Cingular Service

Im currently at alltel and there service is pretty good but their phone selections suck.I was wondering is cingular service any good because I've all of a sudden been hereing its no good. Im really interested in the CU 500 and CU 400 and I don't want to beg my parents to switch to cingular then the service is no good. So plz someone help me. I was looking at the 2 year contract for the family plan with 2100 min for $109.Thanks.

You're going to have to search if Cingular coverage will be satisfactory in your area. I'd also call Cingular and talk to a CSR about the coverage.

I was a Verizon customer for 3 years. I just switches to Cingular in the Houston area. Love the phones I can buy, the MUCH longer battery life but don't like the following:

- 5 dropped calls this week - rarely - RARELY happened on the CDMA network (Alltel, Sprint, Verizon)
- Poor call quality

This is using 2 different GSM phones too - so it's not just a poor phone - both Motorolas though.

Anyway, everything is a tradeoff. Right now, I like the phone selection and the battery life. If call quality and not getting dropped is of utmost importance, I would say stick with Alltel - in my opinion based on my expereince here in Houston.

Stick with alltel and buy an extended life battery for your phone. Phone selection sucks at alltel but in my experiace they blow cingular away in call quality and customer service....I'll take that over the latest and greatest phone anyday.

Thanks yall, anyway Im sticking with alltel and will either get the samsung U420 or the razr.
