offer that have the PTT feature work with the new PTT service????
Such as :
im getting ready to update phones, and im thinking about either the Nokia 6102 (which cingular offers) OR the nokia 6170 (cingular doesnt have it, but i'll buy it unlocked).. Both phones list PTT as "carrier dependent".. does that mean that when cingular offers the service i'd be able to activate the option and use my phone? Or does that mean that i'd have to buy one of the new phones (LG, and/or the Samsung d357) that cingular is specifically going to be pushing...?

thanks in advance,
jerry
