Just my little rant and rave over the iPhone

[lavrishevo]

Just like to make a few comments on Cingular.

I do an absurd amount of traveling for my work. I basically spend 2-3 weeks out of every month going to every major city and many a small town in the United States. I use Cingular and their 8125 PDA phone and have been very happy. I have never been in a location and not had reception, actually let me rephrase, in a location where I stayed. Now here and there, if I was driving, and truly out in the middle of nowhere I have been out of reception for a short period of time but what network can claim not to have this.

My home base is Puerto Rico and I get reception great here as well, St Thomas is also great with good Internet speeds to boot.

Cingular is a good company and may not work for all but it does for many. By the way I do not work for them and I am not affiliated with them whatsoever just sharing my experience.

Plus I am happy to get unlimited Internet, text/multimedia messages and plenty of min for my use for about $80.00 a month including all taxes, not to shabby.

BTW I have no plans and getting the Iphone, verry happy with what I have now....lol

Being that my parents have paid off a T-Mobile family plan for a few years so I basically have *ZERO* phone bills, it would cost me hundreds/thousands more than I would normally be paying over two years to switch to Cingular.


I'd love, love, love an iPhone.

I'm not willing to switch to Cingular for it.

Cingular works fine for me.
With my Sony W810 I have not dropped a call in months. Last time was when I still had my crappy Moto V600.

I drive back and forth from Maine to Rhode Island, plus occasional travel to Denver/Ft. Collins. I have never had problems with coverage.

I used a RAZR for a bit, but it had the same issues as any other Moto I have used.
Crappy interface and bad buttons.


My brother and father use Sprint and have for a long time and they are happy.
However pretty much everyone I know who uses Verizon in Maine has complained about the coverage, the customer service, and especially about the billing (lots of mistakes, added roaming stuff when it should not be, etc).


I think the iPhone is cool, but once it comes out, you can try Cingular for 30 days and if it does not work, go back to Verizon/Sprint/T-mobile.

I don't know why people get so angry about this stuff.

I am currently using a BlackBerry 7230 under T-Mobile, which is approaching 4 years old. My contract with T-Mobile has been up for years. So I'm primed to switch to AT&T and the iPhone in June. It's time I retire my aging BlackBerry.
