To all you Cingular customers, hope you all enjoyed the fun while it lasted. I switched my service from Sprint to Cingular since I could not use the data service on the phone. I haven't had any problems with Cingular until my phone stated showing crazy numbers on the caller ID. when I finally spoke to customer service at Cingular I was informed of the bad news. although, now the phone states off network, I am still able to perform all the service on the phone. However I am switching to Verizon and going paper less and listing my address in the lower 48.

no reception at our house. Dropped calls all over town, especially at Dimond, Huffman and Seward and midtown C Street. Someone with Alaska digitel was visiting and was receiving calls and text messages at our home. I am seriously considering changing carriers once my contract expires. GCI had a plan to pay off contracts, but they share with cellone, so why bother. I will keep the crappy service until I can change.

I love Cellular One! Customer Service is always right there, helpful, courteous, etc. I always have a great signal and the only time I have a dropped call, it's been on the other end - the person I'm talking to. Cell One has been just great.

Whenever I drive down C st I totally lose signal during conversations even with a 15db gain roof mounted antenna. I can enter that area with 5 bars and still lose the call. But it only happens for about 100 yds on C st. It starts about the beginning of the wall. I call it the "cellular twilight zone"

My calls drop all the time. Now my phone says "Off Network." I talked to Cingular and they said they are going to cancel my service because it isn't allowed now. They were great, but now that I live here, I will have to switch.

I'm amazed to see a huge, multiple peice platform (apparently for a cell tower sitting at the edge of the Holiday at the intersection) sit uselessly for months while I drop calls almost in sight of said tower daily. I can't help but wonder who's tower it is, because if its cellular ones tower, I'll jump ship as soon as possible because the coverage here really sucks, and seeing the parts all just sitting there for months tells me they are not truly concerned about their customers enough to implement a simple solution in a timely manner. But then again, there might be some sort of red tape involved, I really don't know, but would certainly like to.

Again roaming off Cell One using Cingular. GSM network seems fine.

I live practically downtown, but I can't connect to the internet with my EDGE WAN card. The test program says that I'm at 16% signal strength. (Apparently too weak to allow the connection to occur.) Even downtown in the Conoco-Phillips building, I only have 35% signal strength. Cellular One talks a good game, but at least for me, they're not delivering!

No matter where I am in Anchorage I have difficulty yalk ingto people in town, no matter if they are on a land line or a cell. It is worse on the southside of town and forget getting any reception at my house. My son gets told he is roaming when he is in his room. We up graded from digital to what ever they call the new service and it is no better. We had great reception when AT and T was here and it went to pot when cellular one took over.

Sprint sucks, You can't receive any calls, always on roam every where in town. Never once have I not been on roam. They said they just got new towers here but They are 50 miles away and they told me therefore I will always be in roan. Not worth it at all.

I recently moved up here and I have Verizon. Phone services doesn't work as well and none of my features work. I had to cancel everything but the plan itself. I'm thinking it's just Alaska in general. My friend has Cingular and she has some problems as well. Sometimes when I can't get through it says something about ACS. I don't know what code that is but I don't think I can win up here. I hear GSM and CDMA both are okay up here.

Every time I cross Tudor / Lake Otis, no matter what direction, my calls are dropped. Also, if you go under the Tudor overpass on the New Seward, reception is so poor that it sounds like the person is underwater. But, I have a great plan with Cellular One, so I'm hesitant to switch.

I can make and receive calls about 80% of the time, and service typically shows as 1-2 out of 5 bars of service. Conversations are workable but far from perfect. Cellular One must have just added a tower somewhere near my neighborhood--before February, I typically had 0-1 bars of reception and about 20% of my calls worked. Still, the area is lacking in good coverage. Not sure where the nearest towers are. I don't know about ACS coverage in this area, but my ACS EV-DO wireless broadband works intermittently at my house. EV-DO signal can range anywhere from 0-3 bars (out of 4). When the card loses the high-speed EV-DO carrier and falls back to the slower 1xRTT--which works [almost] anywhere there is voice coverage--the reception shoots up to 4 bars. That makes me think there is an ACS tower very near that simply hasn't been retrofitted with the EV-DO service--but ACS (CDMA) voice service may be good in my area. I do not have an ACS phone to verify this. (If I do verify this, I may end up switching!)

Cell One and GCI (which share the local towers) both suck. Got to be the worst service you can imagine. I swithced to GSM beacuse of the felxibility to change SIM cards when I travel abroad. I wish ACS was GSM also.

Cell One sucks. We live 2.3 and 2.8 mile between towers and still no service here. I could go on and on... .instead, I just got out of my contract.

Spotty coverage throughout my neighborhood near this intersection. Most of the Abbott-area mid and lower hillside are bad. There's a cell tower at Lake Otis and 72nd, but I don't know who owns it. Obviously not Cellular One.

Also no problem in 15th and LakeOtis area

Just moved from ACS to Cell One. Cell One offered Intra-Network SMS that ACS hasn't been able to fix since they broke it a year ago. ACS had much better voice quality, but no intranetwork SMS. Overall - If you're looking for Voice calls only, go ACS. If you require SMS, go Cell One.

I get great reception especially compared with alaska digitel

Was told Cingular had very little coverage but I would be able to place calls now Im stuck with a phone that I never get a signal. I need a new cell company.
