Default Goodbye Cingular, it has been a fun ride.. but your time has come to an end.

A "planned" rebranding of the company. It will now be known as AT&T.
Didn't all the AT&T customers just have to get used to calling themselves Cingular customers?
Now the tables have turned. So I guess that new iPhone will say AT&amp;T on it then instead of cingular? geeshh what a waste of money to switch everything over AGAIN!!<ul><li><a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/299423_cingularatt12.html">Link to article</a></li></ul>

Default Great, let's create more confusion. People are finally starting to get used to the Cingular name...

let's change it again and keep everyone guessing.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with this, since I'm an AirTouch customer...errr...I mean Verizon Wireless.

Default On the one hand, it will be great confusion for my (client's) customers. On the other...

I have them personally, and they have sucked royally since they became Cingular. Guess they think that changing back to AT&amp;T will give them credibility.

Not so much credibility if they keep up the same stellar (cough, choke) customer service they now have.

Default I was with AT&T for years, and I had to drop Cingular a few months ago

I had my same old school digital phone for years, and they kept shutting down towers so eventually, I could barely ever even use my phone. I couldn't even hold a call for more than a minute or two driving on I-405!

Given this, they wouldn't even hook up a long time month to month customer with their new phone/technology without a new 2 year contract, and higher rates than the competition!

Buh-bye Cingular, hello T-Mobile - same phone number, lower monthly rates, good reception, decent enough customer service, couldn't be happier!!!

Oh yeah, Bank of America sucks too!! Don't get me started... ;-&gt;
