| Switching to Cingular and need a new phone I am finally getting out of my cell phone contract and am switching to cingular. I was wondering if any of you had good or bad experiences with a particular model cell phone. I am interested in phones with good reception above all, and not so much all the frills. Any input on a good quality phone to purchase, or one not to get, would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

| When we first got Cingular we just had the free Samsung flip phone that came with our service and it sucked! We couldn't get good service and sometimes the phone would shut off, like it had battery problems. Not sure though. Last month we finally got Razr phones and it works lots better!!!! I don't know how they do nationwide, but around here it works so much better. I have no problems getting service. I hope this helps!!

We have cingular and they have very good coverage. We had the free flip phones as well and they don't get very good service but, we have upgraded and no problems.

| Cingular offers the Motorola RAZR, and those are great phones. They carry the pink and blue ones!!! My husband has just the plain silver, but he absolutely loves that phone. I am jealous.......

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have Cingular and have the LG flip phone and have had no problems. I found the Nokia phones in my experience had longer lasting battery life.

| Thank you so much for your replies. It's hard to know which phone to choose with all the stuff out there, but I really like the look of the Razr.

My furkids Donating Member | I have had cingular for many years. I find (unfortunately) the better the phone (more expensive) the better the reception. I think it depends on your area also...we get ALOT of dropped calls. We will be switching over to verizon.

| My last phone was a Nokia. It was a POS. I had to send it in three times to get fixed. I don't remember the model number but it was 6XXX (6thousand something). I now have a RAZR & LOVE it. It's the best phone I've ever had. I get great coverage, and it's just all around a good phone, IMO.

| I've had the RAZR for about 2 years now it looks great! My mom even washed in the washing machine a few times and it still works lol but after about a year it started to have this weird metal smell and I looked it up on google and it says something about the number faceplate and what its made off. Maybe thats cause it was washed a few times lol. |

| We just switched to cingular yesterday. So far so good, but it's only been a day. We went to Radioshack and got a Sony Ericsson phone, I believe W3001 or something like that. It has MP3 player, camera, video recorder, radio, and I'm still learning more! This phone seems pretty durable too, part of the $19.99, and with the purchase of one you can get up to 3 free ones. So we got 2 for only $19.99. Usually I gotta have the top of the line phone, but this one was such a steal I couldn't pass it up.

| i have a pink razr... and had to replace it after 4 months..half the buttons quit working! When I called to complain about it the guy with cingular asked if I had ever dropped it, I was like...seriously, who has had a cell phone and NOT dropped it, LOL. He said..well I know what you mean, I said yes, I have dropped it, but not within a month or so, LOL Got a new one in the mail a few days later. Honestly don't think I would buy another razr if I were purchasing one...they are ok..but nuttin to write home about, LOL
