ATTWS in the home stretch
Ok, just a little ranting and raving about the final days of ATTWS. I a partner/mananger of an ATTWS exclusive store in the NYC/NJ market. Just a few observations as of late. The level of rep in the Dealer Services Dept is going way down hill. They are using temps, and must be doing crash course training.

Oh, okay. For what we can share about the buyout without jeopardizing the deal, check out http://www.newcingular.com.
The basics are this: Cingular will take over all ATTWS customers, retail locations, etc. Since no changes will take place to ATTWS customer contracts, we will continue to honor existing contracts for ATTWS customers.
