Well, some folks think Cingular is perfect. And still wont admit they
were wrong saying how simple it would be to integrate Cingular and ATTWS
"The Back Office software is the same" they claimed. But they wont
explain why it didnt happen on November 15 as promised.

No hate, just an open mind, as opposed you the NAVAS Cingular is
perfect boring refrain.

Could you please tell me how the back office software (which is what
they were making a claim about) is related to the signs on the stores
(which is what you're complaining about)?

Not that I think Cingular is perfect - I have a 40% problem-free
activation rate with them. 60% of the activations get screwed up. I
knew what to do today (after I talked to my rep), but I have no idea
how I'll be doing exactly the same things tomorrow.

But I can't see what back office software has to do with store signs.

That wasn't any such promise.

So, if some folks think Cingular is perfect, let them think Cingular
is perfect. That's their business.

What you don't seem to understand is that integration takes time. By
law until everything with cleared with federal regulators, Cingular
and AT&T had to remain as two separate and distinct companies. By law
they could not share trade secrets or do any formal integrating until
the merger was approved.

Geez,man, do you really believe that integration of two major carriers
would happen in a months time? Give it a rest.

No new AT&T sales after the end of the year. Since I don't watch TV,
I don't know what was announced on TV.

We got a notice from our master distributor. We won't get paid for
any new AT&T activations after 12/31/04.
