4/19    I've been on verizon for a few years now, and haven't had many problems,
        but I don't like their selection of phones. I'm considering Cingular.
        Does anyone have any significant pros/cons for a Verizon to Cingular
        switch? Thanks.
        \_ You can't ask anything about phone companies and expect a consistent
           answer. It's like a game of the musical chair. Company A gives you
           a better deal and advertise heavily for the time being till they
           oversubscribe to get a higher margin, while company B is waiting for
           company A to oversubscribe, etc etc. It goes on and on.

        \_ All the mobile companies seem to suck equally in the United States.
           Ever make a cellphone call in Europe?
                \_ No, but part of the reason I want to switch is to be
                   able to have a phone that works internationally (and
                   cingular offers such phones).
                   \_ keep in mind that the phones offered by Cingular while
                      compatible with Euro/Asian networks won't actually work
                      on them because they'll be locked on the Cingular
                      network. You'll need to either get it unlocked on the
                      black market or pay a premium to get an unlocked phone.
                      \_ Verizon also offers such phones, but you also have to
                         pay someone to unlock it.
        \_ I just switched from T-Mobile to Verizon last December, and the
           Samsung SCH-a930 I have now seems good.
