Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / January 2006Should I move to cingular?
I am with tmobile since Omnipoint !:) but looks like cingular starts offering more features than TMo - push to talk, rolling very high speed data very soon, more phone choices. Is anyone knows about TMo planes to "catch up" with rest providers? We used to have all features first: sms, mms, color screen phones (siemens s12) now we are behind all :( > I am with tmobile since Omnipoint !:) > but looks like cingular starts offering [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > sms, mms, color screen phones (siemens s12) > now we are behind all :( How's Cingular's network coverage compared to T-Mo's in your area? That's the most important question to ask, before considering the bells and whistles...

I had terrible problems with them several years ago, and as a matter of principal I've resolved to have nothing to do with them. They likely have better coverage than T-Mobile in the US, and yes they seem to have more phones/features at this point. I can't speak to pricing. I also understand that T-Mobile will SIM-unlock phones purchased from them after a "reasonable" time period (1-3 months?) but that Cingular will not do this. I pretty much feel that I have "enough" from T-Mobile at this time to be fairly happy with them, and I must say that I've been very pleased with their customer service. If you don't need international roaming, you might look into Verizon Wireless, who I think has the best coverage of any of the carriers in the US, but since they don't use GSM they don't have "international" phones (except for, I think, one or two dual-technology models at pretty steep prices). Hope this helps. _KMP I am a cingular user who switched from t-mobile because of coverage issues. If t-mo had adequate coverage I'd prefer it because of customer service and data plan prices.

Haven't switched (yet...), but otherwise I'm in 100% agreement. SignaturePeteCresswell Per (PeteCresswell): >Haven't switched (yet...), but otherwise I'm in 100% agreement. And I was a Cingular user for several years before switching to tMob... but I'll probably be back on Cingular within a few months. In spite of Cingular's poor customer interface they do seem to have better coverage in my area - and that's what counts to me. SignaturePeteCresswell > I am a cingular user who switched from t-mobile because of coverage > issues. T-Mobile now roams Cingular's 850 MHz coverage in many (not all) areas. So, the coverage issue is not as severe as it once was. (Still no GSM service in Chadron, Nebraska though. That's always been my personal test for when GSM will be "good 'nuf".) SignatureDonald R.

That's always been my personal test for when GSM >will be "good 'nuf".) I'm not sure "many" yet applies. Now that I have a quad-band device, I'm testing the roaming capabilities in Cingular's 850 mHz territory. Far more times than not, I've not been able to authenticate onto the system. In fairness, however, T-Mobile has updated its coverage maps to include 850 coverage, so all one has to do to see what their coverage will be now is to look at the current coverage maps. > I am with tmobile since Omnipoint !:) > but looks like cingular starts offering [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > sms, mms, color screen phones (siemens s12) > now we are behind all :( If you're in Wisconsin, go with Einstein PCS. Unlimited GSM plans. http://einsteinpcs.com/airadigm/service+plans/default.asp Welp, I would say it depends on the coverage in your home area. I'm in the DC Metro area and T-Mo is great, I always have service and their pricing and customer care dept are top notch. Never had a problem unlike Sprint. >I am with tmobile since Omnipoint !:) > but looks like cingular starts offering [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > sms, mms, color screen phones (siemens s12) > now we are behind all :( |
