Re: Cingular Cell Site Location Maps
You could try this site;
http://www.berkana.com/tower.php3
or this site;
http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/reports/state_sv.cfm
T-Mobile now has a good signal strength map available on their web site
that will show what kind of coverage signal you can expect with T-Mobile
service. Just go to the coverage map for your area, and then click on
the "street level coverage" tab.

Finally. Detailed Honest coverage maps, that apologists for Cingular and
SprintPCS say is impossible to do.
But there one is.

You are far better served to get a world phone and buy a prepaid sim in
the Phillipines. Ask your travel agent.

$1.99 per minute. That is not just rape, it is sodimization!!! I believe
that is higher than the per minute cost of a satellite phone.

That's incoming and outgoing minutes.
That is why it is not recommended (except by Company Agents) that you
roam overseas.

Is the link to SprintPCS towers.
In some areas both carriers may lease the same 3rd party Towers.
I am unable to locate on the Web a similar Cingular URL. Am I wrong or
is Cingular keeping this info secret.
Keep in mind, knowing where the towers are is not the same thing as
having an accurate Coverage map, although in some cases its more
informative than a typical coverage map, painted by marketing to omit
dead spots.
For Sprint users this link gives you the tower number, street address and a
picture. Don't know how well it would work on dialup, it can be slow on
cable. Used my email address and sprintpcs password to get in.

Re: Cingular Cell Site Location Maps
Actually, that is a really good rate for international phone calls, compared
to what hotels charge, plus you don't have to play phone tag. Try to make a
call back to the States from a Hilton overseas and you'll be shocked at what
they charge! For an executive who need to be reached on important
business, overseas roaming is a bonafide business expense.
But i agree that if you're on personal business, it makes more sense to buy
a local sim card along with a calling card for long distance calls.

Re: Cingular Cell Site Location Maps
A few days ago someone posted the FCC web site location where one could
download cell tower maps. I downloaded their Licensing Database Extracts,
cellular.zip and the ESRI GIS software. It seems to show only two
towers within a couple of miles, and both list Licensee GTE Mobilnet.
In fact I don't see any "Cingular" towers, though there are some that
say "Blue licenses". Should I take it that Cingular shares towers
with GTE Mobilnet, or that's an old name, or "Blue licenses" include
Cingular, or what?

It's an old name. GTE Mobilnet became part of SBC which then formed
Cingular. At least that's how it went down in Texas

Really? How did you check the accuracy?

Re: Cingular Cell Site Location Maps
No, GTE MobileNet became Verizon Wireless in Houston. Houston Cellular
became Cingular.
