anybody here tonight?

Hi all. Im an ATT customer for many years and have been month to month for the past couple. Im looking to get a new phone. I have been using a Motorola V60 and I'm hearing the GSM band on ATT is seriously lacking. Because Cingular is buying out ATT would a move there now prevent the need for another phone when the deal is complete?

The phones I am looking at are the V400 and T637. I suppose if I wait a little while Nokia will have a phone with like features as the ones I mentioned. Cingular has these phones at quite a bit of savings over ATT as well. If I just buy a phone outright as it does not cost too much more than ATT's current prices, will ATT ask me to sign a contract?

AND IT GETS WORSE EVERY DAY

We can say what we want it is FREE SPEECH, LOOK IT UP. It is hard to care about the customer on every call when you have sups and and managers that dont give a rats ass about you or your family or anyone else. A girl that worked here last year was on a final warning ( I know, its her fault ) and her father had a stroke and she was 15 min late and got canned. At my wifes job they dont care about how much time you have, how much is left, late from break, take lunch when you want or any of that. If you have a doctors note you get paid. There are no " OCCURENCES ", tardies or any other BULLSHIT like that. You get sick time which is paid to a point but if there is a doctors note it does not come out of sick time. Next job I get until my sc...

Considering a jump to AT&T-W, but concerned about reception in the Los Angeles area.

I would be getting the MXP200 to use for phone calls and internet browsing.

Specifically, interested in knowing where any no-reception spots might be here in town... Melrose Avenue? (I live near Melrose and Fairfax.) Laurel Canyon Drive? Sunset above Santa Monica? Etc.

All responses appreciated!

I have been taking calls for AT&T Customer Care for quite a while, and I haven't heard really any complaints about the V600. However, I owned one for a short time and always got errors when trying to send MMS, and trust me, I tried every solution there was, with the exception of returning the phone for another. Anyone else experience similar issues?

My question is, if i were to buy to motorola v400 for example, or any other phone from cingular, would it work with att, if it was unlcoked?? Would i still get all features, including Mmode, internet, and everything else. how would i do this??

I am interested in purchasing an att wireless phone around mid june, i really want a flip pone with external caller id for gsm service....do you have any recommendations, are there any good phones that will be out by then, that fit my criteria. I dislike the Motorola T720 and the Samsung X426 doesnt have external caller id. The motorola v600 is too expensive and the smartphone and NEC are too high tech....any recommendations??? What is the best flip phone?? I heard of a phone called the samsung e316, is that supposed to be good, when will that be released??

anyone around tonite???????

Greetings,

This may be in a FAQ somewhere, but I couldn't find it, so excuse me if I ask a common question.

I am considering upgrading my Motorola T720 (GSM) to something new... perhaps a V600 or one of the other 850/1900 capable GSM phones I see out there. If I were to buy a new phone (say an unlocked V600) on the net, is there anything special I would need to do (other than move the SIM from one phone to the other) in order to make that phone work on the AT&T network?

Of course, if I elect to go with the V600, I could save a few bucks and pick it up at the AT&T store. However I am a bit hesitant to do so, since I'd like the option of being able to swap SIM cards, given I may be traveling abroad later in the year. Plus I don't w...

Does anyone know the tentative release date of the new Samsung P710/716 (I think those are the model numbers) picture phone for AT&T Wireless???

i'm looking for work and a friend of mine said to look at at&t retail. he told me he made about $7k in one month! Is this true? he said because at&t needs to have a decent sized customer base for the cingular takeover they are overpaying their sales reps. is this true?

So I go into an ATT store today to renew my contract and get a V600...(Really want the V400)

They tell me my promotional 200 minutes (650) total for 39.99 will dissappear and I will have to pay $300 for the phone!!!!

SO I figure since ATT and Cingular are using the same network I can get 450 roll over and the V400 and keep my number by switching to Cingular .The V600 is less money there as well! But I would rather buy a Jabra BT system as an option if I need it and I can use it for future non BT phones as well.

I did not think ATT was so quick to lose a seven year customer, but I guess they are doing well.

Its no wonder ATT took the biggest hit from number portability losses.............

I have been with ATT in Las Vegas for 7 years. Over the past year I have not been able to use the cell in my home (TDMA) nor could any ATT user. Cingular worked fine.T Mobile was fine. Verizon was spotty. Im wondering if now that Im off contract and can switch carriers whether or not the Cingular/Att deal will help.

I am looking at T Mobile seriously.

Verizon is not on my list. (too expensive and since I travel a lot and am in AC NJ right now)
A few of my cohorts who have Verizon cannot get easy signals here. T Mobile users here seem to get signals where all others fail though.

But mostly Im in LAs Vegas and I know this differs from coast to coast. I like ATT but the empty promises of service have got to me. If the deal does not go...

I am currently with another company and I forgot to pay my bill one month while I was in the hospital. I know this was my responsibility so I did pay the reconnect fee but it was $36.00 per line. I have 4 lines!!!! $148 dollars! sheesh kind of steep... what is the att reconnect fee per line?

If Cingular is mergering(buy out) Attws, why would anyone want to join attws?
Would someone explain the advantage(s) to joining attws at this time?
They opened an Attws in the Gainesville, FL. Oaks Mall here, and the people who run it can't answer simple questions. And three of the four never heard of "phonescoop". Could attws hired more uninformed people?
A few months ago I dropped attws, I can see why now more people are doing the same now. 😲

YES, IT IS BLOCKED, AND WE ALL KNOW WHY THEY DID IT. DON'T LET THEM WIN; WE WILL SHOW THEM, PLUS I AM GONNA EMAIL JOHN ZEGLIS! WHY DON'T WE ALL DO IT?

For those of you who are challenging AT&T because they chose 1900 and no 850...

Just to make all of you aware...

Yes, ATT GSM was brought out on 1900 only, but the reason for that was because of the future...AT&T is not looking back in the past. The UMTS WCDMA network operates on 1900, and not 850 AT ALL. Going back to 850 would be like using your spare tire when you have a brand new one to use. What would be the point? You can only go 55 on the spare...

I have a new service on AT&T wireless that let's you identify music by pressing pound 43 on your cell phone. You can use this service to build your playlists. What would be the best way to tell people about this?

I'm currently a Cingular customer and am now looking at my contract options with AT&T as well as Cingular. My situation is that I travel extensively (U.S. and International). I would dearly love to have just one phone and swap out SIM cards as needed.

As well as my Cingular contract I have service in the U.K. with o2 (GSM 900/1800) and in Australia with Optus (major cities GSM 900/1800 rest of country GSM 900). Of the countries I travel to the most, nearly all have GSM 900/1800 services (the exception being Japan - but that's a whole 'nother ball game anway ;-).

My concern with getting a new phone and service with AT&T or Cingular is the use of the 800(850) band as well as the 1900 band. Most of the tri band phones I'm interested in...
