Wisconsin Markets for Cingular

I don't know if anyone would really know this, but could anyone tell me any new areas that cingular is planning to extend to? I'm asking this becuase I'm off to college next year, and my current service, us cellular, doesn't really pick up in eau claire, or twin cities where I plan on attending. Any response appreciated. Thanks!

New To Cingular

I have finally decided to get Cingular over TMobile now that Cingular is available in my area. I just now need help in deciding which phone to get. Bluetooth is not a feature that I have to have. I want excellent sound quality when making calls. I would like to have a phone that gets good signal strength and it must have loud ringers. Anything else that the phone has would be icing on the cake. With all of that being said, which phone is the best out of the following three(Sony z500, Motorola v220, or the Motorola v551). Thanks in advance for your help.

American Idol DVD

So my boyfriend is a huge fan of American Idol. We were watching it the other night & saw that the DVD is $9.99 (with a purchase or activation) exclusively at Cingular stores. How much is it if you don't buy something?

JUST AN OBSERVATION

I cant help to notice that since the merger, Cingular has become more *cough* budget conscious.

Now, do not get me wrong. I love Cingular. I am a faithful customer & transitioned from ATTWS to Cingular.

I just cant help to notice that the family plan prices increased a while back. T-Mobile has 1000 mins w/ 2 lines for $69.99. This is the cost of a single line through Cingular.

Cingular.com has only 1 free phone (Samsung x427) TMobile.com has 8.

Cingular charges $9.99 for 3MB of data usage. Sprint offers a better value: unlimited data for $15.

Is this evidence of a new trend or is Cingular making it harder for themselves to gain customers?


Please do not kill me.... I was ...

Can Anyone Answer This?????

Im not sure how to ask this so Ill give an example...
I have a G/F, I go to her house and I want to block another girls number from being able to call my phone while Im with her, but once I leave be able to unblock that other girls number so her calls would come thru. Are there any Cingular phones that can do this or any ideas on how this could be accomplished? Maybe like having 2 different call list and block or unblock 1 or the other at different times?
Weird request from a customer, thought Id ask since I couldnt honestly answer him. THanks for any help.

Website Sale

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! They have the z500a for $29.99 (free after rebate)! I wish they had that price when I migrated!

When I migrated, I got 2 V200's & an X427 for free. I would have paid $29.99 for that phone.

This constantly happens to me... I get something & weeks later I find an even better deal. I hate it when that happens... ☹️

You all make this info up. Here is the deal.

I heard about this site, thought I may try and set you all straight.

The arguments presented are: Cingular is the best; Verizon is the best; T-Mobile is the best; US Cellular is best, etc.

The problem is: Most base these claims on facts that are mad up, or grossly manipulated. You see, I have worked closely with a wireless carrier for quite some time. I will not disclose that carrier.

SO lets dive into this issue hip deep.

Network quality/coverage:

Cingular- Has the largest all digital network.

Verizon- has the most dependable (according to unbiased un affiliated sources)

T-Mobile- Has a satisfactory sized foot-print, most urban/sub-urban users have dependable coverage.

US CC- Has an Orwellian Nationinal network...

s710a Data/ Internet Settings...NEED HELP!

OK guys I need your help. My phone's internet settings are all screwed up and Ive called customer service 4 times this week but nothing seems to work. Whats happening is that my AOL IM doesnt seem to want to stay connected. Sometimes it will for a little while then it will disconnect and wont reconnect. Since yesterday I havent been able to receive text or MMS messages. I can send them but cant receive them. But the weird thing is that ill receive them all at once toward the end of the day and cant receive them for the rest of the night. When I try to browse the internet it says "access denied. check link or network settings" or something like that. Its driving me crazy because I have the MEdiaWorks package and I want to use it but cant. Ive...

Slap your Co-Worker Day:

Tomorrow is the official "Slap Your Irritating Co-Workers" holidayy:

Do you have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working on your last nerve with tedious & boring details that you don't give a rip about?

Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws stuff up, thus creating MORE work for you?

Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty that you can look in their mouth & see your bosses' lunch?

Do you have a co-worker who is so obnoxious that when he/she enters a room everyone else cleas it?

On behalf of fed-up workers everywhere, I am very, very glad to officially announce tomorrow as SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY!

Still-Learning

It seems as if you have yet to learn that this is a forum and that's what people generally do on forums. Just because the topic is Cingular, doesnt mean all the talk in here is always going to be about Cingular.

Tried Cingular-->Returned phone-->No refund in 40 days!

Hello.

Question: When should one expect to receive a refund when returning equipment and canceling a contract during the first 30 days?

I purchased a Treo 650 on cingular and they were able charge my credit card in minutes. Now that I closed the account, paid my bill in full, and returned the equipment I still have not been told when I can expect to see my $449.

I think 40 days is enough for any business to issue a refund. Please keep this in mind when considering using a trial period. It appears easy and harmless. But it has taken a fair amount of time on the phone to actually get them to remove the early termination fee, close the account, figure out where to ship the equipment, etc. This process does not have all the ki...

Deposit/Reund question

When I started service with ATTWS in 2004, I had top put down a deposit of $200. I was told that I would get it back after a year, or if I cancelled, it would just be applied toward my bill. Well, I migrated to Cingy & now attws.com shows a credit due to me for the deposit.

Question:
Will the credit be rolled over to my Cingular account or will I be sent a refund. If sent, how long will this take?
