Many should have BOTH Cingular and Verizon Service Plans, Here's why...
I have to repost this in it's own thread because there seems to be a constant fight between both users and employees. I have both and here is why you might consider that as well.
There is a great economic reason to get two phones along with MANY other reasons.
1. Instead of paying one carrier $100 and suffering with only their feature set and coverage You can pay 2 $50 each and have the BENIFIT of BOTH carriers and feature sets! No brainier there. Or split $200 etc.
2. You now have 2 numbers like most people have anyway, Except both are with you all the time.
3. Where one phone does not work usually ALWAYS the other will. Better coverage for the SAME outlay.

Oh no not another man with that purse thing or worse the gay zippered bag they wear on their belts. What do they call those swapmeet items again?
Briefcases are ok...but only to or from work. 😁

That might work for some people, but I had a dual nam phone some years ago and thought it was a pain to keep switching numbers when I had 1 phone. I couldn't imagine carrying around 2 phones. I'm scatterbrained enough.

It's much simpler today. First of all today's phones are much smaller and lighter. Second of all they have different and variable ringtones.
Its pretty simple really and you can forward to one or the other as well. Many people have multiple numbers anyway. I just carry all of mine around.

Makes no sense to me to carry T-Mobile and Cingular. Too much redundancy. Verizon is a much better opposite in many ways and in many many places.
...
I agree. What's the difference? T-mobile and Cingular roam off of eachother anyways. Get a quad-band phone from Cingular and you can use T-mobile whenever you want.

No you don't....I have to have 2 headsets because if I have my headset paired with the one phone, it won't pair with the other unless I turn the first phone off. Thus needing 2 headsets, or just resorting to using the handset on one.
...
why stop at 2? get a Cingular, Verizon, Sprint, Nextel, AND T-Mobile phone
...
🤣Cingular and Verizon more then fully represent the others in features coverage and price.
There is no freedom like having both Verizon and Cingular on month to month plans for less then $100 a month with the unique benefits of both technologies and a built in redundancy factor as well for free. 🙂

That'd be my friend. He has Cingular, VZW a pre-paid T-mo. Virgin Mobile, and a Boost Mobile.
And I thought I was a cell phone dork 😉 He's a trip. He can tell who/what works when and where. He travels just to try them out. 😡 I wish I had the money and freedom to do that.
...
yeah, i definitely agree with you since i have both a verizon and cingular phone as well. it's pretty much been wherever i am at least one of them works.
unfortunately i'll probably be getting rid of my verizon phone once christmas time hits. i just don't want to sign another contract and since i've been working at cingular most of my friend's have come over here. go figure.
and i have the cursed man bag as well.

i never miss a call with my one Cingular phone, so why would i need 2? if i miss a call, it's because i don't hvae the phone on me. if it's not on me, i don't want to bothered.
plus my cingular phone is free, so i pay NO bills 😉

must be nice to not work at a call center. but then again, if a customer upsets one of my agents they can put them on hold for a minute and calm down, you can't really put a customer on hold in a store.

they don't bother me, its all talk. i don't get too many that get out of control, maybe 1 a month. i USED to work in call centers for a few years with other companies, so i know how to calm people down very well. PLUS, i get practice with letting my wife vent when she needs to, LOL...
when i left my last call center job, i vowed to never work a call center again. 😉

LOL not exactly my reason but valid. Especially for those who cannot stand the thoought that there is a phone out there better then theirs.
You know the "I gotta have that new phone" type. They pay $200 and sign their options away for two years. I buy the same phone for the same or less months later and stay month to month.

Ok, staying month to month on both networks is the dumbest thing I have heard. You have to be in a contract to get the "in network" or the m2m calling with VZW and Cingular respectively.
Based on you not entering contracts, having 2 phones with 2 carriers has to be the dumbest thing I have heard. Because you don't get the FULL feature set that you originally discussed.

Ah but thats where you need to be a tad smarter. You enter the minimal contract period to get the "goodies." After a year you still have the goodies an no contract.
I agree it would not be very smart at all to initially sign up on a month to month basis.
I did not lose any features I originally contracted for when my initial obligation ran out.
There is no real incentive to renew for me. All they offer are phones and I buy my phones used at a bargain months after they were popular.
I believe it is smart not to obligate yourself after the initial contract. In fact if everyone did just this the business would have to change. Using the phones as carrots would not work. The carriers would have to offer a greater incentive to get peopl...

I can't wait that long for a phone. I MUST have it within the month it comes out.....that is if it is a phone that I want.

Exactly and the Carriers are all over that. The expensive new phones that people get bored with are my advantage,
It never pays to buy on the "bleeding edge" of anything. The payments last (or contract) long after the "Wow" factor fades. The frustration sets in waiting for your "ear...
