Pros: the phones make very effective paperweights, doorstops, hockey pucks, decorative centerpieces and garlic presses.
Cons: Are not ideal for communicating between distances further than 20 feet.
The Bottom Line: Save yourself time. Gather about $2500. Go and dump it on the doorstep of your local Cingular store. To communicate, be creative: morse code, smoke signals, telepathy...

| cr12141's Full Review: General Reviews of Cingular Wireless Customer Serv... |
You wont know the difference, trust me. Anyone using Cingular must have done something very bad in a past life. Very bad. I signed up for the family share thing (mistake #1) and got 4 phones in my husbands name (mistake #2). The salesman forogt to activate the phones. We had to travel back to the store, where we pointed out as politely as pie, that the phones didn't work. They laughed bitterly and said that was impossible.
You have phone numbers don't you?
Yes.
Then your phone should work.
But it dosen't.
It should.
But...
After that got starightened out all worked well for about two months. Mt two sons moved 500 miles away for college. When they got settled they called Cingular to change their area codes. No can do. Why? We got a different reason each time we called.
-Your father (the account holder) has to call.
-Your sons (who actually have the phones) have to call.
-We don't change area codes.
-You will have to change all the area codes on the account.
-Your phones can't be reprogrammed.
-You don't have a cingular account. (What am I talking on then? A bologna sandwich?)
-You don't need a new area code (Cingular really dosen't mind if you have to pay long distance to order a pizza from down the street, honest!)
-You will have to get new phones.
This eventually got straightened out by all 5 of us driving back to that original store and explaining the situation. 3 weeks and $450 later, everything was slightly better, fantastic :|
You get the idea. Just repeat the above scenarios over the lenght of a two year contract. I am trying to be really good in this life so as to avoid the Cingular Experience in the future.
