I have had cingular for the last 2 years. It used to be 3, now I just have to hit 7 once to instantly delete the message. The voicemail system here was recently changed and has vastly improved. Before, you had to call from your actual phone and dial in a PIN. Now, you can call from any phone and dial in the PIN or set it up so that you can call from your phone without a PIN. That is much better. You can listen to your messages by just pressing 1 button, without having to fumble around to enter your PIN. What really sucked before was that, since you had to call from your phone, when roaming to our locations in Mexico, I couldn't check messages at all even though we had international roaming activated. But the voicemail system wouldn't recognize the number of your phone because of the international prefix, and that was the end of it. Or if you are out of battery, now you can check messages from another phone. That's a much better system.

Off topic but still cingular related.
Has anyone on the forum in the Atlanta area had the problems over the last few months with Cingular that I have had? The coverage seems to be getting worse and worse. In areas like my house where I used to have rock solid signal, I now have to move outside in the driveway to get a just barely useable signal. I have also found that in general around the Atlanta area the coverage is spotty at best. Going down an interstate like I-20 on the east side of Atlanta, one would expect reasonable coverage, but I drop in and out so often I might as well not even try to carry on a conversation. One day recently in the space of about 6 miles the phone dropped out at least 4 times and I had to re-dial.
I have talked to other Cingular customers with much newer phones than mine and they are reporting the same exact problems. Cingular seems to have no answers when I call their customer no-service department. They tell me to switch my phone off, wait a couple of minutes, and then turn it back on. They also say not to leave the the phone turned on all the time, for example, to turn it off at night when I am not using it. These sound like answers they have cooked up to just stall their customers because they can't fix the real problems.
It was NOT this way in the past. I have been a Cingular customer since long before they were Cingular, over 10 years now, and it has gotten so bad that I am ready to close my account. Problem is, I am not sure if any other provider is any better.
