When my buddy told me about the network name swith i didnt belive him so I decided to call in, besides RAISING THE BAR they are also RAISING THE PRICES the rep told me to expect a bill change, I have a 199.99 family plan so I might have to cancel all our fones cuz Im not paying more for this. icon_shifty.gif icon_blink.gif icon_neutral.gif

Are any of u guys dropping the company?

The rep was misinformed, they can't change your plan price as it is an infringement on your contract. Don't drop it

either the rep misunderstood your question or didnt explain the answer good enough.


from the limited info you posted I'll do my best.

your rate plan will remain in place unless cingular notifies you or you change it yourself

at present you get 400 peak with rollover. the new unity plans ( http://www.cingular.com/learn/why/unity/more-information.jsp )

unity family 199.99 is 4000 minutes. essentially the same as what you have. at the link I posted I do not see a reference to rollover minutes. however you must have ATT as your landline service provider and bundle the landline and wirless together. you gain MtM minutes to a landline with ATT. that in of itself could offset your minute useage enuf to make it worthwhile .I would call the number posted at the site and ask the specific question about rollover

if the unity plan includes rollover to me it looks like a gain as far as the cell service goes. if the landline service meets your needs thats your decision to bundle

I was thinking about switching to cingular for the Unity Plan, but then I realized, no-one around here uses Cingular for wireless, and pretty much everyone uses Embarq for landline, I've been looking into Verizon, and they offer a similar package with: Landline, Broadband, Wireless, and Satellite TV for around $100 per month.

Its all where you live, here in the bay area, Cingular is #1 thats just how it is, I heard some statistic like 1 in 4 people in the bay area has Cingular

thats 25% of the market, thats high considering theres 6 carriers here, not to mention the small prepaid carriers that buy minutes from the big ones.
