My phone has been nothing more than a paperweight since about five Friday
afternoon.  My friend has a non GSM cingular phone and he is having no trouble
at all.  His phone is working just fine.  The really crappy thing is when you
call my cell phone you get a recorded message saying ...

Sunday, 1:30 AM, my car died.  It blew a spark plug from a recent tune
up.  Later on that day I called a tow truck.  Not only did they know
that I was on a cell phone but they knew my location before I even said
anything.  

I spoke with a Cingular tech once and it sounded as though he had access to
a very detailed coverage map.
By the fellows address he was able to tell me that he was in an area with
medium coverage or signal strength or some such term. I have done some

Before it was inundated with Do Not Call crosspostings...

Has anyone changed plans to GSM in Austin, TX? If so how is the service
quality?

I'm suprised local radio and TV advertising is still featuring the 3560 Color

Verizon has great phones and plans.... Cingular has one advantage, it owns

Why can't i use the SIM card from my 6340i in the Sony Ericsson T616 i
picked up yesterday from the cingular store? i was under the impression
this was possible. i ended up having to leave the store purchasing a new
sim card and losing all my TDMA and AMPS coverage. This puts me ...

I posted the other night about being able to upgrade my phone now that
my contract is up, and was informed that i will be eligible.  however, i
have a few more questions regarding how cingular will deal with someone,
like me, who is on the old nation plan (w/o any roaming charges).  ...

I am on Preferred Nation 350, at 39.99/month.  I have a friend who has a
 Motorola v60i, who bought to activate on Verizon, but cannot.  I am
still in contract, and I want to add a second line.  Would I have to
extend my contract if the secondary phone was paid for in full (at

I have my plan with two phones in New York. I want to buy my mother a Cell
phone for her birthday which I will be paying the bill on. Can I add another
phone to my plan but have a phone number for her in Florida that will be
local for her?

I've been reading the posts on here for the past 6-8 months...I'm amazed
by all the horrer stories with all the wireless carriers.  I have had
Cingular, T-Mobile, and SPCS and never had any problems....NONE, and
maybe in the past Decade only 2-3 dropped calls.  I'm starting to ...
