A question regarding Cingular....?

Question

I tried to get my answer at the Cingular website, but their website is a real pain in the neck. That's why I am asking you ppl...

O.K, it's quite complicated, but here it goes....

My Cingular phone is part of a Family Plan. My cellphone's home network is in D.C, I think. I have been living far away (very far away) from the home network for 5 months now. The area I am in is covered by a Cingular partner wireless service. My question is: will Cingular make me pay for roaming because I am far from my cellphone's home network AND because there is no direct Cingular coverage in my area?

10 pts for the answer with tangible PROOF.

Answer 1

ask they people at cingular if you are

Answer 2

YES!!! they will, I'm from CA and used Cingular but when I went on my internship in NEW JERSEY I came home to a fat bill of 3,000 bucks!!!! and I asked a Cingular broker if it was ok for me to be that far and they said, "YES" because roaming is free. So yea, i had to pay the bill and if you going to ask somebody make sure you had them write it down in paper haha well, good luck and I hope you dont have a big fat bill to pay off.

Answer 3

The T&C's for all wireless companies include a clause that states that if you live far away from your home network, they have the right to terminate your contract.

This is Cingular's

Off-net Usage: If your minutes of use (including unlimited services) on other carrier networks (?off-net usage?) during any two consecutive months exceed your off-net usage allowance, Cingular may at its option terminate your service, deny your continued use of other carriers? coverage, or change your plan to one imposing usage charges for off-net usage. Your off-net usage allowance is equal to the lesser of 750 minutes or 40% of the Anytime Minutes included with your plan. Cingular will provide notice that it intends to take any of the above actions, and you may terminate the agreement.
