    Would anyone know of a Cingular tower location website? I'm currently a
    Sprint customer looking to change becuase of poor reception at home. Sprint
    has a site, sprintsites.com, that shows all their towers. Was wondering if
    Cingular had something similar. Google searches have produced nothing. Want
    to see before I buy and try.

    Thanks,
    Stu

    They have a "select a carrier" feature, but that seems to be based
    on user input.

    Actually, Americans are more likely to be terrorists than foreigners. With all
    the murderers, rapists, wife-beaters, the bloods and the crypts and the
    KKK...it's no wonder it's easy for America to blame foreigners for ALL the
    problems.

    Tried that site, it's useless. All based on anecdotal evidence, people
    with varying phone models, varying degrees of issues, and primarily
    gripe-driven anyway.

    Re: Cingular tower location site?

    Saw that site but it just gives tower information and does not list what
    carriers use the tower. That is one thing Sprint does well is list their
    tower locations. I'm guessing Cingular does not want to make it available to
    its customers or potenetial customers.

    And, no, to the others. I'm not a towel-head terrorist. Just wanting to know
    if there is a Cingular tower near me. I'm just outside St. Louis in a
    somewhat rural area. I don't want to buy and try without some idea where the
    tower might be.

    Thanks to all,

    Stu

    Good site. I now know the location of my nearest Nextel tower. It would
    be nice if you could pick a city and also a service so that it could
    show you only the towers that serve that system. Thanks for the site info.

    I asked CellularOne for a list several years ago.
    I could come into their office and look at a map that had lat/long printed
    on it, but I could only get it by showing up at the office.

    If I look for "calistoga, ca", I get a Google map that shows the towers at
    Robert Louis Stevenson State Park. But the detail under each orange
    pushbutton looks like a tower owner, and not the radio owner.
    Is this different for your area?

    Which Cellular One did you go to? Aren't there 38 companies "doing business
    as" Cellular One?

    I didn't know any still were...
    I started with Redwood Cellular, who disappeared into Cellular One, then
    AT&T-Wireless and now Cingular.
    My bill said Cellular One at the top at the time.
    I think the customer service office that I would have to visit was in
    Fairfield, CA, about an hour's drive from my house.

    I think I missed that one. I was with Redwood Cellular in Napa until about
    95, when I could get a nearly free Motorola 550 to replace my 3w luggable
    phone by switching to Cellular One. Not long after I did that, Redwood
    Cellular was purchased by Cellular One.

    Now, 10 years later, I've only raised my Motorola model number by 1. ;-)

    Re: Cingular tower location site?

    That only seems to work when the carrier owns the tower. Here in MO, a lot
    of rural towers are ownen by a private company. Here's the listing on a
    tower near me: http://www.cellreception.com/towers/...php?id=1247452

    Carrier info is not provided though I was able to email the contact and
    found out. It would be nice if the carriers were listed on privately owned
    towers.
