After 5 years with Sprint PCS... move to Cingular?

I have the same plan for 5 years, now! but with 360 mins. Free Long distance, Free Weeknights and Weekends. Pays $35 after all taxes.

I am now shopping for a new plans with different carriers.

Here is what I am looking for:
1) min of 360 to 500 mins.
2) 1 main line and secondary line for my wife
3) Free phone to phone calling including main-to-second.
4) Free Free Long distance, Free Weeknights and Weekends.
5) no roaming charges in all US.

I checked out last night Cingular and Verizon. Cingular came most generous plan.
For $39.99 plus $20 for a second line.

I get:
1) 400 minutes anytime. You can carry the minutes from month to month!!!
2) Free Main-Phone to any Cingular Phone. and Main to secondary.
3) You can transfer landline and mobile numbers for Free.
4) Free Free Long distance, Free Weeknights and Weekends.
5) no roaming charges in all US.
6) no activation fees

With 2-years agreement you get 2 Free mobiles. worth $179
each.

I plan to drop the landline ($25 each month, long distance $10-$15) and Sprint PCS. Total cost for me is around $75 per month.

What do you think about Cingular? How about Coverage? What do you think about this plan?


Thanks.

now considering the 850 mins plan...for $59.99 and $9.99 for a second line...

I will try do the followimg ZAMO deal:
UPDATE
Just added 250 mins more, taking advantage of their $9.99 for additional line:

$59.99: 850 Mins Nationwide Family Plan (w/rollover)
$9.99: Second Line
$14 Nights & Weekend starting at 7 pm (5,000 mins)

Included Unlimited M2M Nationwide

Plus this benefits

- $14 discount monthly
250 extra minutes for each line monthly

Outcome:

1350 minutes/month (850 subject to rollover), 7 pm nights & weekends (5,000 mins), Unlimited M2M, 2 lines, all for $70 per month (plus taxes).

National GMS Network.

Now I will definetely NOT have a landline.

NNH, don't do it for the sake of money. You will regret every minute of it.

You should probably check out Sprint's new rate plans.

My wife had cin for a few years and it sucked. Sprint does good enough by me now and the phones are pretty cool!

Please don't go with cingular. My cingular phone sucks. Plus I never heard of cingular offering free weekend/nights.

The only reason I stick with cingular is because my nephew is a supervisor, so I basically get free everything on my plan. Other than that, it's not the best cell service around.
