Don't Go with Cingular - Read This!
1 - Virtually impossible to access customer service. Has anyone tried to navigate through the extremely long voice-only activated menu?
2 - No customer loyalty plan. I have been a customer of AT&T Wireless for 5-6 years. I have not asked for a new phone in 3 years. I wanted to upgrade my service but wanted a good deal on a phone. At AT&T, given what I spend, I have always received a free phone or greatly reduced phone price. At Cingular, I was given the same price as on the internet or in the store for new customers. I questioned this and was told that Cingular's customer loyalty progr...

Did you folks ever wonder how this person might "help" our cause? This person may actually bring more customers to T-Mobile. If this they rant and rave about the hell Cingular/ATT is putting them through, they could help others possibly looking for a reason not to go with them, and sign with us. Don't be so quick to judge.
Finally a mature enough approach to things..... Thanks Amumey. I totally agree with you.
Cing does not state are you allowed to stream audio/video or not, if it's not allowed, I won't go
and MEdia works offer will be ending Jan15
said it's Jan 15
stop by Cing store, pick up MEdia pamphlet, and see the small characters on the back
and, if Data Connect don't let me use streaming audio/video for 79.99 plan/option, sorry, I'll lose all the appetite to Cingular
As far as streaming audio/video... Do you mean like From phone to PC or from another source to phone?
We have MobiTV, 6620 can control WinAMP from the phone, and some of our phones support MP4 playback... I think you're leaning more towards the realtime aspect which the 6620 offers... But that's more a phone feature than a network feature and the 19.99 MEdia works would cover it...
Once again, I am only assuming this is what you're talking about... if i'm wrong please explain.
use real/wmp/GSPlayer on pocket pc (Dell Axim, SX66 is too beaucoup)
because I listen real/wmp on the road a lot, plus shoutcast once EDGE is officially activated (64k or 128k shoutcast stream) on T-Mobile
I don't have big problem to use streaming audio over T-Mobile GPRS, except port 554 for realaudio (but most of radio stations have alternative port for real audio, or having streaming winmedia option)

You shouldn't have a problem

Real Player sucks! WinAMP is better! xD
AMEN! If you aren't careful, RealPlayer takes over all your existing media files, too and it's harder than heck to fix it!
I thought this forum was to discuss T Mobile, which that post does not do.....

My friend has Cingular and they are putting her thru hell with her phone!! She had the Samsung X427M and it was defected when she bought it! So she called Cingular they said no that it isn't defective to give it a few more days(how would cingular know without taking a look at the phone)! Then the problem still prestited so she called again for the second time!! They said that she waited to long but that can "SEE" what they can do(what a bunch of a**holes they are). So she sent it back. About 2 weeks went by(t-mobile only takes about 5 days or less)!!! She got the same defective one back!! So she called again for the "THIRD TIME"!! They said no we cannot do anything for you, you need to go and buy a n

I gave up trying to validate anything to sun... I saw the light... It's like arguing w/ an 8 yr old... No matter what he says... We're still bigger... 🤣 🤣 😛

Bigger?? 😳 More like Bigger cheaters!! You need to start taking this criticism like an adult rather than as a personal hit. Admit it folks, Cingular's Cust Svc is not near that of T-Mobile's, never was and if they continue their trends, they never will be! It's only their front office that can change it! End of story and enough said.
So instead of making maturity/immaturity remarks, learns to accept the direness of the reality about the products and services your company offers. More ...

I was referring to T-Mob and Cingular... No matter what valid points are made about T-mobile USA... Cingular is still bigger...
That's what I meant. Was not meant to be a direct attack on your maturity/immaturity... My previous post was also in humor...

And while Cingular may be BIGGER, granted they are, but they seriously need to make their Customer Service BETTER!!! Constructively speaking.
All seriousness though, I feel good about the steps the company is taking to revamp customer care.

No argument here... luckily... Customer Service can only get better because you can't get any worse than last place... 🤣

But still you have to feel like sheyat after AberFitchDude's post here. Still a sign of the current times. Read the Cingular forum, they mention that people MIGHT BE high on RETARD PILLS.....LOL 🤣
I don't know about feeling like excrament... Hopefully he just acts this way in the forums and not on the phones... I know there's alot of things i'll tell a customer in these forums I would never say on the phone.
Also though there's not too many people that can give credit to each provider... Most will be biased at one point... Especially in these forums.
Yeah, I saw the retard pill post... It was hilarious.

DON'T BE STARTING WITH THE YO' MOMMA STUFF. I DID NOTHING TO INSTIGATE SUCH A TOPIC AND IF YOU ARE A MATURE ADULT THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BRING THIS UP EITHER!!! 😲 IF THIS IS A TOPIC BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE THEN MAINTAIN IT THAT WAY. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BRING IN THE MENTION OF FAMILY MEMBERS!!! PERIOD!!!
More like Bigger cheaters!!
You tell me not to take things personally, so you need to learn how to recognize a joke. It was rather obvious since I NEVER type like that seriously.

Naw..I'm in to tough love. *pets jake* I don't hate you.

Well Jessi, the feeling is mutual here too although I never personally addressed an "I hate you" forum. I only said I hate Cingular because their Customer Service is......shall we say dislecsic?!? I mean come one woman, the writing is all over this forum that Cingular's customer service sorely needs work and if you are adult enough, then you wouldn't take this as a personal hit. After all we are here to express our opinions an isn't that what a forum is about in the first place? 🙄
And my hating you is my Opinion, too, And I'm EXPRESSING it.

Oh I don't care that you hate cingular. I hate you because of the way you go about advertising that you hate it. You're annoying, idiotic, and petty.
And my hating you is my Opinion, too, And I'm EXPRESSING it.
Right back at you too!
