Cingular is a piece of shit. I used to sell that crap in Radioshack. Motorola phones are nice, but those aren't cingular. Those are motorola! Cingular is just the service. AND THEIR SERVICE FUCKING SUX!OH AND SEREN, you can turn your phone on when you get it! They just say shit like that, because there is a lot of stupid ass people out there that fuck their phone up and then want a refund, becuase they fucked it up. Its real ezy to activate, just go to cingular's website, all you need is the IMEI number on the back of your cell, answer their bullshit questions, and then its activated over the air automatically. Just make sure your phone is off while your activating it. Once the webpage says its done or successful, wait like 1min, then turn your phone on to see if it works. Its that simple.O yes i forgot, you'll need the Sim card number to. I forgot these guys have sim cards now. Its the big ass number on a little card underneath your battery. (If you can't find it, then your just fuckin dumb.) Usually starts out with the nubmer 89011 but I dont know what state your in so could be different. you need the IMEI number its like 11 digits, and the SIM CARD #. I think the sim is like 16 digits, its really long and is located right on the little tiny sim card. The IMEI is printed underneath the battery and it tells you which number is the IMEI.
Also, to get your phones fully charged at the most it will take 2 hours. NOT 24! I dont give a flying fuck what some dumbass at cingular says. If you dont have a charger with a circuit that automatically shuts off your charger when the phone is charging, it will burn up the phone. DONT BUY WARRANTIES, the phone alrady comes with a 1 year warranty. If you just haggle with cingular on the phone, they'll do any damn thing you want. But your phones dont need to be fully charged to activate. They dont even need juice. For the simple reason that i explained above....they activate over the air. But, if you must test it after activation, just plug the charger into the phone and test it with it plugged in. ^^
Also, watch your bill to make sure they dont charge an extra 36 dollar activation fee on your bill because they had to change your number because of their fuckup. OKAY I KNOW THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND NO ONE IS PERFECT, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY FUCKIN DUMB TO SCREW UP THE PHONE NUMBER! Thats like me pullin my dick out and takin a piss on the AC outlet on my wall! *sigh* NOT VERY FUCKIN SMART! I dont know if you got a family plan or personal or what, but family plan will enable a 18 dollar activation, and regular is 36. It changes a lot so not sure what u have. But watch for the activation charge on your bill. Some of the stuff on your bill is confusing its done this way on purpose! That is why these penis wrinkles are getting sued for that right now.
