Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / June 2005Service getting worse in Chester County, PA?
My wife and I are getting more dropped calls than ever before. Anybody else having such problems? The dead zones are more frequent than before. Per Brian Bernardini: >My wife and I are getting more dropped calls than ever before. Anybody >else having such problems? The dead zones are more frequent than before. It's probably not a fair comparison, but concidental with switching from Cingular TDMA to tMobile GSM, my service went right down the tubes. Sort of like when I was running NT 3.51 and didn't even know what "The Blue Screen Of Death" was - when I was on TDMA I had no concept of zero bars. Now it's a daily occurrance. Paoli, doing a lot of work up in Oaks - where it's *really* flaky. Going down the shore, no prob.

Service is fine further west (Central PA) and is easily much better than Verizon (I carry both - Cingular for personal and VZW for work). I'd call and let 611 know - they may be having tower issues especially if service was good and now is bad.

The dead zones are more frequent than before. I'm getting that in my area as of the last two to three weeks. Fortunately, I have a corporate CSR to work with. She's check with engineering; they swear they've made no changes. I have verified that it's not my phone, because the problem follows my wife's phone as well. We use Moto V180. I'm a blue customer, and I strongly suspect that you are, too. My guess is that blue customers are being shut out, slowly but surely, and that engineering is lying to me when they say they haven't changed anything. I can sit inside one building with no service, while a colleague sits next to me on his orange Moto V551 and has plenty of service. My next step in all of this is to get a blue Moto V551 out of them, and take it to this building to see if a blue V551 can get the same level of service as an orange V551. Maybe the V180 is just junk, I don't know. If it is, and if the V551 is good, AND if blue customers aren't getting screwed on signal, then my trying a blue V551 in this location will tell all. If, however, I get no signal with a blue V551 in the same place where an orange V551 gets plenty of signal, I'll know. And they'll hear about it. > In article > <bbernarWOOOAHdini-24EDE2.09242516062005@news-east.newsfeeds.com>, [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > If, however, I get no signal with a blue V551 in the same place where an > orange V551 gets plenty of signal, I'll know.

I'm on the blue side of Cingular, with a phone that isn't branded Cingular.

My old ATTWS contract expires in late July. I've got a good deal, and I plan to milk it as long as I can (I'm on TDMA). But if Cingular reduces the level of service, I'm jumping to Verizon. No tears, no scenes. Cingular will not go out of business if I leave, and I'm not going to let myself be driven nuts because I don't like their tactics of arm-twisting ATTWS customers into accepting higher rates. Screw Cingular! The motorola V180's have been know to have reception issues. I've had several customers on Blue and Orange with the 180's and they've had reception problems. If you are going to try another motorola product on Blue then try the V505 if you want to try an Orange motorola product tne try the V551. They are very simular in features but the V551 has the video camera. |
