To compare baby T-Mobile to Cingular wouldn't be a disservice to either GSM companies. T-Mobile offers inexpensive rate plans and Cingular boasts the largest GSM coverage in the US.
Cingular offers a pre-paid plan with free nights and weekends, T-Mobile doesn't.
T-Mobile is youth friendly with the new Blackberry Pearl and Sidekick 3, Cingular is more corporate friendly.
I dunno.
Even though, Cingular has better coverage, (note: T-Mobile's coverage is rapidly improving), and introduces new handsets faster than any other carrier in the US, I prefer T-Mobile for a few simple reasons.
1. Customer Service: Try calling Cingular customer service for a warranty exchange.
2. Prices: Its very hard to beat $49.99 a month for a 1000 minutes, with free nights and weekends.
3. POS Systems: I sell both services and activating T-Mobile is so easy via Watson. However, I've lost customers when trying to activate a Cingular account for numerous reasons.
Even worse, Cingular acquired numerous CDMA and TDMA (omg) customers when they purchased ATT customers, and they are having a nightmare of a time acclimating them to the Cingular Orange network---which results in mass migrations to other carriers, namely T-Mobile. Maybe if or when Cingular changes their name and brand to ATT, it may help. Who knows?
I do think that T-Mobile needs to acquire a smaller GSM carrier or two, namely ALLTEL to compete with Verizon and Cingular.
I just wish they'd get rid of that pink color---what happened to Catherine?
