We have 4 lines (used to be 5) on Vzw and one on Cing now AT&T. I am
personally quite happy with Cing. COverage is about the same (except a
little weak at my house), call quality is as good to way better, they don't
drop (REALLY) every 5 minutes like VZW does (with ALL my phones BTW), and
customer service is outstanding (at least so far almost a year) although I
have not needed them for much. The only complaint is not with Cingular but
Motorola. The Razor is not a very friendly phone especially for a girl (like
my kid) who has small hands and a small roundish face. Otherwise very good.
And it's pretty much world wide compatible. Rates are quite good also.
Especially International LD which is almost as cheap as my Vonage VOIP
calls. We are soon going to be all Cingular
