America’s leading cell phone carrier, Cingular Wireless, claims to have carried over 500 billion minutes of network usage in 2006, reporting a noticeable increase in minutes per subscriber.

Cingular customers now consume an average of 755 minutes of airtime each month, the company reported, noting that the average length of a cell phone conversation has increased by as much as 15% in some markets. A $13 billion series of network enhancements over the past two years is being credited for this trend.

“It’s common-sense business. If you give customers a quality product, they’ll use it more often,” commented Cingular’s president of network services, Ed Reynolds. “The investment we made is really paying off for us and our customers. People have noticed the difference and are taking full advantage of our services.”

The upgrades have given customers access to over 45,000 cell sites throughout the United States, “resulting in a substantial reduction in dropped and blocked calls, as well as improved voice quality,” the company said.
