Starting on June 27 Cingular's prepaid service will change, for the users in North/South Carolina, Coastal GA, and Eastern TN. Instead of being charged daily for text messages, they will be 5 cents to send/receive. Enhanced voice mail will be 15 cents per day. They will also add the following:
-Larger national coverage area at local rates
-Ability to roam off-network
-Browsing the web
-Downloading polyphonic ringtones, games, and color graphics
-Mobile Instant Messaging using AOL Instant Messenger on select handsets
**Also you can use your cingular phone internationally..
**And you can add funds to your account over the Internet using a credit card, major debit card or electronic check.

I think I may actually change my service back to Cingular since they will be improving their KIC network

*** I know this for a fact because they sent me a letter in the mail..

Nice. Sounds good to me

Is the wap (web browsing) free or are they going to charge per KB. I have been hearing that KIC may go nation wide too.

It's about time Cingular did this, I wonder if they'll do this for California too.

It doesnt say if it will be free or not, but i have a feeling they will charge for using the web browser

oh well...at least they are offering it...I think that this service will be available in all their GSM network areas including CA. i dunno for sure, this is just a guess...
