Verizon Vs Cingular in Ann Arbor MI?

Stick with VZW, I made a trip to Concordia Ann Arbor with school. Verizon's coverage was much better, and I was using all my data featrures (Ok, eating them up) because I was so bored. PPL with cingular were saying that they were dropping calls, and I had a full set of bars.

Though, this is only one spot.

 

Check out some of the newer Motorolas like the V710 or the E815, definitely improvements over your VX6000.

 

I used Cingular in A squared about 4 years ago...on the TDMA/analog network. It worked fine in AA and around parts of the town and Ypsi. Also out to the Sagatuck area of western michigan.

Why not try a free 30 day trial with Cing before you relock into a 2 year contract with verizon?

 

Cingular Has
Automatic DROP-CALL CREDIT
in their Billing, so they don't Get Billed for drop calls.
I don't think others Carriers Do this.

 

Verizon use to but they quit doing that last year.

 

With T-Mobile they give you credit for the Next Month,
when you call them.
But they won't remove it from that month's Bill,
so if you go over your Minutes, you have to pay it.

 

Alltel Does! I would think Cingular would go broke doing this.....

 

they're still doing it.

 

i think he missed somthing lol...

 

My girlfriend lived in Ypsilanti (& worked in Ann Arbor) until last month. She had Cingular, I had Verizon. We both had great coverage in Ypsi and Ann Arbor, though it seemed like this spring, she had been getting a lot more dropped calls once she switched to a GSM phone. This would be just sitting at home, talking on the phone with 4-5 bars -- all of a sudden, poof, call ended. She previously had a moto v60 on the TDMA network there and her service had been rock solid, aside from a few dead spots between AA and Ypsi. She also had an AT&T GSM Blackberry, with excellent coverage throughout the AA area.

 

No problems whatsoever with Cingular (GSM, V400, and before that a T720) anywhere in or near A2, including basement locations. Verizon coverage is similarly decent, although I think my Cingular plan beats anything Verizon is offering right now.
