New Cingular Activation

[BCYL]

Does it always require a 2-year contract?

Can I opt to sign a 1-yr and pay more for the phone? I don't see this option anywhere on their website

I believe Cingular's website only allows 2 years...

Other resellers/sites however, give you the option of 2 years or 1 year (with usually a $30 charge)

Do you have a Sams Club membership? Their prices are usually significantly cheaper w/o any rebate hassles (for instance, $69 for Black Razr OTD, and a few free phones OTD as well).

Not sure if they offer it on their website, but it's definately possible. Either through a reseller (ex. letstalk.com) or you can call them.

Thanks for the info guys, I will visit a Cingular store and see if they can do it for me.

aphex: unfortunately no, I don't have a Sam's club card. However my employer does offer discounts with Cingular so I should be able to save some money that way.

Now all I have to do is pick a phone...

I just got two phones from them today and yea I have to keep the service for two years, but I have had them for over a year now and have not had any problems. Every time I call customer service they are super nice and helpful. No reason to change that I can see.

I have had Cingular for 4, years I have always had a 1 year contract. I pay a little more for the phones, but I get new ones every year. If you want a good deal go to http://www.letstalk.com/ They have great deals. You will have to call them to get a 1 year contract. My contract is up and I'm calling them to start a new contract and get new phones.

1. How did you decide on Cingular? Seems dodgy...

My daughter has cingular and my wife and daughter talk for free because we both have the same service. Works for us.
