AT&T To Begin Un-branding Cingular Monday
A very happy Verizon Wireless sales rep!
It's the network!!! π
Can't wait til Monday! Cheers AT&T! π
Verizon as of January 2007, the company served a total of 57 million
When I started selling it was more like...
Cingular 63 million
Verizon 48 million
....and that was just a year ago. They only passed Verizon because of the purchase of AT&T Wireless. Most of those customers have left or are leaving and Verizon is clearly benefiting. It will happen sooner than you think. π€€
Sorry Cingy, but not even the iPhone can save you now. π
Don't put words in anyone's mouth. Verizon will not surpass AT&T. This name change is NOTHING like the AT&T Wireless buyout. This is just rebranding and will not cost anywhere near the money it took to integrate networks. And plus, now we have 2 communications giants joined together to fund the wireless end of AT&T.
And forget your LG Shine, no one cares about that. Just look at the response at the release of the iPhone, it made headline news.
Don't fool yourself with your bs statements, Verizon will only fall from here.

Don't respond to trolls, you're feeding a monster and you're absolutely right. No one gives a rats a$$ about the LG Shine. The iPhone will do extremely well just based on the fact that it's an apple product. I'm no fan of Apple or the iPod but I know the iPhone will be a hit.
Besides, who wants crippled bluetooth and a lame OS with an arrogant carrier who wants to dictate what you can and what you can't do on your OWN phone that you purchased with your OWN money! Verizon is the ...

And I definetly concur with the comment that Verizon is COMMUNIST!!!!
Not only will the iPhone give Cingular a really, really big boost in subscriber ship, but ALSO the video sharing service that is suppose to be launching this summer.
how are you suppose to print picture at a kiosk at Walgreens or wherever???
Like I said, removable, anybody who has any brains, stores at least some things externally
And yes, I agree with one of the other posts, Steve Jobs is all about "control"
how are you suppose to print picture at a kiosk at Walgreens or wherever???
--------------------------------------------- -----
Well, for that reason, Steve made the phone compatible with iTunes.
Put it in the dock, download all the info, get out your media card reader, put the pictures on your card, drive to Walgreens (Or use the online picture submition)...
There you go... I just saved you some gas...

And now, Verizon has taken MCI's bloody past into it. MCI's scandals are now part of Verizon. You've got to take the bad with the good.

Your right why have competition at all. Just let good'ol ma bell take care of everything for us. That*s America for you....bigger is always better. Lets have one store (Wal-Mart) for all our products. Let*s have one company for all out telecom needs.
Plus you*re no supporting a cold heartless monopoly. π
I'm not saying I want only one company for all the needs, Verizon takes advantage of their customers choice by blocking the abilities of thier phones so customers must use mobile web to download content. That is not fair.
I just don't want Verizon to be one of those competitors. I want other companies out their, especially T-mobile, to take the number 2 spo...

oh and what is Verizon Communications, no different!!!!, verizon is a congolomeration of former baby bells, and a year or two ago bought MCI, the battle will be between two giant telecom companies, Verizon and AT&T
Yeah but they didn't rename it to MCI and carry that bad image. Unlike Cingular going to AT&T.
1. The phones incapability's (lack of 3G, price, no insurance support, etc.)
2. The lawsuit filed against Apple over the name "iPhone".
Cingular may get a lot of sales out of the iPhone, but not enough to remain the leader. Nor will customers be leaving their current cell phone service provider to switch to Cingular and have to pay $599 for a phone that lacks in many areas.

And yet, people every day are leaving Verizon. Do you know how many people left when the whole V710 debacle happened?
Verizon is horrible. No perks at all.
Cingular has Rollover
T-mobile has My Favs
Sprint has 7PM Nights and the whole Overage Protection...
What does Verizon offer? Just crippled phones and crappy service?

Sprint also has SERO.... π
We will see what all these Cingular fans say when Verizon does take the number one spot this year.
*End flame war*
It's not the network I guess.

Wasn't Verizon Wireless supposed to take #1 by 2005? Here it is getting close to 2 1/2 years later, and it hasn't happened yet.
It's not the network I guess.
Wasn't Cingular supposed to have at least one quarter where they exceeded Verizon in new acts since 2005?
When I was able to make a call right after new years on my cingy phone but not my verizon all I could do was shake my head.
No more locked Red UI BS.
No more gotta pay for this, gotta pay for that if I wish to change my ringtones or wallpaper.
No more $200 phone bills because I happ...

P.S.---> Verizon will be passing Cingular is Subscribers very very soon π€£

I have switched from T-mobile to Verizon and I have to say I hate all this bullSh*t about the Red Bar UI!! Its not that bad...actually i kinda like it...its simple and u still have all the features of the phone...i have the EnV and the bluetooth transfering is fine. when i was switching i was considering Cingular but considering they rip u a new as*hole when getting txt plans it made my switch alot easier...plus i can't say Cingulars phone lineup is that great at all...i was looking at the Sync, that was the only phone i was interested in and even that kinda blew...everybody will have there opinions and each carrier will satisfy somebody. Why fight over it?
P.S.---> Verizon will be passing Cingular is Sub

Stereo Bluetooth? I just want bluetooth to use for a headset.
Texting is what i use the most and Cingular lost when compared to Verizon's pricing
& since most of my friends have VzW and its Free IN txting that made up my mind.
now that cingy doesnt have to deal with 5 different systems and combining the old ATT wireless over you will see them striving to enhance there 3g network, the introduction of the iphone and the easy use of combined billing...ATT has a lot going for it that many people will take advantage and use.
Or maybe, in 10 years we will be cingular again... π π€£
Ace2525 said:
also back on topic...i think that its a really bad idea to rename cingular...i think Cingular was headed in the right direction but now renaming them At&t is BADDD...although nothing is changing but the name, uneducated wireless users will AVOID at&t at all costs because the name has such a bad rep from the past.
Thats perfectly fine and I give Verizon the upper hand with the $5 unlimited in Txt packaging. Right now cingy has nothing.
The phones however are better with the Cingy lineup then what Verizon has. The Red UI with all there phones may be easy to use and function (BC every phone has the same design) but it gets old..just like moto and there razr designs. Bottom line here is that I give up paying $$$ if I want to try to customize anything on the phone, wallpaper, ringtones, graphics...the lockdown of the bluetooth for OBEX....come on Verizon!
Since I own the Sync and others I know first hand what does what...The sync doesnt even look like a PDA phone..its just an over optioned C417. Great screen...

What the hell....?
So, they're making you pay for downloading ringtones/games/apps and such, and you're wasting your minutes at the same time?
