Cingular Should Keep Its Big, Collective Mouth Shut

I'm an unfortunate Cingular customer. Their service is awful. For example, right after my old carrier was gobbled up (AT&T), a Cingular customer representative actually told me it's not Cingular's job to ensure I get a cell signal. I had called to complain because in 6 distinct, well-populated areas of San Diego County, I was losing all of my calls or unable to get a signal at all. Silly me.

So now Cingular is telling the FCC to keep cell phones off of airplanes. It's just one more example of their utter ineptitude... and might be a sign of monopolistic corporate comfort.

They can't get bills right, signals strong, or customers happy. Don't listen to their advice on policy.
