<description><![CDATA[anon posted : <br>   I got Sprint way back when they were starting up, and dumped them after a year for that very reason. I went to AT&T and have had them for 6 years (TDMA service) and I have NEVER had a problem, other than I live near the Canadian border and my phone kept locking onto canadian cells (with ROAM on the display). It turned out that this was just the programming in my phone which I'd had for 5 years. When I replaced it with a Motorola, this problem stopped. I have used this phone on a national plan and I have never had a problem, even when using analog out in the boonies of OHIO and it has saved my ass a number of times with breakdowns, an accident, etc. Since Cingular took them over, I have noticed no changes in my service, nor any problems.<br><br>   It may well be that Cingular has the worst CS record, but then, 288 complaint problems per MILLION is miniscule. It could well be it is worse, since many will not bother to complain, or take the time. However Celular networks are monsterously complicated things and problems are inevitable. Myself, I dont blame the grunt sitting there at the terminal for dismal pay, unless they are just plain stupid or lazy. They have to deal with all kinds of customers during their shift and they have no real authority. I dont envy them their job at all, especially in todays world of clueless whiners who are just plain stupid or lazy.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[rx7freak posted : I've got Cingular, have had it for almost a year now.  Call quality is great.  Basically, if you're in coverage, its golden.  If you're out of coverage, well, thats not so much their fault now, is it?  Nope.  OH GOD YES some of their CSRs are dumbasses.  I signed up for a 3 day trial of MOBITV (huge waste of money at this point, they should call it mobislideshow) and cancelled after the first day. Well, tried to.  Called their C/S, they said go to www.cingular.com/db, which handles premium content.  Problem with that is is my direct bill page has hated me since the day i signed up.  Tried to refund, only to get REFUND DENIED stamped on immediately, even after reminding them it was a free trial.  Called 4 times, got 4 different stories; call this number (was a disconnected toll free #) go to the DB website, contact mobitv, etc...finally called an overnight tech, explained what was going on, and he credited me 10 for mobitv and 15 for having to call in so many times.  Cingular DOES have 24Hr customer service, which is quite nice.  Their RMA department does assume, though, that you're trying to fcuk them out of stuff.  Had to swap out my phone, and they claimed I messed it up because I reflashed the phone software myself...not the case, and after escalating the call, got my new phone delivered Next day air for FREE.  <br><br>I'm a Sprint PCS data tech.  WE have the worst customer support i've ever seen.  Slamming, cramming, outright LIES, hangups, blowoffs, etc...I see it HOURLY.   ]]></description>
