And they expect to compete how???? On the basis of their predominantly large but mostly phantom network in addition to having the 50 million plus customers??? Big Whomp! Your (Cingular's) network to start with stinks! And at the rate that customers are porting out from their, the countdown of customer flux out has started and so pretty soon, the 50 million total count may not be entirely true.

I was recently watching one of Cingular's "more bars in more places" commercial, and I noticed some fine print. Using TiVo, I instant replayed and paused it. There they admit that the "more bars in more places" isn't comparing them to other companies, as most customers would assume. They're comp...

Many would say that Verizon does not have the nations's best network, but yet they make claim to having it. How? Disclaimers. Ever notice the little white text at the bottom of Verizon commercials stating that the claim is based on their OWN drive tests. Yeah, let me drive test my own network and I'm going to drive right where I know a call won't drop.

I've never seen a disclaimer in T-Mobile's commercials because they don't boast about their coverage. Probably simply because they have nothing to boast about (in comparison to other companies).

Even Cingular's CEO admitted in an interview that Verizon had the best network, an' that Verizon was the benchmark he was hoping to beat in a couple of years. Hard ta find a better endorsement than that.

I'm not arguing whether or not Verizon has the best network. My point was that they simply make claim to that through their own drive tests and a DISCLAIMER.

I agree that Verizon's network is hard to be beat, but guess what? Cingular's network does the trick, at least everywhere I have been.

We still beat them by $10 bucks.

and for the same price you can get free nights and free weekends on a 1 year contract.

That's great and all, but T-Mobile's lacking just one thing for me. Reliability. Their service just isn't cutting it with everywhere I go, save $10 or not.
