Does this also include the Suncom customers who were forced to switch to Cingular because when the merge happened Suncom left the area?

Will we be notifed or something? I loved Suncom's minutes and had to go to a Cingular plan when they left the area. Ended up just cancelling Cingular down the line...

Yes, we were told we had to get a cingular phone. We've been recieving letters reguarding the merger for months.

How is going from unlimited minutes to a set amount of minutes, better? Especially when my friends are using other service providers. Suncom was owned my AT&T, but split after the merger and went regional to where customers could not use them. Cingular refused to let us keep the same plan. This is coming from somebody who use talk 6-8000 minutes every month. Luckily alot of my friends moved to Verizon when our contracts ran out. I want my ETF back!

Blame the FCC for this one. I believe Cingular had to divest some of their markets where they had too much bandwidth, and traded them to SunCom. They probably received your market in return. I guess you could blame SunCom for picking your market and not a different market. ;)

All of the above is correct. Cingy is trying to hit me up for $900+ over this(multiple lines). I told them what they could do with themselves.

I used Suncom for a business that I was running, and when the switch happend, I was told to get a new phone, or face that my service would be shut off.

Yes, Suncom customers were told to switch to Cingular... or else. I know of a handful of people running around the Richmond area with old Suncom "UnPlan" unlimited airtime plans who are just waiting for the day Cingular pulls their plug.

The entire Suncom-to-Cingular conversion process was a nightmare. Extremely long lines at the Cingular stores. Very few phones to go around, if any. Very tight security due to the assaults on employees and their property (shootings, stabbings, tire-slashings, etc) which resulted from the short tempers over the whole situation.

Just out of curiosity I stepped into one of the former Suncom stores about two months into the conversion process. There still was only one phone model available, but I couldn't ...
