Cingular tower location site?
Forum Mobility Networks : Cingular - Cingular tower location site?
Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)
Would anyone know of a Cingular tower location website? I'm currently a
Sprint customer looking to change becuase of poor reception at home. Sprint
has a site, sprintsites.com, that shows all their towers. Was wondering if
Cingular had something similar. Google searches have produced nothing. Want
to see before I buy and try.
Thanks,
Stu

I find towers in my area, but no indication of which hold Cingular cells.
They have a "select a carrier" feature, but that seems to be based
on user input.

Actually, Americans are more likely to be terrorists than foreigners. With all
the murderers, rapists, wife-beaters, the bloods and the crypts and the
KKK...it's no wonder it's easy for America to blame foreigners for ALL the
problems.

You didn't give a city or other location. Try
http://www.cellreception.com

Tried that site, it's useless. All based on anecdotal evidence, people
with varying phone models, varying degrees of issues, and primarily
gripe-driven anyway.

Saw that site but it just gives tower information and does not list what
carriers use the tower. That is one thing Sprint does well is list their
tower locations. I'm guessing Cingular does not want to make it available to
its customers or potenetial customers.
And, no, to the others. I'm not a towel-head terrorist. Just wanting to know
if there is a Cingular tower near me. I'm just outside St. Louis in a
somewhat rural area. I don't want to buy and try without some idea where the
tower might be.
Thanks to all,
Stu

You didn't look in the right section of that site! There is reporting
on user experience, but there's also a section of the site where it
shows towers in an area. They are *not* the same. If you just looked
at the gripe section you didn't "get" it!

You either didn't look at all of that site (cellreception.com) or have
a very wonky browser. If you go to cellreception.com and put in the
name of a city it will show you all registered tower locations *and*
it shows who uses that tower. In my area it shows the name (not
necessarily the "current" name e.g. it will say VoiceStream I LLC
instead of T-Mobile and it will show USWest rather than Qwest.) When
you click on a tower it will show what service uses that tower (or who
is the tower registrant.)

Good site. I now know the location of my nearest Nextel tower. It would
be nice if you could pick a city and also a service so that it could
show you only the towers that serve that system. Thanks for the site info.

I asked CellularOne for a list several years ago.
I could come into their office and look at a map that had lat/long printed
on it, but I could only get it by showing up at the office.

If I look for "calistoga, ca", I get a Google map that shows the towers at
Robert Louis Stevenson State Park. But the detail under each orange
pushbutton looks like a tower owner, and not the radio owner.
Is this different for your area?

Which Cellular One did you go to? Aren't there 38 companies "doing business
as" Cellular One?

I didn't know any still were...
I started with Redwood Cellular, who disappeared into Cellular One, then
AT&T-Wireless and now Cingular.
My bill said Cellular One at the top at the time.
I think the customer service office that I would have to visit was in
Fairfield, CA, about an hour's drive from my house.

I think I missed that one. I was with Redwood Cellular in Napa until about
95, when I could get a nearly free Motorola 550 to replace my 3w luggable
phone by switching to Cellular One. Not long after I did that, Redwood
Cellular was purchased by Cellular One.
Now, 10 years later, I've only raised my Motorola model number by 1. ;-)

That only seems to work when the carrier owns the tower. Here in MO, a lot
of rural towers are ownen by a private company. Here's the listing on a
tower near me: http://www.cellreception.com/tower [...] id=1247452
Carrier info is not provided though I was able to email the contact and
found out. It would be nice if the carriers were listed on privately owned
towers.
