ive had it a lot longer than that.ss

 

I believe that early nights & weekends have to be applied to all lines under a family plan - all or none.

I don't know about PTT.

 

Yes, they don't have it setup where if you get Early N&W or PTT for 1 line only, but depending on how many lines you have, it doesn't make sense to have it for 1 line only in a family plan.

Early N&W on a single line $8.99
Family Plan is $16.00

PTT single line $9.99
Family Plan is $19.99

and with PTT it wouldn't make sense to get it for 1 line only on a family plan.

 

Yeah, I've been on unlimited Media net for about 16 months now @ 19.99. I believe it was last Jan or Feb that they added 200 text and Unlimited Video to the $19.99 plan as well.

i have unlimeted internet, 1500 text mesg., and 200 mms, for 19.99. ive had it for about 2 or 3 years now.:biggrin:

 

i think its a pretty good deal, myself.

 

If I had held my breath for as long as I've been waiting for unlimited everything (I.E. Text), I would've been dead years ago...

We will see, I heard they are testing Unlimited SMS between Cingular/AT&T Customers in 2 area's of the country (actually 1 was put on hold for now). They may be offering this to compete with Verizon in the near future.
(I know I hope they do).

 

I hope so too. Now where are those 2 locations?

Edit: on a side note there was rumers that there is a BB plan that included unlimited Email, Internet, SMS and MMS. I think it was called as BBunlim4 which is on the prsonal plan side and it goes for $10 more than the regular personal BB plan.

 

Even being the top Wireless Carrier out there, eventually I think with the other's constantly changing and becoming so much more competitive, Cingular/At&t will eventually have to change things...

But then again I've been thinking that for years now, and it hasn't changed so far...

I guess when you're #1, you can do as you please...

I guess we can always hope. Right.

 

I heard Atlanta GA & Houston TX were to be the test area's. I really think they need to do these test's in more populated area's like NY & CA, they would get a better feel for what people want, especially with the NY area being a Verizon area & CA seems to be a big Sprint & Verizon area.

 

Glad to know you're back from hibernation.

 

I'm pretty sure Cingular knows that people want unlimited texting and that's exactly the reason why they wouldn't give it -- if there's a limit, they can always collect on the overages

 

it's unlimited for the first month so they can get you hooked...

 

Makes perfect sense

 

You're describing a perfect cash cow for them -- why would they want to give customers a cut of their pie? Unless they see the lack of unlimited texting of some sort as a reason for increase in churn, nothing's going to happen.

 

I agree they look at it as a cash cow, and hopefully 1 day they are going to wake up & see Verizon is still adding more subscribers a Qtr. (especially if you take away the pre-paid subs) and they are offering the better SMS plans including the M2M SMS.

Maybe when people leave Cingular & if they take a quick survey of why and who they are going to, Cingular would get a better picture of people defecting for better data/sms plans vs phones & coverage issues.
Sure they have the same calling plans, but data is where Cingular is weak.

 

From what i know of, it seems like cali is more of a Cingular state or a Cingular & verizon state, not sprint! I have about 750 numbers in my phone and like mabe 2 or 3 are sprint/nextel, 75-100 are T-mobile, and 100-150 are Verizon, the rest are all cingular! Most everyone i talk to or know or the companys i know all use Mostly Cingular. Cali can not be a sprint state at ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

At least in Bay Area, Northern CA Cingular & Verizon are much stronger than Sprint & T-Mobile. One thing that works for Cingular right now is the T-Mobile roaming -- it covers a lot of holes in Cingular's own coverage and I don't see Cingular hurrying to patch things up -- they made a few early last year and I haven't seen anything since. If they don't get their act together before the roaming agreement with T-Mobile dissipates, Verizon's coverage will be the most complete one.

 

From what I heard is that there is more to the roaming than we realy know. It seems that T Mobile is delaying the process for the unwinding for the agreement and if the agreemetn is done, then T mobile might end up suffering big time in the CA areas. (this was from a T Mobile insider which was confirmed by another insider from Cingular).
