No.1  I can talk on it, no dropped calls, that's why I carry a phone, not to
surf the net, send text messages  or to take pictures. But to TALK on
Cingular does that for me!!

Why should we?? If you don't like Cingular, then go away. You don't want
info... you just want to whine.

1.  You like Cingular and you use Cingular.
2.  You don't like Cingular and you use Cingular.
3.  You like Cingular and you don't use Cingular.
4.  You don't like Cingular and you don't use Cingular.

There are four possible reasons.  Which one will you choose?  Well, we
can't say, because then *we* would be choosing instead of *you*.

I think you already know that answer to that one.

TH

the only reason you should use cingular is if you like their service and you
know alot of people that use cingular and will benefit there m2m system.

You're trolling.  But anyway.

1. Friends might use (free minutes)
2. Selection of Phones (RAZR)
3. Rollover minutes
4. might be stuck in a contract :)
5. GSM standard (a necessity for people who travel to Europe)

That's 5 reasons.  But then, you only list two why one should NOT pick
Cingular.  Well one really, seeing as you don't want us to even "ask"
about data (by the way, Cingular HAS EDGE know, you know that right?).
And even that reason is based entirely on your opinion.

The point is, not every carrier is perfect for everyone.  You may hate
Cingular, but others may find that it suits them perfectly.

And no, I'm not a Cingular customer.  I on Verizon.  Still, I don't
troll around and tell people they're idiots for picking Cingular.
Everyone has a reson for why they've chosen their carrier.  It's called
freedom of choice, and it's a wonderful thing.

  They didn't want a $200 deposit.
  Customer service is better than Verizon.
   $20 data plan.

   Voice quality does suck, unless your looking at the tower.

Don't know about 10 reasons, but I don't *need* 10 reasons. All that matters
to me are-

It works. Virtually everywhere I go. Across the US, and I never have to
worry about roaming charges (unlike my brothers' "nationwide" coverage on
Verizon, which frequently picks up a roaming carrier and attendant charges,
almost randomly, at least in Madison, WI). And it works in France & England.
So wherever I go, Cingular does the job for me.

Coverage gets better and better. Seriously, since the merger, coverage has
been great. At a time when everyone seems to be complaining that their
coverage is getting worse, mine is getting better.

Momentum. I've had it for quite some time (former AT&T since... 1997?).

  Their customer service is terrible. The ONLY reason that I stick with
them is rollover.  I have 4 phones in a family plan and a bank of 6000
minutes.  For months that I have heavy usage I never spend more than my
monthly plan.  When I was with T-Moble I would get $700 bills everyonce
in a while when I used my phone too much.

If Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile don't have service where you need it,
go with Cingular.

THAT shold be the most compelling reason.  All other reasons are secondary.
