    Pros: NONE

  • Cingular doesn't serve the Lehigh Valley very well

    May 16 '03
    Pros: Service OK in urban zones around Philly
    Cons: Service nearly non-existent in the Lehigh Valley.

  • You deserve better customer service

    Sep 23 '02
    Pros: coverage, rates
    Cons: customer service

    Summary: I chose Cingular (formerly Cellular One) primarily because they offered the best "basic" deal and offered a decent local calling area. And I will admit, I've been pretty satisfied with being able to get a signal and the overall call quality. ... read more

    Mar 24 '02
    Pros: Semi-cheap rates, no roaming or long distance charges on some plans, easy returns
    Cons: Horrible customer service

    Summary: I dont actually live in Philidelpia, but a small town near the MD line. Cell phone service is horrible in my area and I had AT&T. I decided that AT&T just wasn't doing it for me, so I decided to do some shopping. I called the Cingular 1-800 number and ... read more

    Pros: good service, great value for the money
    Cons: Customer Service is not very knowledgeable. Customer account info from their website is poor.

    Summary: I have been with Cingular for a year now. Overall, I have found the coverage to be excellent. I have had very few dropped calls, no fuzziness. Also- you cannot beat the plans that they have. When I signed up for my plan last year, I got an incredible ... read more

  • Avoid if Possible - Read on for Reasons Why

    Oct 30 '01
    Pros: Dealers love to bargain on incentives at renewal time
    Cons: Chances are you'll want out of your contract long before renewal time comes.

    Summary: I got my first cell phone back in 1996 through Cellular One, mainly because they had much cooler phones than Bell Atlantic Mobile (now Verizon). Sprint and AT&T were pretty much non-existent at the time, so my choices were few. I was always ... read more

  • Switched from Sprint PCS to Cingular

    Jul 06 '01
    Pros: Coverage, strong signal
    Cons: No real time system to check usage, phones aren't as intuitive

    Summary: I was a former Sprint PCS user for 2.5 years. I made the switch to Cingular because I was tired of the lack of signal strength in Chester County, especially indoors. I finally switched to Cingular on July 1, 2001 and I noticed a significant difference ... read more
