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!
=)

i'm at work in an at&t wireless owned call center, and my phone still says AT&T Wireless
...
ok, so just got notification that our Nokia phones are now displaying the Cingular Alpha Tag and REQUIRING 10 digit dialing
...
It's 445 this afternoon, i'm in the northern panhandle of West Virginia (Pittsburgh area) and my phone still says AT&T Wireless.
...
I am here in San Diego it's 2:14pm and my phone still say's ATT Wireless.
...
Here in Oklahoma City, our phones are switching. My wife had to power cycle her phone to get it to switch. Mine happened w/o a power cycle.
...
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!
