Cingular Reverting To AT&T Brand (Corrected)
Why not just a new name.
Why not just get a new name all together!
Think Verizon
It's already confusing customers that say they're Cingular when they're still on AT&T and now Cingular customers will think they're AT&T and the AT&T customer will be completely confused just make a new name AT&T has a bad rep around here and Cingular isn't that much better. New all together company, new name!
My guess is that Cingular/AT&T will launch a HUGE marketing campaign once they complete the name change. And the customer service is getting much better. My last couple calls have been almost Verizon-esqe. Very impressive.

psh what do multi-billion dollar corporations know anyways someone should've asked me
Obviously they know something you don't unless you have a multibillion dollar bank account...
And I honestly feel that it will be orchestrated correctly. Their customer service has made great strides in the past month and I honestly feel that they are on the right track.

I've always been fond of "CinguATT".

I agree. For customers, there is no difference between AT&T and Cingular. I work in wireless, and whenever a "former AT&T" customer walks in to my store I ask which carrier they are with. 95% of them still claim that AT&T Wireless is their provider. If you look at the drawing board now, Cingular is on top. Why do they want to change their name? Why not take that money and be more constructive. Like improve customer care. Maybe build out more towers so they do not have to rely on roaming partners to provide their network? I donโt know, maybe I am way off. ๐
Cingular is not currently at the top. The only metric that they are rated the best in is total subscribers. They are losing in every ...

i can here me now said:
Like i was telling some one earlier: Cingular is just like a NFL team saying its the best because it has more players than any other team but still is losing everygame you play.
For now.... ๐
To be honest, I don't care what 250 million other people think of a service. I only care what I think of it. If it works for me, it's good. If it doesn't work for me, it's terrible. I don't care how many other subscribers they have.
Like the automotive industry. GM is the world's largest auto maker. Does that also mean that GM creates the best and the most luxurious cars? Toyota is quickly overcoming that and moving up, being proven my consumer satisfaction. GM can possibly stay on top, but things must change. If Toyota overcomes GM, that ...

I agree. I think Cingular will have a great advantage coming up. It'll have a large network, upgrading to HSDPA, possibly with a faster case than Verizon and Sprint are upgrading to EV-DO.
That last sentence wuz kinda garbled, but if youre sayin' that Cingular will get HSPDA out nationwide faster than Verizon will get EVDO out nationwide, I don' think so. Cingular's CEO admitted that theyre 'bout 12 to 18 months behind Verizon in rollin' out their high-speed network.
