  • Cingular Service Is Customer Abuse

    Jun 30 '04
    Pros: Wow, I really can't think of anything about this experience that was a pro.
    Cons: Everything.

    Summary: I tried for two weeks to add a line to my fiance's Cingular service. It was real simple: 1. Switch to the Family Talk Plan 2. Add a new line (for me) 3. Upgrade her phone to the Motorola V600 4. Send me a new phone for the new line, another V600. ... read more

  • Cingular service is beyond terrible

    Oct 08 '05
    Pros: Nice selection of phones
    Cons: Non of them will work with this inferior service.

    Summary: After I moved to Texas and my old cell service was not, I had to find a cell phone service that could service the continental USA. I decided on Cingular for two reasons. First my employer had a corporate account with Cingular. Second, Cingular was in the ... read more

  • Don't Bother

    Sep 08 '05
    Pros: Cheap with loads of free/included features
    Cons: The service is brutal

    Summary: I can't say enough bad things about Cingular's service in California. 1. It will work for a moment, then if you walk five feet away, the service will die. It's awful. I get anxious every time I have to use my phone. Most egregiously, it ... read more

  • Stay away from cingular

    Sep 02 '05
    Pros: Roll-over minutes
    Cons: everything else

    Summary: I used to be a very satisfied cingular customer; I have used their service since 2000 and always recommended them to my friends. My husband was offered a job in another state and the phone we had did not work in that state so we decided to get new ... read more

  • Cingular doe not take responsibility for information provided and products sold

    Jul 30 '05
    Pros: Quick response time of customer service agents
    Cons: Inaccurate information. Won't stand by answers or products. User unable to determine when he's roaming.

    Summary: When I first joined, I called customer service about roaming. They informed me that if my phone said "ROAM", then I was roaming, otherwise I was not. Recently I had large roaming charges, although my phone never said "ROAM". Cingular refused to ... read more

  • Cingular - Great in MOST Situations, But Buyer Beware

    Jul 07 '05
    Pros: Good service in some stores, affordable plans, nice selection of phones, great coverage in U.S.
    Cons: Poor service in certain stores, watch those calling plans, and check coverage and roaming rates

    Summary: I've been a Cingular customer for about 5-6 years now. I used to use the now-defunct GTE wireless so I was really happy to switch to a new provider. A few words of advice though: 1. Watch out for roaming charges. Check the Cingular coverage map ... read more

  • Poor Cingular customer service

    Jun 17 '05
    Pros: None

    Summary: I acquired Cingular services during the Spring of 2005. I was previously a AT&T customer on a month-to-month plan with unlimited nights and weekends but after the merger, my provider became Cingular. I obtained a new GSM phone which I proceeded to sign ... read more

  • No interest in satisfying customers

    Jun 15 '05
    Pros: Their 411 help is very good.
    Cons: Calls drop/fail. Service incompetent/rude. No effort to appease existing customers.

    Summary: The sales person lied to me. I purchased an insurance plan for $99.95 which would replace a lost or stolen phone. If it was stolen I would need a police report, but if it was lost they just replace it. Not True. I lost my phone, and was told that I ... read more

  • Cingular Is Going Down The Drain, Once Good, Now Bad.

    Aug 12 '04

    Cons: terrible customer service, bad insurance plan, won't connect calls with full coverage.

    Summary: I became a Cingular Wireless customer about 18 months ago. My cell worked fairly well in my apartment, and was rolling along fine until the begining of this summer. Suddenly my phone (and my friends phones that also use Cingular) were having ... read more

  • Cingular does not care if you have service or not

    Apr 13 '04
    Pros: Sometimes they have good deals on bundled phones and contracts
    Cons: They don't care. Cingular left us stuck paying for nothing.

    Summary: We were with Cingular for the last two years (almost). We chose them because the contract seemed like a good deal at the time. Recently, our phones no longer had signal in the Morgan Hill/Gilroy area where we live. To be fair, the service worked ... read more
