Cingular is okay John, I do occasionally drop calls, but not as often as some of the other systems I've had experience with. I think Sprint is terrible but I guess it all depends on where you take them. I really like the no roaming charges nationwide programs Cingular offers. Its a good match for me as I travel to projects around the country and to the smaller areas in Kentucky. I never pay extra for minutes or roaming no matter where I go in the US. I want to use the roll over minutes I;ve accumulated for internet access with the cellular phone. I'll share anything I learn about this possibility. It's not perfect but it seems to work for me.
