Old handset on Cingular? Better upgrade quick

If you are with Cingular Wireless and have been looking for incentive to upgrade your aging handset, Cingular might be able to help you make that decision sooner rather than later.
To encourage subscribers to update their handsets to ones which operate on the newer GSM band, Cingular will soon begin charging its subscribers still on the older services a $5 per month surcharge.
As part of Federal regulations, carriers are required to provide analog cell services until sometime in ‘08, but that doesn’t mean they have to make it easy for people to stay.
Cingular:
“Customers can avoid the charge by switching to our GSM network and equipment. The combination of coverage, service quality, devices, and advanced features on GSM is superior to TDMA.”
Fair enough I say. So, ditch that old brick and upgrade to something new and exciting, whose battery lasts more than 90 minutes on standby, else you’ll pay for it.
