I was on the phone talking business with a member of my board of directors and cell went dead...can't get a call through on any of my phones:mad: :mad:
It's been an hour. Is this a problem anywhere else or just here?

Mine's fine here in the midwest. Could it possibly be your phone? How old is your sim card? I know when those start to go, it seems like you drop calls regularly and have a hard time getting reconnected.
I live too far back in the hills and hollers to get reception.
It's funny when the flatlanders come around and try to use their cell phones :D
Maybe I should start sitting on the porch playing the banjo when they do.
Mine's fine here in sunny but windy CA. Have you tried turning the phone off and then back on? On my Nokia I had to do that every so often, on my new LG seems to work fine.
How's your battery life, granted it should have warned you if that was low.
Are you at a new or different location? Do you usually get reception there? Even if there was trouble at one of the towers there's generally enough overlap to cover you.
Lastly if you're in an urban area and getting poor reception and can see a church with a steeple....head closer. Not kidding. There's a company that works with most major cell providers to lease space in churches because it's higher obviously and does not show. :cool: And you thought it was just bells up there :rolleyes:
Trek, using the same dang SIM card since it was Pacific Bell wireless :rolleyes:
I'm so over Cingular. My service always goes out. Sat next to someone on an airplane the other night who had been hired to fix their network in LA. He did not have good things to say about it. Blah.
As for current service being down - I don't think it has today in LA. Just crappy signals, as per usual! :mad:
I feel your pain!! :o
Cingular has the least dropped calls because they have the fewest connected calls! I dropped Cingular & even paid their fine for canceling the contract early. My DH goes out of town a lot and needs to have a reliable phone when he's driving.Quote:

I realize this post is too late, but I had to post anyway.
I detest AT&T. I had ZERO problems with Cingular and ever since AT&T took over, the service has been garbage.
Once it was down for two days. The only number that would get through was 611 (that number goes directly to AT&T). So, guess who I called?? :p They LOVED me. They gave me some song and dance that someone had to hang-up their call before I could get through cause the network was busy. That lasted all day. I called again because surely there aren't that many long winded people talking well into the night.
I kept calling and I even told them I'm calling them because they are the only people I can call and I'll keep calling until I get through to other people. :D I also told them that I never liked AT&T and that's why I was with Cingular from the beginning and that I'm less than happy that they bought out Cingular
I would switch providers if I could, but I just upgraded my phone before this outage (which translates to signing my soul to the devil). To add insult to injury, my bill came the day after my service was down for two full days. :eek:
I hate AT&T.
Edited to add: I agree Cingular (pre-AT&T and now) has a lot of dropped calls. Also, they don't have that many *bars* available either. Reality is, they were better than before the AT&T takeover, but now it's worse.
I still hate AT&T
