    Default Cingular or I guess AT&T Users

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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
