If cingular does not want to buy T-Mobile because its worthless is it possible just for cingular to buy all of t-mobile customers? 😕
...
Probably not. Unless Cingular improves their rate plans and customer service, many of us will stay with T-Mobile. You can't buy some people.
...
I am one of those people who will stay with T-Mobile because I like getting more. I don't like Cingular. Besides T-Mobile's plans are the best value for your dollar!
...
Yep. You can say that again.
...
You'd think they are trying to...There have been a TON of customers wanting to cancel recently because cingular has either sent them a flyer, or called them, or a retail rep has gotten a hold of them...
They all say the same thing... "Cingular said if I leave T-Mobile they will give me 2 free camera phones, and a free month of service if I sign up with a 2 year contract"
I'm usually able to save most of them with a similar offer...usually with more minutes, less contract term, and comparible phones.
...
how come when i called to cancel T-Mobile and go to Cingular because Cingular gave me a lower plan of 8.00 because of my discount through work, they didnt offer to compete? I would have gladly stayed with them over Cingular.

What's a lower plan of 8.00? 8 what?
...
im on a 39.99 plan at cingular..and they give me 18% off....so my plan is only 31.99 plus tax. They didnt offer anything to keep me or anything or I would have stayed.

We're happy if you're happy.
...
huh? dont you think they could have said like well give you more minutes to match cingular so you would stay or something?
...
It's difficult to compete with people who get discounts from work, or have their employer providing them with a free phone.
We can't just make up plans and minute packages, I wish it were that easy...but depending on the situation we can sometimes present a better solution. I was more so referring to customers with no business affiliation.
However let's say (for example), a customer with a need for 1000 minutes and unl nights and weekends with an $8 discount from their work goes with cingular. The closest you are going to get is 900 minutes, unl nights and weekends and mobile to mobile for $59.99-$8.00=51.99. Weather the plan is in your market or not, I can get a customer $39.99 for 1000 minutes, unlimited nights and weekends. you wa...

...
well had they offered me 1000 minutes and unlimited nights and weekends for 39.99 i woulda stayed but they didnt. I loved T-Mobile service.
...
I got the plan with 1000 mins and unlimited night and weekends and it is still available.
...
its not available in my area.
...
Oh? I thought it was available everywhere?
...
here its 45.99 or 39.99 with no nights and weekends.
...
ohhh. huh. thats weird. 🙄
...
Its only available on the West coast markets for $39.99 a month, everywhere else its $45.99 a month. Not bad, only $5.00 more for 400 extra minutes a month than I was getting on the 600 minutes plan for $39.99.
...
yup, and they wont offer me the other one so i dunno. I think if i get a new cingular phone some of my reception problems will be solved. Ive been talking to a cingular rep on here whos been very helpful. But you never know.
...
What phone do you have?
...
samsung e317. Worst phone in the world!!!! The guy checked my area and said the reception in my area is great, they have that checker like T-Mobile has. He said its my phone that cant hold a signal and the phone itself is cheap. He recomended the Nokia6102 or motorola v551, or some new ones coming out in september. I just want service I can use!!
Yesterday i was at my brothers softball game. Not many people at all...and i could barely hear on my phone at high volume. At times it lumps all the words together so i cant even hear. Its that bad. As soon as i connect on a call i lose all bars of service and it never holds onto them.
...
hmmm thats funny cause I have problems like that to. Its like the phone likes to be a bastard by showing you it has bars and then when u make a call they all go away. 😳
...
is it a samsung phone? on T-Mobile?
...
Ummm no. Its a Moto Razr on T-Mobile.
...
isnt that annoying!!!!
...
Yeah! Extremely! Especially when you are trying to send a text message to.
...
my samsung is the worst of all. I am boycotting Samsung from now on!
...
lol. my last phone I had with Sprint was a samsung and I thought it was pretty good. Especially the camera, it was pretty clear.
...
i dunno..im gonna give the new nokia flip a shot
...
thats cool. hopefully it will be good. Is it with Cingular?
...
yes the 6102, the 6101 will be with tmobile...same phone.
...
The 6102 has one minor difference that make it better than T-Mobile's 6101 version. The Cingular 6102 has FM radio built-in.
...
I am confused. R u a T-Mobile customer or a Cingular customer?
...
Cingular...was T-Mobile before.

Not really. They've done regional promotions many times before this.

For now it's only available as a promotional plan for western markets (Denver/Seattle/LA/SFO/SLC etc.)
...
R u on the West Coast?
...
thats why you have it, its not available if you are outside of the west coast market.
...
Ohhhhh I see... Thanks for clearing that up. 😁
...
actually, if you have a west coast market area code.
