They will likely keep cingular.com there as a redirect to the new site.

The cingular name is going away in another week.

I would expect the cingular.com site will stay for now but redirect to the new site, either attmobility.com, or you would go to att.com and select wireless (like verizon does).

All of the att sites 'should' originate at att.com and redirect from there.

It is already gone as far as I see. The comercials I have seen in the last few days say cingular is now the new ATT. That means its gone. Well to me anyway!

Well all the stores in my area have been repainted to the ATT theme already.

The "Cingular is now the New ATT" commercials have been running for at least a couple months now... The Cingular name is going away VERY soon.

I don't think they will change it to at&t mobility, communications were sent out that expressly stated not to use at&t mobility in advertising, tag lines, or memo/email signatures.

AT&T Mobility LLC is the legal entity and legal service provider, but the only thing that should be branded with that signoff are bill remittances. Theres a 24 page (yawn 😳 ) PDF file sent out by at&t's branding department that clearly states NOT to use either AT&T Wireless or AT&T Mobility on customer facing products.

Taken Directly from the PDF file

Transition Line
The transition line “Wireless from AT&T, formerly Cingular.” has been created for use
on wireless related, customer facing communications (i.e. communication coming from
both wireline and wireless groups). The primary AT&T signature should be used as a
sign-off.
The transition line is live text, which means that designers must key in the message.
These guidelines outline the specific requirements when creating applications that
require the transition line.
[Note: The transition line will not be used in retail POS, wireless business materials or
sponsorships.]
Wireless from AT&T, formerly Cingular.

The following references are incorrect:
“AT&T Mobility”
“AT&T Wireless”

the last part of your post [Note:...] that's what I was saying. On our business cards it has AT&T Mobility because that is the legal name of the compnay. the brochures do not have it because there is no need to seperate at&t and it's divisions. really. i know what i'm talking about. i know what you read, and that pertains to advertising and verbal reference. on legal statements it will have mobility.

If you'll check the original post, i was referring to what the website url would be. I was simply posting that information to back up my claim that since at&t didn't want at&t mobility in their advertising, then more than likely the website wouldn't be at&t mobility. What people...

Someone should tell that to the department that created the business card layout and the stationary we have in our store, including envelopes we mail to customers.

Yep - There was a notice sent to all internal departments that any advertising using "Jack" was to be stopped immediately. Also, all training material, brochures, print advertising, etc, will start saying "wireless from at&t, formerly Cingular".

OK I'm looking at a print ad from the local paper and it says in one corner "The new at&t" with the globe and "your world. delivered." The other corner says "formerly Cingular." As far as a website the ad says att.com/wireless so hopefully that answers something....

As far as anyone internal relaying timely messages to dealers/stores-LMAO! Today is the 19th and this print add is for the BOGO RAZR deal for Mom's day. Hmmmmm........
