Questions for Cellular South Users

I can respond to one question #6
Most of Cellular South is PCS so they don't have analog Cellular. There is a few places where Cellular South does has a Cellular network and does have analog cellular, but not many places.

 

There might be a few people over here that use Celluar South

W0rdie over at the howardforums.com probably can help you out.

 

Cellular South is a Mississippi company so their coverage is best here. If you look at their actual coverage map, they cover Mississippi, the Alabama coast, the Florida panhandle, and part of southwest Tennessee (Memphis, Jackson). They do have an AMPS network in the Mississippi delta and other markets where they started out cellular. Here in Grenada they are PCS.

1) In MS their coverage is very good from my experience and constantly growing. It's also good in Mobile/Gulf Shores AL. I haven't been around Memphis much since I had my CS phone other than going to the airport.

2) They rely on roaming agreements outside of the markets I mentioned above. I have not had a problem roaming with them.

3) I don't have this but my parents had it before they moved out of MS. Always worked fine.

4) Not that I know of.

5) It doesn't work in most of the building I work in (all metal factory). Probably because they're PCS. Cingular (cellular here) doesn't work either and both have many towers here in Grenada. In other buildings it's fine. In Memphis they're PCS as well.

6) Not true.

7) We've been satisfied. I don't travel much and use my phone very little. We had their unlimited plan on my wife's phone for a while and it was our main phone before we had VoIP. I like that their coverage is growing always here in MS, especially in lowly-populated areas. Their service is not open 24 hrs.

8) Nothing stands out.

9) None that I know of.

My parents had CS since 95 with the in-car analog phones, through TDMA and finally to CDMA. I only have had their CDMA and have been happy with it. Just make sure it works where you are.

 

Cellular South has been very aggressive this year with their CDMA buildout. They have added a ton of sites in their markets especially here in the Meridian Area. Their coverage is very good even though they are PCS here in the Central part of the state. They only have very few areas that they don't actually have coverage in....but they are quickly filling those holes. WIth their new rate plan it would be no question that I would have CS over Cingular. We use alltel here because of their T2T service and are quite happy with the level of service we get from alltel. If we weren't attached to the ptt I'd change over to CS in a heartbeat!

 

Kemper County and Scott county have huge holes just to name a few but they are still adding sites like crazy.....heres a map

yes there are usally up to date

 

From my experience, they are up to date. Their MS map, for instance, shows future coverage around the Houston area in Chickasaw county and Calhoun county. These are on MS Hwys 8 and 15. This coverage is brand new and was turned on within the last two months. Their maps depict actual coverage, not just licensed areas.

 

Try the Motorola forum.

 

Very good phone IMHO.....our best seller with alltel.

 

cellularsouth is a great company. the cdma tec is very good i have the nokia 6235i and i get great reception and battery every where with the phone i take advantage of the unlimited text i text all day till my finger gets sore cellularsothis the compay for you if you dont like to pay for any overage fee's at all

 

Switched to CS about 3 yrs ago and love it. Could not get service with Alltel at my home and now can sit in my living room and talk. I had the 6255 and probably the best reception I have ever had. Shouldn't have a problem with coverage. :thumb:
