I'm currently still with ATT and waiting for a good plan on cingular to switch over. i have 1050 minutes with early nights and unlimited mobile to mobile right now for $40. the problem is i get disconnected like its my job when i have full signal... so does anyone know when rate plans will increase by any chance? or any suggestions on my disconnection problems? thanks

im not familiar with that phone, so i dont know why you would be dropping calls, unless there was a problem with the 850 band on the antenna. that could be a reason why Cingular doesnt carry it, and ATTW did. With the buyout, your IRDB might have changed to search out 850 first, instead of 1900 first

no plans are changing anytime soon. what would they change it to? the "orange" plan already has rollover and unlimited M2M. if they were to increase the minutes, they would have to increase all the minutes above it as well, which they did on some plans last month. the $59.99 went from 850 to 900, and they added a 69.99 plan wi...

... that's a great plan! Almost as good as my promo plan from last November, 1,000 & rollover at $40. I only use about 200 min/mo. N&W so my plan is perfect for me.

In order to hold onto your plan, I wonder if you could buy an unlocked phone (my T-637 works great on Cing nationwide system) ... only 50 to 100 bucks on eBay. Just a dumb customer here but if your SIM would work in it ... these Cing reps know the scoop.
