Verizon & Tmob outshine Cingy!

Hear you have it folks the proof is in the pudding. Verizon better customer service and Tmob better customer service and better priced when compared to Cingular. So why is it then that Cingular is the biggest GSM company in the US?

"the verdict is that Verizon Wireless offers the most comprehensive coverage and best call quality, but T-Mobile ties for first or sometimes surpasses Verizon, especially in customer service, in which it is consistently rated as number one."

"Cingular customers reported dissatisfaction. Specifically, survey respondents warn customers to watch their billing, and one survey showed that subscribers had problems with overloaded circuits."

That's wonderful information, please post it elsewhere - productive discussion is not going to result from this. 🙂

Just trying to get to the bottom of why so many people complain and threaten to leave Cingular.
I think company employees should know this in order to move foward in making Cingular a better company.
On another note reasons why people dont leave is because of rollover minutes and being able to use a phone overseas unlike Verizon which cannot.

Shut up troll. Post this in the Verizon Forum or the T-Mobile forum.

You're looking for nothing more then an argument, what what you really need is a swift kick in the nuts.

Aww foamy was your beloved cingy attacked? Real mature come back! Reps. like you are obviously the reason that cingy rates so bad in CS

Yeah, Foamy, that was harsh, but I can't say I disagree with the general sentiment: there are better ways to bring up that question - asking a serious question after starting a flame war is not helpful for anyone.

🤣

I work for Verizon. Nice try though.

It doesn't matter who he's attacking. The fact of the matter is he came in here with a post that has no intent other than to start an arguement.

That's like driving out to Toronto and screaming CANADA SUCKS! You just don't do it because it's retarded, and in a real life environment, you'd probably get your ass kick, lol. 🤣

Calm down there sparky.

true true. I think all carriers are really not all that great. Come on, you know like one carrier has the best coverage, another has the most phones, and another has the highest ranked customer service, and so on. (But if we merged all the big carriers then that would be the perfect carrier...hmm something to ponder.)

Why should he have to post it elsewhere this is a cingular form and this post is dealing with cingy!
Also, last I checked you are not a moderator! When the "leading independent research co."declared cingy with the least dropped calls I didn't see you telling people to post elsewhere! So basically cingy fan boy I think this was a great post and I will continue to bump it

My point was that aside from the link (which isn't at all devoid of useful info), the post was basically "Cingular sucks, TM & VZW are better" - sorry, but there's enough of that crap going on - believe what you want about your carrier and other carriers, but don't waste time on here whining about how questionable claim A is refuted by qustionable evidence X.

As for the accusation of me being a fanboy, I refer you to my profile. 🙂
I'm not even going to begin to pretend that Cingular is the best at anything, but I do try to spread factual information when & where I can. The fewest drop calls thing is just hype, don't waste your time trying to stop an ad campaign.

I could have rethought the title, ok i get it.
I was only was trying to inform those involved with Cingular on a very informative article from a credible respected source. I was only questioning why. From here on out take it as you will. One thing I do hope is you are not involved in any type of customer servie for any customer.

many of the people here ARE customer service people who are using this forum as an outlet for them to say what they are NOT ALLOWED to say to customers while they are on the job

If you are going to state facts try posting something that is current. A post from March of 2006 is old news in the cellular game. Try posting something that is current & relevant.


What are you saying? That was three months ago? As in LAST QUARTER. Old news? You just didn't like what it said. lol.

4 months ago (not three as you stated) is a long time. Cingular has greatly improved their customer service & added many new towers. March 2006 was the First quarter not the last quarter. My point was if your going to state facts make them current - as in this quarter or last quarter.

If you all want to fight go ahead i will just sit back with some beer and chip/nachos/popcord.. etc and watch... anyone want to join. 😎

I will join, I posted those facts in about May or so. The only thing anybody is trying to do is state the facts. This does not mean that Cingular is bad because if it was than they would not have over 50 mil. customers, but at the same time it is saying that Cingy needs to improve somethings as a company, not as individuals within it. I am sure there are plenty of great individuals working for Cingy, and maybe because of the entire merging PROCESS this is the short term down fall of the merger. While we do not know exactly how well Cingy has improved since the last survey we will know in Oct. 06 when volume 2 comes out from JD Power and Associates. 🙂

If I were forced to choose a lager or ale, I'd have to go with Heineken. But for me, nothing, NOTHING beats a Guinness draught. That's some damn good stuff. 🤤 🤤 😁

If Cingular made a beer . . . nah, I won't go there. . . 😉 🙂
