The tool provides customers with up-to-date wireless coverage information and is designed to answer a customer's specific wireless coverage questions based on an address, street intersection, zip code or even a landmark. This tool will soon be available online to current Cingular customers and to those shopping for cellular service.

Awesome, I hope others will fallow.

I'm a natural born skeptic, so I'll wait to see how well this works or how detailed the maps will be.

I really hope it is like the on T-Mobile offers. But knowing Cingular, I am ready to be deceived.

Yes they have, and a great one at that. I hope Cingular's is just as good. But I was talking about the CDMA carriers.

And Sprint's maps are any better.

Yankees368 · 04-19-2006, 12:17 AM

So any word on this yet? I'm very interested to see this map.

I am hoping to see it soon too & see if it's a typical Cingular sounds good but not as good as it should be or if they use something similar to T-Mobile's that gives excellent mapping coverage to street level.

liljon9 · 04-22-2006, 12:32 AM

a radioshack employee showed me the map, its almost exactly like the t-mobile one. so detailed that it showed me roads that not even mapquest shows.

our3rotts · 04-24-2006, 6:02 PM

I'm interested in this too...

when, when????

:poke

ghostb · 05-01-2006, 2:51 AM

been waiting for that for a while now if they would share where they plan to build towers

bobolito · 05-01-2006, 1:43 PM

Even though the maps are not available to the public online, a little bird confirmed they are working on making it available online. Whether it will be the same version of the maps available at the stores and how soon remains to be seen. For now, apparently there's a loophole you can use to access the MTI map tool. Just tether your Cingular phone to a laptop and go to http://gis.tdc.cingular.net/mti/csr/index.jsp. Even better, if you have a Cingular data card, it should be easier.

This will not work from any Internet connection. By what I was told, you need to be connected through Cingular proxy servers to access it, such as wireless.cingular.com. If anyone is able to confirm this, please post.

If it works, don't go crazy posting it all over. This is stuff Cingular doesn't want to be out there.
