Who is running this company? They can't seem to do anything right. I'm hoping the rumors i hear of Telephia suing them for their current fewest dropped call ad campaign are true as well. What a patheticly run corporation.

The fewest dropped calls claim is not Cingular making the claim it is a consumer reports company making the claim.

Cingular has the fewestr dropped calls in my area, because the calls often don't go through in the first place! How many times in a row do you get thhe "Network Busy" message? I got it 9 times today, and didn't call during typically busy hours. Again, CINGULAR SUCKS!

Telephia is not suing Cingular for their fewest dropped calls claim, they are the company that is backing it up.

What you may have heard is that Sprint filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau over Cingular's claim. Cingular then in turn counter-sued Sprint for their own faulty claims as the "Most Powerful Network." Cingular also wishes to have a court ruling decide that their own dropped calls claim is indeed true. And that is no rumor.

Actually yes it is Telephia. They released a letter via the NY Times(wish i still had the link) stating they are not sure how Cingular has come to the conclusions they are displaying on their current ad campaign. Telephia doesn't go to any one carrier and say "Hey, you guys win." They only release the raw data to the carriers to interpret for themselves and they have stated their info does not back the claims Cingular/SBC/AT&T or whatever they are this week is making. I've read the press release but the legal actions are only rumors i see popping up in forums here and there.

Well you see, there are two statements that Telephia has released.

1. Saying that yes, Cingular did have the lowest dropped call rates over several markets and time periods.

2. Saying that they were unaware exactly how Cingular came to the conclusion that they are the carrier with the fewest dropped calls.

Note that they never said Cingular wasn't. Telephia is not suing Cingular. We can put that rumor to rest for now.
