HELP! Cingular text messages...

Okay, I've been a customer for nearly a year now. My service has been great and I've never had any issues with Cingular thus far...up until now. About two months ago Cingular started to send text messages (from the company) about different things such as advertisements, new ringtones, contests, and such. The problem is that I never signed up to receive them.

I wasn't sure if Cingular had charged me for receiving the messages that they sent until this month. On my account I have 33 text messages listed, 8 of which I can honestly claim to be my own, 5 incoming and 3 outgoing. I don't use text messaging enough to get a plan so I'll gladly pay the .10 per message, WHEN I KNOW WHY I AM RECEIVING THE MESSAGES. The other 25 of those messag...

MP3 to Phone

I have a Nokia 6230 and I'm curious on how to get mp3's on my phone. Do I need to buy a bluetooth adapter for my computer in order to send them or is there a cheaper way?

Which Data Plan for Smartphone

I AM sure this has been asked, so if you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

MPX220 used to synch to a pop account and also an exchange server. Would also like to browse mobile sites.

Would the Media Net Unlimited work or do I need to go to a PDA Data plan?

Thanks,
Mark

New Cingular plans Sept 1?

Is there truth to the rumor that Cingular is coming up with a new calling plan starting Sept 1? Does anyone know what that might be? I will be getting a new Cingular phone very soon, switching from ATT/Cingular. I would like to know what my options on calling plans are now versus any new plan coming soon/estimated date of change. Thanks!

Cingular trying to force switch from S46 to another phone-what is the real deal?

I am an old Blue customer in north central NJ. Got a letter about “upgrading” to a cingular GSM phone. (the fabulous Nokia 6010 for free) Letter says on 9/3/05 my rate plan will change (they can change terms mid contract, but I can not unless I want orange plan and 2 yr agreement) to GSM America National 74.99 plan if I stick to old phone. They are dropping TDMA system obviously, but I long ago locked the S46 on GSM only. I like my old ATT plan, early nights and weekend, free incoming text, and a grand total of I think 1200 or 1300 minutes. My contract does not end until 3/06. The question to the forum-What should I do? I am considering buying an unlocked phone and putting my sim in it, because I actually do need a camera phone, and...

Amazon.com

Amazon.com has the Nokia 6102 listed for cingular but not available yet. Ive bought phones with service from them before since they are cheap and reliable. Just thought that might be a good sign if amazon.com has the phone on the site ready to go when cingular is. Maybe its closer?

Cingular GSM 900/1800/1900 Question

Ok,
So I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've about killed the old phone (GSM Samsung) that I got with my account activation 1 year ago. I want to buy a phone unlocked but does anyone know how to figure out which GSM an area is on?
Do all 3 bands work in all areas or is there something I'm not getting. I've gone to the store, not paying that much for phones that don't work for me, and I've tried to talk to two CSReps but they um...seem befuddled why I would ask.
Anyway, any suggestions to figure out what the hell I need to do? Anyone have a handy map available to look this up for me???

Thanks for the assist 😉

Cingular question on replacement phone

My old Nokia Cingular (non SIM) phone broke, I got a Motorola V551 from a Cingular user with a SIM card. I have a second Motorola for my kid and took the SIM out and put it in the new one and it works perfect, but I want this for my phone and number from the broken phone.

So how do I go about programming the new (used) phone to work with my number?

Why cell phones suck and shouldn't be counted on (the commodity industry)

Radio Frequency and the entire network that we surround ourselves with everyday is based on scientific theory. Hopefully some people will now realize why others think they are stupid for relying so heavily on cell phones in their daily lives.

typical complaint.

"OMFGZ my cell phone just dropped a call your company sucks! im going to X company so that i wont have to deal with this ever again!"
signed - "joe customer"


Sure it's scientific, but it is still just theory.

google "rf theory"

IEEE.org has good info too


good/simple read

FOOL PROOF

i have found a fool proof way to get out of any contract WITHOUT any ETF. Just call customer service and tell them that you are moving to an area that you do not get service with and by law they have to let you of the contract with out any ETF. That is how I got out of T-Mobile and on to cingular. have fun.

Cingular Upcoming Price-Plan Question

All,

Hello, as I am new to this forum. I heard some news that Cingular will be releasing an Unlimited anytime calling plan around December of this year. This plan will be similar to the Charter plan from ATTWS.

Has anyone heard anything about this?

Thanks ahead of time.
