CINGULAR....I knew it, just like I stated in my other thread about not wanting to renew my contract with Cingular.

After having been an ATT wireless customer for many years, they merged. My conract was expired and I broke my Motorola V60, went to Cingular store, got new phone and renewed conract for 2 years on GSM network.

ONE FUCKING WEEK OF HAVING SUCKINGULAR
and I keep getting TXT messages saying "WTF, all circuits are busy, acll me back"
Many people telling me they are trying to get a hold of me but keep getting this message.

Now prior to the ATT/Cingular merger, I knew people who had cingular, and when I would call them I would get this same goddamn annoying message, and never be able to contact them, and sure enough, It happened to me.

Attempt to resolve the problem:
Called 611 and complained 3-4 times in week and 1/2. I een had one girl call my phone number, and sure enough, she got the damn "all circuits are busy",, and blamed it on a alandline problem :cough, horseshit:

VERIZON IS MY NEW HOME
No more of this Busy signal shit! All is well, no problems as of yet.
Went to Blades and switched over.
Got the Motorola V710 w/ blue tooth.
Love it.

and It is my assumption that this problem with cingular is not going to get any better, considering it has been happening to friends of mine for over 3 years.

Hey Cingular can you hear me now ? Of course not, because "YOUR FIRED "

 

If you're getting rid of your Z500a, can I buy it from you?

 

meh cust care sometimes is no help

 

good call man. i love my 710. the bluetooth is pimp

 

I've never had even heard of this problem before and I have AT&T/Cingular. Maybe it has to do with coverage in your area?

 

I feel ya pain. It really didn't start until the merge.

That busy circuit shit was driving me crazy.

I'm with T-Mobile now.

Best service I've had since "96"

 

welcome aboard

 

pretty hardcore rant. i never ever had a problem like that with cingular

 

I just depends on where you live...I have T-Mobile in Dallas and its awesome.

 

Cingular out here in so cal is fantastic



will your z500a work w/ sprint?

 

Redman. Yeah I remember both of us being with ATT and liking it, but that merger is teh shit.

 

Well I cannot stand the fact that someone cannot even reach my voicemail. What if there is an emergency with a member of my family ?

With customer care telling me that "everything looks good in your area" indicated to me a VERY BIG PROBLEM, since this was happening more than just a couple of times.

I'm usually a very laid back and understanding person, but with repeated error messages is just not called for.

 

i would make sure you return the phones unless you havent already, i don't know if cing charges you full price for em if you don't return em, but i am not sure on this

 

i definately understand, cingular isnt for everyone, and its a shame that happened. sorry to hear that

 

My uncle has ATT which transferred over to Cingular now, and he gets same message, SHIT thats dumb, I understand if you have no reception, but thats not the case, and on top of that it wont direct you to voicemail, straight to "ALL CIRCUITS ARE BUSY NOW!"

 

Yo chopper, if you don't want your Z500a, I wanna buy it!

 

Cingular just called your elementary school English teacher and told her "you're fired" for not drilling the 're into your head!

Sorry to hear your story. I have been with ATTWS since 1997 and do not plan to move to Cingular proper until I am forced to do so.

 

Cingular is decent most places I travel...had ATT and they sucked big time.

 

v710 is tha shit...

bluetooth is like navigation on my car... live w/o it for so many years just fine, but now that ii have it, i cant see myself without it

 

i want to dump cingular too. my service is worse than ever after the merge.

it's getting to the point where i'm going to call them and demand that they let me out of my contract.

 

Its all because CRAPULAR has too many people on there service in our area and cant hold them on the crap TOWERS GSM<CDMA

 

i like sprint

 

oh God this is my chance to say....

CINGULAR SUCKS BALLS !!!!

 

Been with them since 99 and so far, so good. I was a little apprehensive about the merger but no problems yet.
