As she told me, Cingular (my company) is going to some newfangled gsm technology or somesuch nonsense, so the coverage is going to be drastically reduced. She's said this for over a year or two now and I've had no problems, in fact I have great service. I'm currently on the 1000 anytime minutes with all the bells and whistles of a normal plan plus roll-over for only $40 a month.


See, I've been with AT&T since 1998. The last time I renewed a contract was back in February 2002 and I didn't buy a GSM capable phone and my reception is pretty damn good just about everywhere I go (except a few stores).

My brother-in-law has AT&T as well, but he has a GSM phone and gets dropped calls all the time. He lives/works in the same general area that I do, so if that's what's going to happen to me if I switch to Cingular and the whole network (AT&T's included) goes over to that GSM crap . . . I'm gonna lose a lot of calls; not good.

Verizon and Cingular have these 15 or 30 day "trial periods" with their phones and supposedly you can take them back if you're not happy with them. But if you're unhappy, then what? You keep trying phones until you find one that works where you make most of your calls?

I also want to bring my current number with me (I've had it for a helluva long time) and if I end up unhappy with this new company I'm screwed and can't go back to AT&T.

God . . . what a mess . . .
