Reports are that Cingular is going to become AT&T this year due to the purchase of Cingular and Bellsouth by AT&T. They are planning to rebrand Cingular, not sure what will happen with the Cingular brand. So all you Cingular haters out there, 2007 brings you a new name to your cell phone provider.

Re: AT&T buys Cingular and will rebrand
They will be phasing out the Cingular brand and switching to AT&T. Wireless will NOT be in the new name.

Re: AT&T buys Cingular and will rebrand
Read this from Bloomberg:
Chicago Tribune news | Registration
which among other articles confirm Wireless will NOT be part of the new AT&T name. The article you refer to merely states AT&T will be back in the wireless business as of 1/15/07.

Re: AT&T buys Cingular and will rebrand
Yep, what I've read it is will be AT&T, the wireless will be there, but sort of implied. Verizon is still Verizon Wireless, but they don't always brand with "Wireless"

Re: AT&T buys Cingular and will rebrand
I don't get it, I saw a "Cingular is now Att" Commerical, yet it's still cingular.com and what not, what will the phones be branded?

I predict you'll drive down the street and see AT&T Wireless on storefronts and billboards this time next year.

Re: AT&T buys Cingular and will rebrand
I looked on Cingular.com and read about the merger. It seems that maybe the wired and wireless phone services will work in unison, if I understand it correctly. Apparently one of the options that will be available for the wireless subscribers will be free calls to all at&t customers, wired or not. This is a step beyond the current M2M free option. I'm thinking the at&t phone service will be combined, but time will tell.

Re: AT&T buys Cingular and will rebrand
I was in love with AT&T and if they had not turned into Cingular, I'd still have them. Cingular is worse than Sprint (now THAT'S bad). I am pretty happy with Amp'd, but I might check AT&T out for business phones.

It remains to be seen how Cingulbar will do as the new AT&T Wireless. I have my doubts. I think they are too big and too bureaucratic now and too focused on only making money. Nothing wrong with making money. But there needs to be other things you focus on too in running a healthy and consumer sensitive company.

Re: AT&T buys Cingular and will rebrand
Everyone I talk to that were old ATT wireless customers liked them far better than they liked Cingular. I really don't care since I use Verizon, but I really haven't heard much great things about cingular.
