Cross Telephone just added a tower North of Quinton (about 1 / 4 mile), Cingular opted not to allow their customers access this tower. I found all of this information out by talking to Cross Technical people.

No reception at all... even outside the house.

I've had my Cingular phone for about 2 yrs, and I hate it, I don't get any service where I live. I have to go 18 miles to Stigler to even get some bars, or all the way down hwy 31 to McAlester. It's crazy. They are putting up a tower in my town, I hope it is one that will work for me... hope so only got two months left on my contract, if I don't get any bars by then, then bye bye cingular... ...

Cingular service has drop greatly in the past 60 days in southern payne county. The reason is that the tower located on 33 highway and brushcreek road has been sold to Alltell COmm out of LIttle Rock Ark. If you are sitting in any building along Hwy. 33 east or West Bound their is 95 percent chance of no coverage on voice calls. THeir (so call Customer Service states their is little tower coverage in perkins area and no plans to improve coverage( their words spotty) in this area. Whatever wireless provider that you have be certain that that they provide coverage in your area of mobile service. All wireless companies should have a tower every 5 miles to handle calls with ease. All wireless companies in the United States are uncaring and unprofessional. If they are state in their sales Lit, they provide service and they do not, then they are a Fruad and deserve to go Broke!

Useless. Alltel simply sold me a service in a dead zone and I believe they knew it.

no bars no ring, no service. Cingular techs had no advice but to try another service.

no bars inside the home and 1 sometimes 50 yards from the house. messages don't ring and when listening to the messeges, cracking and garbled messege at best if not dissconnected.

when AT&T "bought out" Cingular they sold out all the towers I know so many people who where with AT&T that where so happy switched and now there under contract and customer service either says I cant help you and your stuck or sorry we get calls about this all the time and they wont tell us whats wrong. Most every one I kno that had AT&T blame Cingular but the truth is AT&T owns like 70% stock in Cingular so for what ever reason except to make billions by tricking all there customers into switching I dunno but they have "the most dropped calls" "not the fewest"

No reception at all in a location camping east of Talihina, OK. Other people in my group had occasional signals on Alltel, Verizon. My T-Mobile phone was totally useless all week.

TERRIBLE reception. Not even one bar.
