to add me 2 cents, there is only 3 carriers where i live, ramcell (sucks) Cingular which i have, has awsomely gotten better in the last 2 years i get service every where now...and next tell which also sucks where i live.....and anything else that is available it would be long distance for me or any one else to call my cell phone....so im giving big props to to cingular and at&t as long as nothing changes for the worse (pricing), as long as it gets better...

[flash24]

I'm staying at tmobile for quite a while not because they have the best service. Its because their affordable


I~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~im staying staying sj

Oh NO! Not again! I used to have OGO under AT&T wireless. Their service and coverage are not that good. Guess I have to call cingular and cancel my blackberry before AT&T get a chance to have me as their customer, and join other service. That SUCKS!

[play11dg]

Oh wait a minute, after post first message, I read carefully. Do I have to replace sim card for my blackberry? Will they give me sim card for free? They better be because last time my sim card for OGO got burned out so I got replaced new one for 25 dollars. That was about 4 years ago.

Even thou the NEW AT&T and AT&T wireless were/are different companies. The name AT&T and cell phone do not mix. Even thou, the new AT&T parent company was/is different.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~sims card will probably be compatible so we probably wouldn't have to change a thing, all programming and product will just be transfered to at&t so they will have all records of our product and sims card and won't have to change a thing, that's what I think but could be wrong, all new product won't need sims card probably, at&t dosn't use a sims card right?

AT&T is using the same network as Cingular. Same everything, it is just a name change. Some people are so fed up with AT&T Wireless, they want nothing to do with new AT&T. I wonder how many people left AT&T to go to Cingular, and now AT&T now owns them...(of course a different company, but with the same name).... I hate AT&T.

It's just a simple name change.... Nothing as far as the network it's self. Although, I do enjoy looking at posts and such saying they are leaving because the name changed... NEWSFLASH, cingular has been ATT for a long time now. They are just now chaning the name back to ATT from Cingular.

The only thing (on the horizon) that is going to change is simply a new brand. A lot of cingular things will remain as far as branding things, such as the "raising the bar" For the most part it is staying...

Yep.

I work for a MAJOR telecom and when I hear
people saying they are going to the competition
to get landline service because they aren't happy
or satisfied with the service, I just laugh my a ss
off. I can't say it to their faces but what I'm
thinking is this:
Hey stupid, who do you think owns and
maintains the plant? WE DO!!!! Your dailtone
comes from OUR central office whether you
get it from us or XYZ Company.
So go right ahead and buy your landline service
from one of our competitors, just don't forget who's
running the show.

Most people only see what's at the surface and
don't realize how large the infrastructure is. It's
the same with the wireless network. They think
that AT&T is going to come in and install a new
network which is going to affect their very reliable
Cingular service. It's not their fault they aren't
smart like us.

ATT's name is more known
nothing will change but the name

When cingular bought at&t wireless, they only bought the towers and customers. They could not use the name. Thats why they never switched to it.

Most people aren't dumb like that, they just don't want to pay their money to a company that treats its customers like crap. AT&T, and its spun off AT&T Wireless is famous for this. Cingular has bought everything AT&T Wireless, but were a seperate company. (basically a merge) They kept the Cingular name. From my own experience, it doesn't matter who runs the so called "show", if I am treated good, the service is adequate, they have my business. (if the service was adequate, but the customer service was crappy) then they won't have my business. I really do hope that AT&T blows away the competition with great service and great customer service...it will take a while to rebuild that image.

ya know it funny that people hate AT&T because of poor service for what ever reason.

Every day because of where I work I'm constantly converting customers that were on the AT&T services, and I'm switching them to new services.. (Cingular), now I'll be switching them back... hehe
