Cingular or I guess AT&T Users

[koukis14]

I just looked down and my phone no longer says Cingular on the screen, it now says AT&T. Yet my girlfriends phone still says Cingular. Anyone else?

We're slowly in the process of changing over all the phones to say AT&T instead of Cingular. Some will do it before others do. Cingular officially took the name AT&T yesterday/today. We had to re-brand the store last night to make everything say AT&T and the jack is officially gone. Cingular is officially no more

Oh well that would explain it. My girlfriends phone is a hunk of shit. Whats a good phone in your opinion. Oh she has a Razor. I have one of the sony ericcson walkman phones and I love it but she doesn't like it.

[VooDooXII]

It was AT&T for me two or three years ago when I got my first phone, and then it became Cingular...that's still there, but I guess it'll become AT&T again.

Haha....well the new razrs are pretty good. They have a 1.3 megapixel camera and an mp3 also. It pretty much has all the features your phone has and blows the old razr away. It also has the fastest internet out of all our phones. The pearl is pretty good too and pretty cheap now too, so is the blackjack

Eh Cingular was also AT&T in a way, just disguised as another name....

I will let her know, thanks.

I don't understand it at all...

AT&T Wireless -> Cingular -> AT&T again?

LOL not quite. Cingular and AT&T were two ENTIRELY different systems still. Look at Any old Cell chart ratings and you will see the AT&T system actually still had its own towers. AT&T users will have better coverage now that both systems are actually merged.

The thing with the screen started happening ATLEAST 2 weekends ago. I was in gainesville visiting my old store and my old coworkers 8525 came up at&t

[xaznstylegrlx]

my phone saids either.... depending on the area that I am in

As bad as i hate to say it, im thinking about going back to work for them...Once EVERYTHING IS done, its going to kill some others or tmobile and sprint will have to do some drastic measures

[xaznstylegrlx]

well at&t needs to raise some more bars because I don't get reception in my own apartment.

Man you need to come back NOW!! With the release of the Iphone AND Video calling at the same time, it's going to kill the competition. There are going to be so many people doing port-ins just because they want the Iphone....which means more commission for me

Besides, what you mean once everything is done? All this was, was just a huge name change man. There isn't going to be any change in service at all, it's still good old Cingular service under the "New" AT&T name

LOL the entire AT&T system doesnt run cingular right now...Theres some outdated ones they are still working on and once that gets done, holy shit...

I wouldnt even CONSIDER an Iphone til they get them with 3g

Hah there is no "old" AT&T anymore. As of 2008, TDMA is out the door. As of March, all the TDMA pre-paid phones were terminated. Verizon is having that problem as well, you know how they pride themselves on having "the largest" network and , they're able to say that b/c they bought out all the old TDMA towers that other smaller carriers couldn't afford to support anymore and went out of business. For example, if something happened to Metro PCS and they had build some towers, and went out of business, Verizon would come in and buy those towers. Well guess what's happening now, the new Verizon phones aren't supporting TDMA anymore, it's pointless. So the "largest all-over network is slowly going downhill

It's pretty shitty the Iphone isn't coming with 3G But to the average consumer/customer, they could care-less about that and have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what 3g is anyways

AT&Tingular FTW

Yeah fucking morons........what is 3g again?

[gtikid]

It's pretty much internet speed on a phone. It allows for streaming video/music/video calling, etc....

Oh ok. Yeah I fuck off enough at work as it is, I don't need that.

To me, There is no iphone WITHOUT 3g. Why the hell would you want a basically PC in a phone and not be able to use its capabilitys?

jullian, as far as the TDMA thing, i heard that they are trying to convert those over to GSM. I may be wrong but eh, when you hear shit from corporate techs, you never know

[Evil Goat]

can anyone tell me how useable the cingular gps is? im currently using the verizon stuff and its very easy to use, ultra reliable, and right on the money about 90% of the time (as far as taking me directly to a numerical address )

Yea the way they were trying to do that was by sending out all the customers who still use TDMA a letter saying "you can upgrade to the "new" AT&T gsm service and receive a new phone and " , and if you didn't switch your phone over, it would get cancelled If you had a TDMA pre-paid, it's already cancelled. And if you have a TDMA post paid, you have until 2008. Also, those customers who have TDMA were also getting charged $5 extra a month for having TDMA

And I agree, not having 3g really sucks. That's why I think i'm just gonna stick with the 8525

first paragraph is 100% on the dot. it was that way last june i had customers coming in with notices lol

8525 is probably the best phone they make right now...Is the new LG phone going to be 3g? I heard it was and if so, it will compete with the iphone better than most people think

The Prada? I have no idea if it's 3g or not, but it'll definitely hold it's own against the Iphone. More than likely it'll be cheaper so it will definitely draw a lot of attention.

Hell yea the 8525 is the best phone out there!! I don't sell it too much though b/c I dont even bother to demo it to people. Most of them are too dumb to operate the phone and more than likely it'll get returned b/c of user error, but the customer comes in saying "the phone doesnt do this how i want it to, the phone bugs out, the phone "....stupid people

yeah the prada. LOL, i knew it was PR something. Fucking crackers not knowing how to operate their shit. I have people come in here with crackberrys all the time that they bought off Ebay then get pissed when i tell them they need a $40 a month because they were too ignorant to see us first
