Cingular in Nashville, TN

[SGM]

I've been a VZ customer for a long time in middle TN, but lately have noticed poor quality and dropped calls. I'm seriously thinking of switching to Cingular now that it's building out a larger GSM network.......it's also cheaper, at least currently. I wondered what people thought of their coverage here.

I do travel to Philadelphia, Pa occasionally, so any thoughts on that market would also be appreciated.

Cingular is excellent in Nashville. Nashville is a 850 market that Cingular has built out quite well. I've seen some RF maps for the Nashville area with Cingular and I can tell you it's rock solid.

I've been on VZW in Nashville for two years. I've had maybe a few dropped calls ever. The only signal problems I have are in the buildings at work (and in the dorm when I was still a student). I don't know how the Cingular coverages is here since most of my family is on VZW, but every co-workers have TMO and they have no complaints except for the v300. Some family in the Atlanta area (Marrietta) have Cing and it works great for them.

Cingular should work fine for you in Nashville and in Philly. Verizon coverage in Nasville has always been good for me, I normally swing through a couple times a year, maybe your phone is out of sorts?

Rasputin brings up a good question. Our first instincts are to blame dropped calls on the signal/coverage, but can't the phone also be at fault sometimes? Should we start a new thread on the subject?

Won't have a problem with Cingular in Philly.
