The only place that Cingular dosent work for me is in the place that I work! That is not a problem because I can cut it off and save the battery.....Plus I have soooooo many roll over minutes saved up I wouldnt think about switching! PHONES: Motorola ='s pretty good service! Sony Ericsson ='s Better for me! LG ='s Good enough! JB Camera Phones- - - - - Motorola has the best that I have ever seen!

Umm... usually you buy them that away off of ebay, if not you can use several online companies that specialize in that. Sry I can't make a better suggestion as I have never used one of those services before.

My old Motorola I think was the I530. I ran it over with my truck one day in a gravel driveway at a friends shop (by accident).
Phone was a champ and only had a small dent and still worked for another 1.5 years until my son decided to start using it as a chew toy!

I would agree, but that sounds like a Nextel Device right? Those are much more Utiltarian Devices than what any other carrier offers.The Moto V365 is about he most durable phone for Cingular right now but lacks on features.

I've got some Nokia brick that I got 2 years ago, 5010 or something like that. It has been dropped, dropped and then kicked while walking, beat on steering wheels when I try to push the five button and it does not work....so you use a pocket screwdriver to push the five, the three and the up/down arrow are starting to do that. Be glad to get a new phone.

So now that cingular is att again, seems I have gone full circle. Was part of att, then they merged or whatever they did and now I'm back with att??

It was a nokia 6010. But let me try explain the merger in one run on sentence. LOL. Cingular bought AT&T Wireless several years ago, Cingular which was always owned by Bellsouth merged with AT&T. There are no major network changes like with the last merger. PPL dont have to do anything. The new phones have the AT&T logo now but are the same phone as the ones with Cingular LOGO. AT&T Wireless phones were locked to that carrier but now it is all the same technology and everything. Just a name change this time not a combination of technologies.
