Cingular butt fucked me and I hate them. We had Cingular for I don't know year and 1/2 or so. Then suddenly we could not talk more than 5 fucking minutes and our call was dropped. EVERY TIME. I would talk to my family, sure enough we had to keep calling each other back. I talked to I don't know how many people at Cingular...we weren't due for a phone upgrade, we'd have to PAY to fix their problem. blah blah
I had 2 months to go to the end of my contract, and I had enough and switched to T-Mobile which is great and I haven't had one dropped call since the switch.
We couldn't downgrade the service on Cingular, or we'd have to sign up for another year. So we ate the $300 early cancellation fee to get away from them. Can you tell they pissed me off?
I didn't know about the tower thing Jim, but that makes sense. I live in a rural area and we had great reception until oh around Thanksgiving I think last year, then all the dropped calls started. They must have had to give up some tower space in town.
I swear the day after we switched is when I started seeing the commercials about the "least dropped calls" I wanted to thow something at the TV every time I saw them or do this to cingular.
