I have the L7 slvr and they tell me my phone
somethings wrong with phone and i need to
use the warrenty replacement which i know for a fact is a whole bunch of BULL..cuz
the phone is brand new..but still i get the weakest signal. where do I leave you asK? metro atlanta. One of the biggest cities in da U.S. and they say they have the fewest dropped calls.”i can’t even get a call in”
call there
customer service 5 times and see what the all tell you. Each one of them would tell you something different, and
each one of them would offer you a great plan once you tell them that your transferring your number
to different carrier. I personally can’t stand Cingular and can’t wait for my contract to be over; wait
I’m not going to wait for my contract to be over. I’ll be more than happy to pay them 160 for Termination
just as long as the give me my number and leave me along with all that “BS!” Talking about the have the
nations fewest drop calls, and rasing the bar, and rollover minutes. “WHAT?” Rollover Minutes. MAN YOU GOT
TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THEM. Please just sue them and make em’ pay for every bill that
I had to pay more than 200 dollars. Which is like every Bill. AnD yeah if your wondering, “NO” I don’t
WORK FOR CINGULAR, or any of these other carriers. I just happen to be doing a compare and contrast paper about cell phone
carriers and I happen to stubble on these comments. THANKS GUYS

You must really enjoy things day-to-day.

I understand you are just a regular consumer who likes to think you know everything, but you really dont. Do the public a favor, and try to post opinions.. not made up facts

First off, regarding Cingular’s campaign, TELEPHIA is the organization that did the study. Telephia gets funds not just from Cingular, but from all major carriers. So please dont make up some bs that Cingular paid them off to come up with this bogus study.

Telephia ran their own study, and presented the results to all carriers privately. Cingular took advantage of that study, and developed this marketing campaign. Now heres proof that Telephia wasnt paid off, because they were pissed at Cingular for even mentioning their name. Telephia wanted to stay neutral and in no ways are trying to favor any carrier. Yet according to you, this is all a joint business venture out to shake the world.

Fact is, Cingular would never state anything they cant back up. Hence the reason why Sprints/Verizon’s lawsuit to dispute these claims went down the drain. Hence the reason why no major lawsuits from the public or consumer union ever took place ! Forget Cingular, Companies cant just come out and boast claims for the hell of it. Not on this magnitude, this isnt your local Jacks Fried Chicken stating they have the best wings in the area buddy.

And for you to come out and state, that PHONE Equipment makes a difference, oh yeah REALLY?? The same way a dvd player can make a dvd look like crap, or an ipod who makes digital audio sound like gold and etc.. and so forth. If a general wireless consumer, doenst realize this.. then thats not the carrier fault, its the consumer. Sorry, if you buy a crappy TV.. you dont go calling your cable provider telling them you expect HDTV quality !

Cingular controls the network, not the phones, but they do their best to test/analyze all offerings from the manufacturer. and if im not mistakened, this rule applies to all carriers. What you dont mention is that , its not that simple as black and white.

What is relative about this study is that its an overall results , testing based on multiple handsets in multiple regions. Yes, some hard critics or critic wannabees like yourself will say , But its not the same phone, or the trees werent as tall that day and so forth. These variables are as is, just like everyday life. Theres going to be sun one day, and rain the other but “OVERALL” (again , the magic word) , Cingular prevailed.

Another thing I would like to point out is your lack of phone equipment basics. You state that this campaign fails to mention other “basics” of the equation, and that suddenly CINGULAR as a whole is tryin to fool you all. Yet, you used a few phones from a manufacturer and suddenly the the company as a whole stinks as well? Cingular has a big contract with Samsung?? LOL ! Another made up lie, SAMSUNG okay,, has a big contract with everyone !!!!! Its their duty to research,devlop phones for all carriers whether CDMA or GSM. Please dont make some special relationships when there isnt any. Theres a reason why Tmobile and cingular have similar phones, and why Verizon and Sprint have similar. Its not COMPANY based, its Technology based, CDMA vs GSM .

There are so many models that you never touched, or probably dont even know of .. so for you to call out samsung, or LG and call it crap? Or to state Motorola makes bad phones besides CDMA / iden??

WHAT A JOKE ! Do some research buddy, Motorola is one of the largest GSM phone manufacturers in the world !! Along with Nokia. Want proof, find out how many GSM carriers/subscribers there are, vs IDen/CDMA. Sorry to burst your bubble, but besides the USA, GSM is used 99% in the world for wireless technology

Heres what you shoulldve stated in your so called article of truth, TRUTH is.. NO WIRELESS CARRIER IS BEST FOR ALL. As a consumer , it is your responsibility to make sure you know what is offered from all carriers, and which of those carriers can you give the most for what you want relative to coverage, phone features, data etc. Most of all, use some common sense for a change. There is a reason why carriers like Verizon and Cingular are the big dogs in the industry, and why Sprint/Nextel and Tmobile are fighting not be in first, but to make sure they arent LAST !

Folks, lets be real.. no ad, no campaign, nothing will make you believe something you dont want to. Its great for you to debate, to question.. something we need to do more in this country, but please dont get involved in the hype as stated here. Wireless is not perfect, and by far wont be there yet. But its getting close, and as time goes, technology gets better, youll know which carrier is best for you. btw, its not a coindence that guys like this .. like to make up posts to knock down big companies like Cingular who just so happens to be the #1 carrier in the US with 58 million customers

you talk about Trust, but theres one thing I would like to tell your readers.. is to definitely not TRUST YOU.

You completely missed the point.

It’s really simple. If you hate a big corporation (and who doesn’t?), don’t add to its coffers, especially if what they’re providing is just a bonus to your lifestyle, not a necessity. People made it without cell phones in the past; if you want to be one of the ones (like me, for the most part) who doesn’t use one, then don’t. But most people, even those who don’t have the wool over their eyes from this marketing scheme, don’t feel it’s enough to give up nifty life accessory, whether that’s right or wrong.

The same goes for writers of web journals. One should never underestimate the power of human choice. Certainly, nothing’s making me read your journal right now–no matter how trustworthy you are. To me, it seems it all has a lot more to do with interest (and you have an interesting site) and convenience of the service/etc. you provide.
