    Pros: Good phone selection, good assortment of plans.
    Cons: Customer support/ tech support can be a bit lacking.

    Summary: I started off as an AT&T customer after dropping cellular one (which in Chicago was replaced by Cingular) after getting horrible customer service. AT&T was fine, but when I went in after the merger with Cingular to replace a phone, I was essentially told ... read more

    Pros: The phones did work most of the time and the reception was good.
    Cons: They lie, cheat, and steal your money for things you didn't sign up for.

    Summary: When we went to sign up for our home phone service at our new place, the representative asked us if we wanted to get Cingular bundled onto the bill. She went on and on about the plan: two free phones, 39.99 for the first line and 9.99 for the other, free ... read more

    Pros: free phone
    Cons: difficult customer service

    Summary: I have found that when we purchased the free phone with Cingular they have always seemed to have broke really easy. I think they are defective. I have since switched and when i did switch and tried to cancel the plan they gave me a hard time. I even sent

    Pros: Nice phones, good coverage in comparison to others, good customer service
    Cons: Small lapses of coverage

    Summary: With my husband being in the Air Force, I dont think I even need to mention how frequently we move around, and about 99% of the time, we always have signal. A previous reviewer stated that there were issues with the text messaging, well, on my plan we

    Pros: This text messaging situation as a whole has no pros.
    Cons: I just hate getting charged for texts I never even sent.

    Summary: So as I was arguing with my father for the BILLIONTH time that I rarely if ever text message, he pulled out a copy of the phone bill. I looked at it and it listed all the texts I had received, AND CHARGED ME FOR IT! I was, to say the least, really ticked

    Pros: They sell nice phones.
    Cons: Unbelievably poor reception on Chicago's Loop and Near North Side.
