Again, I love updating my posts :P. Anyways... I'm at the AIB College of Business in Des Moines, Iowa and I'm SO glad I get service now! No more driving three to five miles outside of town to check to see if I have text messages ugh... but Churdan STILL has no coverage. Now that I have service (amazingly in Des Moines in some buildings such as the Wal-Mart I work at, it does not work 80% of the time in the back of the building... but not NEARLY as bad as reception you get in buildings in Mankato, MN!) It's just nice that I can be reached anywhere at anytime now! I am still a loyal Cingular fan and will continue to be :-).

No matter where I go in Des Moines I can use my U.S. Cellular phone. I've been a customer for a long time and tried several different phones. They all seem to work great!

Never dropped a call in Des Moines. I travel around the city and around the state often and have always had great reception and service with U.S. Cellular in 8 years!

I can't believe I have thousands or rollover minutes with Cingular! The reason is I can't make any call from either my home or my office. The only way if you want to make a call is to go out to a street. It's a 100% aweful service. The biggest mistake I made was they traped me by signing 2 years contract with me. With my personal experience, do not do the two following things: 1. DO NOT sign up with Cingular if you live in Des Moines. You will regret it. 2. DO NOT sign 2 years contract with any cell company. Give yourself a chance so you can cacel it sooner if you don't like it.

Awful reception and many dropped calls. The reception will be fine for a few minutes, then drop to nothing without myself moving an inch. Service is bad inside the house and outside.

my wife and I got rid of our land line and it turns out that with Cingular that was a colossal mistake. neither of us get any reception inside of our house. especially with my wife's phone, almost every call she gets while in the house cuts off halfway through the call. would not reccommend Cingular to ANYONE.

I live right and cannot keep a phone call on line for more than 5 -10 minutes without it dropping. Often I get voicemails after I leave the house that have been missed. South of the interstate is fine but can't get anything north until after College Ave / Franklin Ave.
