V551 drops sync after 6 to 15 minutes of connections

Cingular - Motorola drops sync after 6 to 15 minutes of connection! I have
been in contact with Cingular Customer Service about all my calls dropping
after 6 to 15 minutes of connection with land lines or other cellular
users. This was duplicated with other users and verified by Cingular that
Motorola has sent out a quick fix for this problem. It may be a quick fix
but not acceptable by all.

Problem: when talking to a friend or contact and your connection is
stationary to one cellsite and exceeds 6 minutes, your connection starts to
fade away and you drop sound from oneside of the connection. If you hold
on during the "are you there?" time, you have a 50/50 chance of
reconnection.

Their Quick Fix: They informed me that all of Motorola phones (my phone is
a V551) need to be Power Recycled within 3 days or the phone would could
loose sync. What is means is that we must power-down the phone as if we are
on an airplane for 15 seconds before we can place the phone in the battery
charger. This way the phone will re-sync to Cingular network.

I'm appalled at this option no where in the Motorola Manual or Cingular
website states this to be done. I have requested to exchange my Motorola
for any other cellular manufacture. All they would do is replace my
Motorola phone and state that the problem will continue. and I must remember
to power-down the phone every 3 days or sooner.

My Siemens S46 phones (3 units) that I had for years never needed to be
power down when used on the ATT /Cingular network. Why now?

I've used V551, V400 and V600 in business conference calls lasting more than
an hour at a time on Cingular and never experienced the problem you
described.

And I never power down the phone, just charge it at night. Something
doesn't read right with your scenario.

I have had V551's for about two weeks now. They replaced V400's that never
worked. I have similar problems and I personally know others with this
problem. Cingular has replaced the phones with no change. The lastest step
was to verify SIM serial numbers and IEMI numbers that were incorrectly
entered into thier system. Only time will tell.

Also I checked the Cingular web yesterday in the Philadelphia area, the only
Moto thy are offering is the V3...... Funny the NEW V551 has been removed!!

I have a V551 and Cingular service in the Seattle area. No issues as you
describe. I use the phone for conference calls all the time, exceeding 15
mins. I also never power down my phone it goes onto the charger every night
when I return home from work.
