It's excellent. I live in Garden City and sell Cingular services in Canton. Everything works great for me. The only problems I hear of are around Ford's headquarters in Dearborn. Let me know if you have a specific area you're wondering about. tz

Cingular Pride
Feb 18, 2004, 10:51 AM
in the AT&T forum
I have to say that I'm proud to be a Cingular agent. All these guys on here run Cingular down and talk about how great Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and whoever else is. But think about it: Cingular has converted to GSM in a brief period of time and is now acquiring its next biggest GSM rival. Say what you want, but no other company is as aggressively moving forward on a nationwide scale. And what ...

Does anyone have any inside info on the AT&T sale/merger/whatever-you-wanna-call-it ??? What will the impact be if the SBC crowd acquires ATTW? Is this good for the American GSM arena? -tz

That nationwide M2M is on and off network and depends on caller ID for billing purposes. When you size it up, it's a bigger nationwide M2m area than any other carrier, including the V word. Where else can you get one map for voice, data, m2m, etc? It's a one size fits all plan with huge potential.

None of us can get ours to work either. Our are Motorola rep was at our meeting this morning and he cited 3 problems with the v400: Motomixer Battery life Display freeze-ups Other than that it's an awesome phone. My battery is so so, and my motomixer is not functional, but who cares?

I know it's going to have speakerphone, but I didn't know there was any PTT feature included. That's a surprise considering that phone has been so weak in terms of performance.

Moobak's Vendetta

This guy hates Cingular. They must be doing something right. My store is on pace to double last year's December numbers. Cingular is #2 and is not in any danger of going lower. Once they buy T-Mobile or ATTW it'll be a done deal and Cingular will be on top. Stop denying the inevitable. tz

Yeah, you're right. That was caused by WLNP. And obviously ATTW screwed that one up too as we all know. ps Why would you need to interupt service to upgrade WLNP software? tz

Are you serious? We've had more problems with Samsung than LG. The LG 4050 has been good to my store. All of our customers who have purchased them love them. So I can't agree with you there. tz

Not to worry, AT&T would become Cingular, not the other way around. BTW... Today in Michigan and Ohio Cingular brought back the 1000 anytime rollover minutes for $39.99/month.

I looked into my facts just like you told me to. If Cingular doesn't plan to buy out anyone, then why did Cingular's CEO say, "If there is going to be consolidation, then I expect to participate -- and not as a seller." If he's not going to be a "seller," wouldn't that make him a "buyer"? And wouldn't being a buyer mean you buy something? SBC and Bellsouth have the ability to fund the purchase outright. ...

Good--maybe it won't be as expensive for Cingular to buy them out then. tz

Re: verizon & gsm?
Nov 24, 2003, 6:10 PM

What kills me are all these CDMA guys who bash Cingular and its GSM system, then Verizon starts offering a phone with CDMA for the U.S. and GSM for world roaming. That means Verizon admits to the global force of GSM. If they are so cutting edge, why are they offering a phone with "inferior" GSM capabilities. I don't think Verizon is as advanced as they think they are. tz

VX-6000 coverage

I understand that the VX 6000 does not use analog. How does that affect nationwide coverage? Obviously there are places where one would rely on the analog system. Anyone have a map??? tz

Cingular Merger

I TOLD YA SO. I brought it up and look what pops into the headlines. All you guys said it wasn't going to happen, but Cingular will buy out either ATTW or T-Mobile. So all you CDMA fans better look out because Cingular will be #1. tz

PS Cingular launched EDGE already, including the world's first EDGE phone, before any other US carrier. No one's trying harder than Cingular.

So is everyone saying that Cingular's phones are no good? Granted, the 5165 days weren't cutting edge and a lot of the new "free phones" are sub-par, but they're making strides. I use the Nokia 6200 and I love it. And Cingular's pushing ahead--they're the first GSM carrier to put out the Treo 600, so they can't be THAT far behind the times. Maybe I'm biased because I sell their products. I just don't ...

Yeah, they do. There are two others on Nokia's website. Check it out sometime.

I know where Cingular's spectrum is, but I didn't think that coverage from ATTW was available yet. It's still marked as future coverage. Are an agent in Detroit? tz

I know that, I live and sell Cingular in the Detroit market. I'm talking about the rest of southern MI. Places like Kalamazoo along the I-94 corridor.

I've never used my GSM in So California, but it looks like Cingular has good coverage there. Cingular received poor customer service ratings a while back, so they recently hired literally a couple thousand reps to bring hold times down.

Is AT&T Wireless stil selling mobile phones? You sure don't hear much from them these days.

I'm in the Detroit market. It's a great phone. I sell Cingular products and my phone blows away the fancy flip phonse like the T720 and S307 that my co-workers use. If you get it though, you have to get either the camera headset or the speaker stand. They're both awesome little additions. And of course, this is the world's first EDGE phone! I definitely recommend it.

The VAST majority of Cingular customers don't get anywhere near the 5000 minute limit. That's 83 and a third hours. If you're going to complain about it, you better not be on a $29.99/month plan. tz

Re: Is GAIT being used much?
Oct 27, 2003, 10:13 AM
in the Techs & Trends forum
At my (Cingular) store, GAIT is about 5% and GSM 95% of total activations. Of course, it depends where you are. In Dallas/Ft. Worth GAIT would have been much higher of a percentage in anticipation of Cingular turning on their GSM. tz

Yeah, I heard about the Bellsouth buying AT&T thing Friday. We'll see what happens. That proves even further that AT&T is in no position to buy Nextel. tz

That's crazy. Cingular does crazy things like that sometimes. For instance, if I live in Detroit and I have a GSM phone that works on 850/1900 and I go west on I-94, the phone will say no service. But I know for a fact that if someone with the exact same phone(850/1900) comes here from NYC, their phone will work. It's got something to do with your home id codes. You would think it ...

:P Yeah, whoever told you that a GSM 850 phone will work on 900 is crazy. Besides, he's right. The only 900MHz coverage is in Washington D.C.
