I've had Cingular service since it was BellSouth service.  I was a 
BellSouth Charter Member, and still have my funky old blue SIM card to 
prove it.  :)  Generally, I've been extremely happy with Cingular in the 
Carolinas over the past 6-7 years.  The coverage is great, the packages 
are usually great (they used to be phenomenal - I still have a plan that 
I've had for 4+ years because it's that good), and there are nice extras 
like really-cheap (or free) mobile<->mobile calls, Circuit Switched Data 
services (so you can terminate a data call at your phone via a laptop), 
and numerous other goodies.

Generally, I'm a happy customer.
