    I am a new customer myself but as I know it to be as of now to get the
    rollover minutes Cingular wants AT&T contract holders to go in and sign a
    Cingular contract to get them.

    What drives me nuts now is the differences between stores.

    Even though they all look exactly the same, retailers (some), converted
    AT&T stores to Cingular and the always Cingular only corporate stores, as
    far as returns go, my experience was with a leather case, the stores are
    not interchangeable.

    You could buy an accessory in a AT&T store that changed to Cingular but you
    can't return anything to a Cingular always store. I travel a lot and had to
    visit 8 stores before I found the one that qualified to accept the return.

    I hope this is ironed out soon.

    Strange, Cingular on November 16 had a press release that said they had
    converted all the AT&T Wireless stores to Cingular.

    Yes, they all carry the Cingular signage, but don't try to get a any
    service of any sort in a store that is and was Cingular.

    Yes, by name only. The thing that hasn't changed is their inventories are
    not interchangeable.

    Someday but not anytime soon. For now, you are still an ATT WS
    customer. You can switch to Cingular but you have to be just like a
    "new customer" and pay activation, go thru credit check and all that.

    That is because Cingular and ATT WS are still 2 different companies.
    One is owned by the other just as Pepsi owns Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.
    But you don't go into Pizza Hut to order a taco just as you don't go to
    a Cingular store for ATT WS

    Actually, they now have many store fronts that house Taco Bell, Pizza
    Hut, and KFC, all in one.

    Stores NOT customers. ATT customers can stay with ATT plans for at least the
    forseeable future. I don't think there is any advantage to staying with ATT
    other than not having to get a new phone. I moved over and am very happy
    with the service and support.

    What state do you live in where there's only ~7% tax on a mobile phone?

    I stayed with my ATT plan because of the poor GSM coverage in my state. From
    what I can tell Cingular will not let me continue use of TDMA on one of
    their plans. The ATT plan I have allows me to roam the 11 western states on
    TDMA or AMPS on any carrier for free. GSM coverage out west has a long way
    to go yet to be comparable.

    Also, my ATT plan allows unlimited free incoming text messages. From what I
    can tell Cingular charges per message with not even a minimal number free?

    I see no advantage of Cingular over ATT at this time. I'll stick with my ATT
    plan until I'm forced to change or I can get equivalent service with a
    Cingular plan.

    Same here.........my business uses text messages on a daily basis. I
    probably send 80-100 per month, and receive probably 3 times that
    many. I'm sticking with my AT&T plan, until cingular has something
    similar to what I have.

    No. Cingular bought out AT&T Wireless. Cingular is requiering that all AT&T
    members switch to Cingular once there contract is up. You can stay on month
    to month untill the AT&T Wireless name goes back to AT&T Longdistence. You
    will never have rollover on a AT&T plan. But right now you can switch to
    Cingular and void your contract with AT&T with no early term fees.
