If it is bought as a package deal and as close as anyone can figure the out
the problem is because they "moved" their towers, Yes pretty much.

Did they climb over into your backyard and disconnect the service?

Yes I am sure the dildo you own now has a digital remote as opposed to knob
on your old one.

Yes, good luck to you too, and no one should judge you on your lifestyle.

WHAT THE F#$K, MY NEW CINGULAR CELLPHONE STARTED WORKING. I ACTUALLY WAS
ABLE TO CALL OUT WITH IT. THIS MAKES SENSE, I HAVE A ACCOUNT AND MY PHONES
DO NOT WORK. I CANCEL THE ACCOUNT AND A DAY LATER THEY START WORKING.

The actually cancellation is effective November 12th. Should I just let it
go through and go about my happy way with another service, or should I
cancel the cancellation?

The $50 dollars is a deductible which you will have with any kind of
insurance.

TDMA has been being phased out for a couple of years with Cingular now.
It was even being phased out with AT&T. You could get a TDMA/GSM GAIT
phone two years ago which was when the transition began.

Cingular stores with Cingular signage are not always Cingular Corporate
stores. Some large agent companies can do the same kind of signage,
and do pretty much everything a Corporate store can do.

After two years in a two year contract you are eligible to "upgrade"
your technology. You get a new phone at a discounted price and better
service than earlier model phones. Comparing TDMA to GSM is like
comparing cassette tapes to CDs. Nobody likes to change technologies,
but sometimes its good to bite the bullet and do it. Now, new Cingular
GSM rate plans are a little more expensive than some TDMA rate plans,
but all of them include free long distance and free roaming. Free
mobile to mobile to all 50 million Cingular and AT&T customers. Most
TDMA rate plans do not.

You can't fault a company for changing technologies. That would be
like getting your panties twisted in the stone age when someone
invented a wheel or a metal knife. The world keeps spinning and
business is business. It's a competitive environment and Cingular has
given customers about two years to make the transition.

I will say that I feel your pain when it comes to service in store. It
really does sound like the store you went into was a poorly run agent
location. If you had come to my store I think you would have left
happy. Don't let this bad experience completely ruin it for you.
You probably have 30 days from the day you cancelled to return without
an early termination fee if you were still under contract. I say do
it. . . and e-mail me. . I can probably give you some tips on how to
get and upgrade for a decent price. (and that's not me selling it to
you. . .i'll just teach you how to talk to CS.

just a question, if you want to keep your phone#, just move it to
another carrier (Verizon, sprint,etc. )when you have them move the #
for you, would that automatically cancel your current cingular account?

It is a deductible.

Not necessarily -- "they" might simply have been confused or misinformed.

Towers aren't "moved."

I did not think that likely either. Their 'expert' words, not mine.

You're right. Towers aren't "moved" typically. TDMA towers are either
replaced or re-moved.

try "reconfigured"


They are more like self store buildings, the lease,
building, tower are owned by investor groups or listed
companies. Carriers rent tower space and rack space for
their antennas, transceivers and controllers. An operator
might have several paging companies, local cellphone
companies, and the nationals running their flavors of mts,
amps, tdma, cdma, gsm at the same location. Check the decks
of antennas on the tower.

Some of the nationals still own some of their own towers,
and even they swap space with other operators to fill-in
holes in their coverage. About 10 years ago, the carriers
decided it was better to be in the service business and not
be a property manager, building manager, construction
company and tower erector.

Google American Tower Corp and start your own cell company!
There are still investors setting on FCC frequency auction
winnings (you might not like your service area).
