My GSM phone now reads Cingular Wireless, where it has always read AT&T Wireless.

Wow! That was quick! 🙂

you're probably just getting the signal from a cingular cell site.

Very possible, but very doubtful in this case. I've been in the same location all day and this morning it read AT&T Wireless. This afternoon it reads Cingular Wireless.

I had heard that the alpha tag switch over would take effect soon after the deal closed, but not this soon!

8pm in NYC and a few say Cingular. I am guessing this is not a new alpha-tag, but rather a Cingular site being reached. One of the articles made reference to acess to alternate networks being one of the 1st steps in merger/transition. Best wishes to all involved!

Both mine and my wife's phone now read AT&T. I was out today, but talked to someone at our call center and lots of people there were having the same thing happen....switch back and forth.
