4/22 Does anyone here in CA have either T-Mobile or Cingular GSM service?
If so, could you tell me where you are and how good the coverage
is there? Thanks. - ciyer
\_ Used to have sprint, switch to cingular. Sprint calls felt less
staticy, and Cingular sold me a phone that died just days after
the warrantee expired.
\_ My girlfriend has Cingular, and says it's "pretty good" if you're
in a populated area, but in my experience my Verizon phone gets
better coverage although it is more expensive.
\_ Cingular (on old AT&T network) south san jose and mountain view
works pretty well. I don't use my phone much, but I haven't had
any dropped calls I can think of.
\_ Cingular in downtown SF has been getting slowly better over the
past three years. It even works downstairs at BART stations,
and occasionally keeps calls going between the four main down-
town stations. My calls are usually dropped after 30-40 minutes,
though.
\- i have cingular att. i think it is pretty good. there
are occasional weird issues with voice mail notifications
being delayed, but the coverage is much better than the
att non-GSM i had before [which totally sucked]. --psb
\_ att non-gsm started sucking once they fired up their
gsm. Before this, I could get phone calls in the labs on
2nd floor soda.
\- i thought it sucked for some time before that but it
is possible my phone unit was having issues too.
\_ I had a Siemens S46 (TDMA+GSM) until recently, when
I discovered that the TDMA side was no longer able
to make calls, most likely due to Cingular's taking
over AT&T's accounts. So I bought an unlocked
Motorola V505. Shortly after, Cingular "upgraded"
my plan (+$5 and -100 minutes per month)... after
yelling at them on the phone for several minutes,
they gave me +200 minute/month. -- tsang (seattle)
\_ Tmobile - a company that pays their spokesperson $20 mil
yet is still more or less bankrupt. GSM - can't pass through
walls worth a crap. |
