My two years of a dysfunctional relationship with cingular are now up, and I am free at last to leave their dogshit service that routinely dropped calls in the middle of places like:
downtown seattle,
downtown portland,
downtown almost anywhere cingular covers.
sooo...now for the decision. Who to go with?
How many of you use Verizon, and are they worth a shit?
Time to dump Cingular and move to a new carrier...
Yea, I used Cingular for a two year contract as well. I dumped them the day after my contract expired. I also had dropped calls or no signal, in places like downtown, right around major business districts, and even my house, which is 3 miles from downtown.
Here in Nashville Verizon has great service. They are also about to introudce their wireless broadband service that will let you hook up a laptop or PC to your phone and get a decent speed internet connection. I think Verizon is going places.
Sprint is also a good carrier here, which is what I have. I'm happy with my phone, service, and the package I paid for, and I don't have any of the reception problems I had with Cingular.

Did you get the thing where you'd go from 5 bars to 0 bars in the span of about 2 feet in a metropolitan area...pretty much all the time? I was always dancing around the street trying to keep my bars up.R00k wrote:Yea, I used Cingular for a two year contract as well. I dumped them the day after my contract expired.

the worst was when a fucking call would drop, and you wouldn't know, so you'd keep rambling for 2 minutes and then see that the call was over...
Yep, the exact same thing. For a while, I would think it was because I had moved the phone to a bad place or something. I would move around trying to find the sweet spot again, but never found it. It was almost like their towers just had built-in EMP's that would randomly shut down service for no reason. It was ridiculously frustrating.
I can remember times I was asking myself why I even paid for mobile service, because it was so unreliable I almost completely stopped using it. I couldn't tell people to call me when we would be downtown around the same time, because I couldn't be sure I'd get the call. A lot of my friends just gave up trying to call me. It turned into a running joke for a while, because nearly everybody else I knew had Sprint or Verizon.
