Has Cingular Changed........
I used to have cingular about a year and a half ago, and I am in the Atlanta market. When I had it I had a Sony Ericsson z520a and about of other phones throughout cingulars line-up. Anyways, have they changed or modified there network in anyway compared to the cingular network I had last year? I loved AT&T wireless when I had it about 4 years ago. Do you think that they will change there network back to the way it was quality wise?

The network Cingular/at&t has is exactly the same network at&t wireless had, minus what they had to sell off. It was GSM. It's still GSM. They didn't flip some switch to make things crappy.
Of course they're always trying to improve towers, and add more, but that can be said for any company who isn't bankrupt. There isn't going to be any going "back", but things are always getting better.

There must have been something wrong with my local tower, because I just dropped calls left and right when I had full bars. I would have stayed and not gone to Verizon if they had only came and fixed the tower. I called cingular in dec 05 and told them my problem and two months went buy and they did nothing called again and submited another trouble ticket for the tower and two months went by and nothing happened and by this time it was affecting my business and I could not deal with it any longer so I had to switch to verizon. Cingular was a great network as a whole by the tower that was the closes to me was a POS. I checked to see what tower it was on www.mobiledia.com and it is not even owned by cingular it is called SBA properties or some...

They probably wouldn't have talked to you since you're not paying them any money to use their equipment directly. It could've been symptoms of Cingular merging the two networks together, but it's really hard to say. If you have any neighbors who didn't jump ship during that period, I'd ask them how their reception is currently.

Umm. Well. That would require going back to TDMA service, ditching 90 percent of their GSM network, and forming a messy network of roaming agreements with other carriers who are sunsetting their TDMA/AMPS networks.
