Very arrogant. I can't comment much on Cingular's customer service as nearly all of my Cingular service was under an enterprise-type account that someone else paid for. When you're a customer with lots of lines of service it changes things a bit. I can't complain about T-Mobile at all. Excellent service there. They might be a good fit if you can deal with their reduced service area.

Don't get me wrong, Verizon had great coverage when I was in the middle of the ocean (along with everywhere else). My gripe with Verizon was, I had an LG8100 with 750 anytime minutes and picture messaging (between Verizon users) and free nights and weekends, and I was paying $86.XX/month. I had the phone for 5 months and downloaded 2 ringers in that time. I have no clue why, and Verizon gave me the run around.
I have since switched to TMO with the Blackberry 7290 and soon to be 8700G. I have 600 anytime minutes, MMS, 1000 SMS, free nights and weekends, and Unlimited Blackberry. 99% I do not randomly receive a voicemail from a call that I never knew I got. and 99% of the time I have atleast a decent signal.
I am very happy with TMO in the Hampton Roads, VA area (757). And I get great signal on the base that I work at (unlike Verizon).
