I am another one who uses both Cingular and T-Mobile. Cingular is my main phone, and I have a T-Mobile ToGo for backup. I am also in Minnesota. I agree with you that T-Mobile coverage in Minnesota is very good. My Cingy phone is still on an AT&T plan, so it allows roams automatically on T-Mo when necessary, and I can manually select T-Mobile, when I am outside of the MSP metro area. I encounter many areas where there are holes in Cingular coverage and I need to use T-Mobile. Those areas include St. Michael-Albertville and US Hwy. 8 from Chisago City to Taylor Falls. I have found T-Mo coverage much better in western Wisconsin, too. When I travel into Wisconsin on US 8, my Cingular phone prefers to use Cell One, but I always manually lock it to T-Mo because the coverage is far better until I get to US 53, at which point Cell One is my only choice.
As far as customer service goes, I have been happy with both Cingy and T-Mo.......no problems with either. I stay with Cingy, because in my case it is less expensive. Since I am on an old AT&T plan, I get 1363 anytime minutes on three lines of service, unlimited mobile and unlimited 7p.m. nights & weekends for $80/month plus tax. No carrier's current plans can compete with that, so I will stay with Cingy Blue for as long as they will let me. If they kick me off, I may have a problem choosing T-Mobile, because I need at least 1200 anytime minutes on my three lines, and that would mean that I would have to get the T-Mo 2000 minute family plan which would come to $110 plus tax. That is $10 more than I would have to pay Sprint or Verizon to get the minutes that I need, so I don't know what I will do, if I have to make that decision. Cingy would probably not be an option, because I don't think that they would continue to give me the manual network selection that I now have with my old AT&T plan. --- In [email protected], "shawn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Of the large nation wide Wireless services, T-mobile has the best > prices, and they also have impressive coverage.
