Yea.. on the phone with Cingular now.. they're still trying to figure out what it is I owe them for a service that never worked.. I switched to Verizon some time ago, but this damn bill with Cingular won't freakin' go away, I'll be glad to pay it, once they can tell me what the heck it's for !!!!

Happy AT&T Customer
I am actually a happy AT&T Wireless customer because I never switched to Cingular. I migrated myself and my wife to AT&T's GSM plan shortly before the merger and never made the mistake of switching plans after that, which would have required me to become a "Cingular Orange" customer instead of "Cingular Blue."
I needed a new phone earlier this year so I just ordered it straight from Nokia instead of going through Cingular. It cost me $150 instead of $50 but I still have my precious AT&T Wireless SIM card that lets me use the good network. It was a huge pain to set up the data services, but once I did that I have been very pleased. My wife called me today and I didn't even know she was on a cell phone until she told me. I can manually choose between the two networks (they used to show up as "CINGULAR" and "Cingular" with the latter being the AT&T service, but now they both show up as being named "CINGULAR") and it's still worlds of difference. |

well LUCKY YOU.. yes, when I was an AT&T customer, I NEVER had a problem with my phone. when I went to Cingular, I went through 8 phones.. none of which worked to my satisfaction. even if I had a full signal, I would still get dropped and missed calls. Just got off the phone with Cingular, seemed like hours.. but they decided I didn't owe them some $1,000 + and dropped the whole thing, said it was in their error. Long story Wish I could go back to the days of AT&T wireless service.

Food chain
AT&T (the formerly big company) used to own AT&T Wireless. Then they sold the service (but not the ue of the name AT&T) to Cingular, which itself was a joint venture between BellSouth and SBC (formerly SoutWestern Bell).
At this point there was still AT&T, the long distance, networking, etc. company and "AT&T Wireless," owned by Cingular who had to stp using the name AT&T in any form. Then SBC (who owed about half of Cingular) bought AT&T, so you had SBC owning both AT&T and a company that owned the old AT&T Wireless network and customers. SBC decided to change it name to AT&T after the merger. Then AT&T (formerly SBC, formerly SouthWestern bell) decided to buy BellSouth (who owned the other half of Cingular). So now one company, named AT&T, will own everything: The old SouthWestern Bell, BellSouth, Cingular, AT&T Wireless, and AT&T's long distance/networking/etc. business. It's all so simple! |
