Cellular South confirms it will offer the HTC Desire

I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Cellular South. Its like when someone mentions something about Alltel and people think “Alltel’s still around?”

OMG, the desire is friggin awesome!! )

sorry cell south but verizon beats you in 3G coverage in MS now.

hasnt U.S. cellular already stated they will carry the desire too? they said it on ther facebook does that count as a public statment they even said it would be ready in august or they saying it is the first carrier to have the desire before U.S. cellular?

Lol….amazing that at&t is so far behind in the hot android race…

Awesome news. CSouth is known for always getting the “latest and greatest” phones about a year after everyone else has had them. And this will be hitting CSouth just in time for me to renew my contract.

Hopefully this will make this phone a lil cheaper on ebay and it will work ATT, so maybe i can have the Desire

Where is Cellular South? Never heard of them. Probably losers

Blah. I hate Cell South. I have 2 days until my contract is up and I am headed straight to the Verizon store. I have had to many problems with them the past two years. I was AT&T before.

i have never heard of cell south is there a store in texas

Fuck the Desire. I don’t care anymore AT&T won’t be picking this one up.

I live in MS (obviously).

For those who don’t live in the southeast, or don’t care about any company outside the big 4 (sprint, vz, att, tmb), I’ll quickly educate you on cell south

Cell south is a cell phone company that prides itself on focusing exclusively on the south. Too many companies refused to service the south for many years for whatever reasons. This helped cell south gain over a million customers – even with the crappiest phones possible!

Communities adore cell south. From the backwoods ones to the 25k towns.

When Katrina happened, guess what towers stayed up??? CELL SOUTH! Verizon used to roam off their towers for a while before putting up their own frequencies. I used someone’s phone to call home that day.

I’ve never had cell south personally due to living in a town with 3g signals for att/verizon. BUT, I always respect cell south.

And oh yea, their unlimited plan = BANANAS. Look it up! It puts Sprint’s and TMB’s to shame!

Here’s the downfall of cell south though:

1) Phone selection
2) Phone replacement (I’ve known people who had to pay a grip to replace a broken phone because cell south only allows phones stored in their database
3) Refusal to accept “outside” CDMA phones. Tried to sell someone a CDMA phone…cell south wouldn’t activate it. That’s how it is…

Basically though, don’t discount this company. Its rare that someone down here complains about their service (signal or customer) and that’s like that for a reason. Some of yall who whine about the big boys would feel like you’re in heaven speaking to cell south reps. They’re trained to help you first before pointing out your faults. Like a rep should be trained to do!

Sound good to me, I hope it will work great.

Um…this was announced FIRST by US Cellular a few months back.

oh how i do love cellular south, they have been good to me. My contract was up two months ago, with all the new phones out there, I wanted one of the smart phones, but don’t like settling for less crappy one. I applied for a new droid just last night and Verizon sent me a email saying they would need a $400 deposit for service on the 19.99 phone with two year contract. so i declined the offer and was researching other networks when i found this about the htc desire. who says you cant have the best of both worlds. low phone service that I like and does screw me over with over kill charges and a great phone. I will stay with cellular south and wait for the new phone so I can renew. Cell south do us right on the new phone price now, and you just may have life long customers. AT&T, verizon you suck, you just have a good phone.

I miss Cellular South, I had unlimited minutes, text, and smartphone data for $40 (first plan is $80, 2nd line is $40). There is not a network with better coverage in Mississippi, For Ole Miss home games AT&T brings in a portable cell tower and still has signal problems and Cell South users never notice a difference.

Unfortunately the lack of phones finally did me in, I had the HTC Hero and hated it so I moved to AT&T for an iPhone. I miss the service, price, and the fact that they’re a local company but I’m not giving up my iPhone.
