is there an "effective" date for this change?
I just sold one today with a new activation.
It also still gives me the option when I log on to the website.
Did you get some sort of email saying it would be removed?
I have seen several posts saying that it was leaving, but it's still here....

I haven't seen anything about this either. Of course here at the blue call centers we don't hear anything. I've still been telling people that the regionals don't have MTM included. I looked today online and found out they do. Dunno how long that's been going on.

Reginal plans do not include m2m unless you add the 9.99 bolt on feature.

But i havent seen anything about the Media works package going bye bye

I haven't heard anything. It's not listed in the Feb. 11th changes...If it does leave, it will on the 11th. There's quite a few data/voice plan changes taking place then.

I don't see why Cingular would kill their Media Works package. With VZW releasing VCAST at $15 a month ($20 with text) then Media Works is what Cingular needs.

I can understand if they are killing it to redo the package with MobiTV or something along those lines.

I'm sure that the existing customers that HAVE Media Works will be grandfathered as long as they keep the plan they are on. Standard procedure no?

I'm looking at the changes right now...
media works 19.99 will include 1000 sms, unl mms, and only 3 mb media net...

in order to get unl media net, you will have to pay 24.99/mo. and there's no mms or sms bundled with it.

it does truly suck...

Woohoo! We're scraping "take charge"! Are we finally going to be able to support old ATT go phones in cingular stores? Are we just taking the "go phone" name? I heard a rumor awhile ago that they were thinking of divesting the current "go phone" subscribers, but I can't tell from the job aid what will happen.

Well all go phone customers in the divested markets were told today they are being scrapped by suncom.Man they called into care just a little bit aske "what are you gonna do for me?, i told him nothing, you are suncom's issue, call them, then you could hear a pin drop when i said that on the other end. 👿 😈

i agree... they should have had the Media works like this:

19.99
unl txt
1000 mms
20MB wix or something not so small

OR have the new 24.99 unlimited wix package include unlimited txt & mms too.

im glad im grandfathered in with my 1500 txts and unlimited wix.

No way, they could get into a lot of trouble by changing your plan without notification. Especially if you're under contract. In they past they've always grandfathered in older plan features, and I'm sure they'll do the same this time. If not, I'll just have to fling poo.

I asked a rep at my store yesterday about the new media plan changes. He said that the basic will stay the same, but the works will be the same except for the data usage, only 3 mbs allowed. But he also said that if you already have the media works plan with unlimited data, it will not change for you. So if you have it, you keep it. I would suggest that people who don't have it, sign up for it as soon as possible to avoid this change.

Uh, what??? So the rest of us understand what you just said, could you please say that in clear English? I can't imagine that typing like that saved you more than 2, maybe three seconds at most. If you were so pressed for time that those two seconds saved you, aren't there more important things to be doing than posting on a forum?

Proper grammar and correct spelling never hurt anyone. I wouldn't expect you to be the first victim of such.

Confilcting links from Cingular's website. This link: https://www.cingular.com/media/media_purchase shows the old media works, but if you act like you are signing up for a new plan and look at your list of additional features you can add it has the new media works pop up if you click the "MEdia works" link. So it looks like it might have changed over on the first but everything just hasn't been updated. It also looks as if they tweaked media basic too. Luckily i'm on the old media works, but for all customers that haven't switched over yet, this blows.
