AT&T and Cingular
Here's what i've noticed as a benefit to the merger.
I live in Atlanta, and about a week ago, a friend and I took a road trip to Florida. There was probably an hour and a half stretch where I roamed onto T-mobile's network. Apparently, Cingular and T-Mobile have a mutual agreement to roam onto one another's networks for no additional charge. All calls that I made out of this area were not charged a premium, and fell within my unlimited roaming plan. At&t apparently didn't have this agreement in place, and had I been there say 6 months ago, it could have been a completely different story.
I think rollover's a great feature to add, but i don't like the cap on the night and weekend minutes. The anytime minutes aren't as good for the money, so I'm pleased to be locked into my contract at this time. Who knows, their packages might get better for at&t merger customers. We can only wait and see!

I noticed how AT&T recently started advertising that they've "doubled coverage", which I believe is from this acquisition. I'm planning on switching to either T-Mobile or Cingular within a month or so..do you think that once the AT&T acquisition has been fully completed into all Cingular, that the prices for Cingular will become cheaper or more expensive? If Cingular becomes cheaper than I'll prolly switch to Cingular--if not, then I'll be switch to T-Mobile. The network is exactly the same for me in California no matter which provider I go with...

Yes this has happened alot to me too. If I travel to a different area than where I live, sometimes the network will change from att to t-mobile. I've called the customer service line and have had the question cleared up for me. What it meant was that there was a t-mobile tower near where I was staying, and the signal strength was more than att, therefore I get the t-mobile service. Even if your network changes you can still make calls, and it's not charged as roaming. All you have to do is dial the area code first, then number.

This happens to me with ATT all the time when I go 2 miles away from where I live to where I work..heh...if I'm charged for roaming I think I may have to take someone out.

so let me get this straight, if I start a new plan today, I won't be able to keep the same plan when the merger is finalized?
