I currently have Sprint, live in Florida and am considering switching to
Cingular. Can I be added to a family members plan, who live in NY, and
transfer my current Sprint cellphone number to my new Cingular phone?
Hope that makes sense.

You have to live where the other "members" live, just like with Sprint.

Only if you get a NY number. To be included in a FT group, all phones must
be billed to the same account and be from the same local billing system
(Area codes can be different, but they must be from the same MSA.

Don't do it. You'll be sorry.

Gee, I find Cingular vastly superior to Sprint because:
A) I got my Cingular plan before the current price increases.
B) I have Rollover (currently over 1500 minutes banked),
so I don't need to pay for 7 PM nights to try and decrease usage.
C) I have Quality phones (a v600 and a T637) that don't overheat in use
and pre-maturally die long before contract is up like plastic
CDMA Sanyo phones do. After 8 months my Cingular phones
look and act like new. Sanyo phones were failing after 3 months,
but would pass sprintPCS "tests"
C2) My Cingular phones have ample memory for ring tones and pictures.
C3) Comes time to upgrade my phone, I just move my SIM card,
no activation grief, no problems with transferring phone book.
C4) Having phones which are sold in the millions worldwide makes it
much easier to get accessories, and not be subjected to
outrageous accessory prices charged by Carrier.
D) With 850 MHz GSM I have better indoor reception than 1900 MHz CDMA.
E) With GSM I have better coverage in SE Texas.
F) With GSM I have better voice quality than CDMA.
G) I don't have L O N G hold times for Customer service, and I don't
get hung up on or lied to by reps with Handle Time
maximums to worry about.
H) With Cingular I have relatives that are also on Cingular for
free Mobile to Mobile, and free Mobile to Mobile is not an
extra cost or sometime add-on.
I) I kept my Mobile number when I ported to Cingular, and Cingular
credited me for the 3 days it took SprintPCS to release the numbers.
J) Should I go out of the country, I can still use my phone.
K) Dropped calls are flat not an issue anymore.
