Cingular/AT&T cell phone plans

[DavidL]

After 4.5 years of Sprint, we're looking for a new cell phone provider and Cingular/At&t seem to be as good as most. I'm happy with the phones, but not sure about the additional services which I need. Basically, I'm going with the family plan but not sure about the additional services which I need which would enable me to pick up & send email once or twice a day from the phone when I'm out and about. I don't care about text messaging, but sending the occasional picture would be good. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks. I'm not sure if you can answer this, but at what speed does this allow you to surf the net at?

I think this would depend on the signal strength - unlike a dsl or landline i.e. if you had 4 bars it would be quicker than if you just had 1 or 2 bars. I did use this at one time and it wasn't like waiting for dial up. Hope this helps.

Update- We went with Cingular/AT&T. We dealt with the store in the Super Target complex by the 535/192 and dealt with a young lady named Minelly. I have to say that she was really good and nothing was too much trouble. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for good service to go and see her. Number is 321 677 0022.
