Dropping Verizon For Cingular

I work ata wireless phone store...In light of the newmerger between ATT and Cing., my boss has decided to drop verzion to sell Nextel and Cingular. He sites the reason as that we havent been doing many new activations at all with verizon, and with verizon's NE2 program, wemake absolutely no money of upgrades...So I was wondering, what do you guys think about making this move? Will the New Cingular be better than the old? How do you think it will compare to verizon?

Who is CingulAIR? And yeah you can get shoddy service with analog IF you get a tri mode phone... not too many of the GOOD phones are tri mode tho... But you need to relook at the coverage maps... Cingular is offering MUCH more service in the midwest and west.... it's going to get better as we expand our coverage.

This commercial is not for the public. It was at the meeting (introducing the AT&T employees to Cingular).

Man i gota see that one. That "Can you hear me now" Guy is really annoying. Cingular does 400 hours of testing for each phone but they don't subject us to that testing in their comercials ;)
