Cingular is suing T-Mobile over

Good info elmo!!! The "fewest dropped calls" moniker is misleading on both parts, IMO. One company uses one "independent research company" and another uses the other...who's to say who's right, really.

This is too funny. I wonder who will win?

BTW elmo, I like your soap opera comparison.

Cingular is suing T-Mobile over its advertising claim that it has the fewest dropped calls. In the suit, filed Wednesday in Atlanta, Cingular says T-Mobile is violating false-advertising laws as an independent study of more than 300 markets, which include about eight in 10 U.S. residents, shows that Cingular had the fewest dropped calls. We have reports by AP and the Boston Globe.

In competitor and vendor news, The New York Times, Washington Post and Associated Press report that Sprint Nextel’s profit in the third quarter plunged 52 percent from the period a year ago, but that its efforts to turn around the company's cell phone business were starting to bear fruit. Its rivals Cingular and Verizon Wireless have been adding more customers.

In general news, Wireless Week reports that customers increasingly are influenced by the handset when selecting a wireless service, according to a J.D. Power and Associates study. The 2006 Wireless Retail Sales Satisfaction study finds that 19 percent of customers cite the type or brand of cell phone as a key factor during the initial process of selecting a wireless service, up from 11 percent in 2004

why does cingular care?? they have twice as many customers as tmobile to begin with. i think cungular is jelous that tmobile is pulling ahead in the "cell phone game". further more, i cant even believe the fact that cingular has the fewest dropped calls because i know people who drop almost every call they make with cingular, but then again thats only about 20 people from the U.S.

Anyway, was the suing process taking place today? someone post it, i wanna know what happend!

sprint and cingular had somthing like this

Ya know no one can say who really has the fewest dropped calls. If a Cingular customer is on a call w/ a Sprint customer and the Sprint service drops the call, then can it be blamed on Cingular? And how about if you are roaming on another network and that call fails. Plus any of the customers who purchased a factory unlocked phone from the web or store, the provider won't be responsible for equipment they didn't give the customer. There are just too many variables to consider in this issue. Why not consider instead the monies that will be spent on such a bogus lawsuit and how that will affect pricing to the customers of these two moronic corporations.

Bottom line, no carrier is the best of has the fewest droped calls, because of one thing. The setting we live it, the fewest drop calls depends on your area, when we walk outside there are many buildings and cars runing, all these things effect the signal, so u cant really say what provider is better because, it all depends on different things.

Smart people.
Glad I can see this in a T-Mobile forum
