I have cingular and I love them, I used to have Sprint and I hated them. Solely because I didn't get any reception where I lived and it was 30 minutes outside the Dallas metro, so there was -no- reason to have no service.

But no offense but it sounds like you've been late on a bill before. You should really know the drill by now, after the bill dates due so many day's later it's going to be cut off it really shouldn't be a shock just because they didn't call you.

Either way, I've learned that if you can't afford to pay your cell phone bill then it's best to not have one until you can get a job that can pay for one since sometimes the bill can vary.
