Cingular Shuts Down TDMA and Analog

Cingular plans to shutdown both its TDMA and analog networks by 2008. Since Cingular get 95 percent of there traffic from its GSM network they find it a natural transition to phase out the TDMA and analog.

 
“It’s basically through people realizing that you’re getting cooler phones and better service off the GSM network,” said Blasi Cingualars spokesman. “The pricing on the devices is better, and you’ve got some good offers out there on the market now.”

It is believe that Cingular still has several million TDMA customers on it’s network. So if you are one of those millions consider yourselves warned.
