*67 calls

Ok, I had someone call me. This person blocked his/her number I don't answer when plp do this (it pisses me off, if you dont want me to know you're calling... why should I answer?) anyway, this person left me a message. My cell phone never registered it. I called my voicemail, it said I had a new msg. I was like mmmmm?! So I called myself blocking my number and left a msg. Same thing happened; I left a voicemail but my cell phone never registered it. What's up with this?
Anyone has noticed this?

Cingular Employees

Hey, I just my Razr!!! Coolest phone on earth. But I recently stopped by a Cingular store (Not an Auth Dealer) in Tucson. I had problems with my car charger and wanted to replace it. Here's what happened: The Rep told me that I would have to take it to the store I bought it in... Is that true? I had my reciept and original package since it was the first time I used it. Second, they didn't have one in the store to sell me. Isn't this like your biggest, hottest seller? Okay, I understand that you can run out but the rep just told me to try another store and finished with "Is there anything else?" That just sucked. I also have a Verizon Account (I need the EVDO in Phoenix) so Walked accross the parking lot to Verizon. They said t...

PTT

Cingular will launch PTT in September 2005. Cingular is very excited this time it will not be pushed back like last time. PTT was supposed to be launch back in 10/04. But it was scarped at the last minute due to network concerns. Cingular believes that their PTT on the Kodiak format will destroy Verizon and Sprint's PTT. Cingular believes they will be competing with Nextel for the high ARPU business users. Cingular beleives that they can be the number one source for PTT.

Top 3 carriers

Total subs
=====

Verizon= 45.45 million

Cingular= 50.37 million

Nextel/sprint= 44.71 million
------------------------


Sub growth for 1st and second quarter

Cingular=
1st quarter= 1.4 million
2nd quarter= 1.07 million

Nextel/sprint=
1st quarter= 2.1 million
2nd quarter= 1.45 mill (1.25 million including affiliates numbers)

Verizon=
1st quarter= 1.64 million
2nd quarter= 1.9 million


Looks pretty good for the top 3 carriers in the United States with total subscribers and sub growth for the 1st and second quarter and I will continue to look for this growth in the future. As you can see verizon did a lot better in the first and second quarter then cingular, while sprint/Nextel did better in the 1st and 2nd...

Cingular Newb Coming.. Wisconsin In the House

i had just talked to C.W. and they have said that they are working from a start in the north and going to be working there way south.. is this correct???

Then the next question would be is wisconsin fully merged between the 2??? or is there still more towers to merge.???

The next question is what would be the best performing phone for cingular? i have been trying to research but things don't seem all that clear on most models.
I am looking for a camera ringer Id and good signal strength but most of all i would like to have it in a flip phone not the swivel or candy bar style..

but i would like to be able to get the phone at the time of when i sign up later next month
thats about all i am inquiring about currently thanks

warrenty exchange question

heres my problem. i had a messed up sony ericsson t237. the keypad wasnt working. I dont think it was damaged by water. It had never been near water. so i did a warrenty exchange thing online at cingular.com and I got my replacement phone. I havent shipped the other one out yet. If it ends up being damaged by water what will happen? If it is, then i wouldnt mind returning the replacement. Will i still get charged a processing fee. How much is the processing fee? I dont think I should be charged a processing fee if it was damaged by water because I didn't know. The phone was not wet or showed signs of wetness so yeah.. again this is just a what if..

THANKS!
