Re: Who's your cellular phone provider?
Well, I was going to change to TMobile until a couple of weeks ago. I started my cell service here in 1996 with Honolulu Cellular which then got sold to AT&T which then merged with Cingular.
My Cingular contract was (finally!) up last month and after checking with them, they said I could continue with my same plan but on a month-to-month basis. I liked that because I had a REALLY good plan. But, then I started thinking - what if they change their policies and I lose my REALLY good plan?
So, I decided to see what Cingular would do for me to keep a good customer. I ended up getting to keep my bonus minutes but also getting the Cingular National 400 plan with Rollover. So, in the end - I now have a better plan than I started with and since I had just gotten a new phone, I still have a REALLY good plan! They kept offering me new phones but I stuck to my guns and insisted on keeping what I had before the merger. My argument was that it wasn't my fault that the merger happened and that we AT&T customers shouldn't be penalized. After working my way far enough up the food chain at Cingular - I finally got to someone who could make a decision.
I still would prefer to be an AT&T customer but Cingular did right by me and I'll have no problem sticking with them for at least 2 years.
