liloj

yay..so where do i get the little cingular stickers for my phones or will the ATT ones be a classic

pawsox5jc

will att adapt cingulars "rollover minutes", if so that would be awesome. Maybe att cusomers will get some better customer service too

dallison

awe will be fully cingular, everything that is available to cing. former att cust will be elegible for.

i think rollover is avail on local plans only, unless that has been changed

Existing at+t customers aka "blue" customers, will have a chance to migrate over. Cingular will let the customer migrate regardless of contract (even including deposit customers), to get a new plan with cingular and new equipment which includes phone and sim (must sign a new agreement w/cingular to get discounted costs on equipement). Cingular will not let any "blue" customer use cingular plans until the equipment change is completed. This change will also include special promotional rates plans ONLY available to at+t customers. Rollover is exclusive to Cingular so you would have to migrate over to get that option.

out of all the major carriers at+t customer service is last (6th place) and cingular is 4th.

Seems that everything revolves around a new plan.

THis is huge...i am waiting to see if this is going to spark more business for other carriers or not....

liloj

so...we have to get new equipment? or we can use the current still? im confused..i like my phone(s) and plans just how they are...will i need to do anything..or just stay like this?

pawsox5jc

you can get anything you want....if you sign up for another 2 years!

you can still use your at+t equipment, but you wouldnt be able to use cingular plans. Once you get the letter from cingular saying migrate over, you will see the promotions and deals they will be offering, and it will be a no brainer to migrate over.

liloj

but..what about data plans also? does cingular offer the same prices? or will have to start paying the price they have? cause ive got an unlimited plan for 39.99 and it goes for 79.99, guy at ATT got me some dicounts..i wanna keep it that way!

dallison

we really don't know whats gonna happen until they take over with the plans. if you have a gsm america plan that will prob stay the same, but the others are up in the air

YuppieCL

thats because they're in the service business... not the phone business...
it wouldn't make proper business sense for any provider to give you a free or discounted phone without an agreement....

YuppieCL

as long as you're keeping your job, thats cool....

whats going to happen to management jobs in general at attws?

dallison

i am guessing for now most of the DM's will prob get shuffled around since their jobs may be eliminated.
thats as of today
