Great customer service from Cingular

On my way to the White Salmon River this weekend my cell phone lost its signal when were were nearing Mt. Adams.  I turned it off to save the battery and what!? it turned back on.  Then it turned itself off.  this continued for a while until I pulled the battery out.  Putting the battery back in only continued this.  After the weekend I tried it again and the same thing.  What gives!

So on Monday I went down to the Cingular store in Pacific Place Mall downtown.  They guy listened to what was wrong, looked at it and asked when I bought it.  I got the phone sometime in March or April which is over 30 days by a long shot.  He didn't ask any other questions and said okay, we'll send you a new one.  It had to be approved by the manager later that day and he said I should recieve it via Fed Ex on Wednesday.

Well, today is Wednesday and I have a brand new phone.  I put the old one in the box, taped it up with the provided tape, slapped on the new mailing label and done!

I am extrememly impressed with how Cingular handled this and I am a happy customer.  I think that this is worth sharing.

I am impressed.  Good customer service can make or break a company.  Sounds like that have you as a satisfied customer.

When I had this tiny, blue Nokia phone with T-Mobile the screen would always crack and I would call them up with the model and they would do the same thing.  I didn't have an extented service contract or anything.  Since cellular companies all have similar pricing and services, the customer service is only way to 'sell' their product...mainly through word of mouth.

I never heard of a problem with Cingular.  After our contract with Allel end in a year we will switch to Cingular.
