Default Cingular Problems Across Texas

I found this out not too long ago. about 98% of cingular customers are not able to make or take phone calls since earlier this morning. I swung by the Cingular store and found out that most of the towers in Texas are down. Who knows how long it will be down. they said that the ETA was some time tomorrow. Sucks. Just don't get pissed off at your phone. It is not it's fault this time. I threw mine across the yard when it first started happening. Still works though. I can't tell you how many times that I took my simm card out and powercycled the stupid thing!

I am hearing that this is only in the DFW area.... I am fine down here in Centex, but having hard time calling up there.

My parents/Me have had cingular since back when it was Houston Cellular and your phones were the big *** cases. That's going through many managements, HC => PrimeCo => ATT Wireless => ATT/Cingular => Cingular. Over that period of time I'd have to say I'm overall satisfied. **** happens its technology.
