Dont See The Big Deal

I really don't see the big deal in getting all worked up over this. Every cell providor does it, they just do it differently than others.

Re: Dont See The Big Deal

I am with sprint right now. I dont think I will leave them with the plan I have. I have 3000 anytime minutes, unlimited nights starting at 7pm, 300 txt, insurance, free power vision , 50 dollars worth a download free a month or premium services. 20 is base plan , 5 for night and weekend starting at 7pm, 6 insurance , 5 for txt. I cant see anyone beating my plan. Sprint doesnt have hardly any bars in my house but it still makes calls in my house , even with 0 bars and still recieves calls in my house just fine.

No they do not. And not every carrier mandates that you have to use one of their phones which is modified to prevent you from seeing when you are roaming.

Re: Dont See The Big Deal

As one of the "unprofitable" that are getting cut I can assure you it isn't a nice feeling.
I contacted Cingular and they told me that my phones should show that I am roaming. I told them that they do not and they said they "updated" them for me some time ago. Of course they never told me this personally, I guess I was just supposed to know.
I was/am a Cingular customer for about 3 years. About 9 months ago I even upgraded adding another line. All of a sudden I am told that I am not profitable even though I haven't moved or changed phones.
What really bugs me is that they just let me buy another phone, another line, and sign a new 2 year contract with them. I also paid the extra for a NATIONAL plan so that I never had to worry about roaming. Isn't that kind of ironic?
This has soured me so much I am just going to give up on my cell phone. It's a nice luxury but not a necessity for me by any means.
I really wish I could tell Cingular exactly what I think of them but I don't want to get banned from this website.

Re: Dont See The Big Deal

cingular phones have not shown roaming for several years and this is easily confirmed on the Internet. In fact, Cingular modifies their phones so that they will not show roaming (among other modifications). There are numerous accusations of Cingular reps lying to customers.
