Anyone heard anything about the Centennial buy-out?
Hey I was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge of the Centennial buy-out by AT&T. Do you think at&t is going to let centennial customers keep their old plans since most offer free incoming, mobile to mobile, and night & weekends.
Thanks for any info!

If this is handled like other ATT buyouts, the Centennial customer can keep everything the same until they need new equipment. Then they will need to either purchase an unlocked phone in order to keep their old plan. If they want a subsidized phone, though, they will need to sign up on one of ATT's current plans. This is what was done when Cingular purchased the old ATT wireless, and we still have some people on their old ATT plans.
...
I remember the Suncom Cities plans with free incoming. Some people still have those? Nice!
...
I've still got many on AT&T Wireless plans that just buy unsubsidized.
I'm in the Centennial region and as far as we've been told it's the same as always. Keep it until you want to sign a contract. Most end up switching quick enough. Centennial sold phones we sold three years ago.

Any new news on this topic? I wish they would get it over with so they can implement 850 Mhz in our area.

I wish they would get it over with so we can actually use the Centennial coverage. I'm near a border city with Ohio AT&T coverage and Indiana Centennial coverage. By some stupid ordinance we can't allow our signal into Indiana, the tower is two miles away from state line. As soon as the Centennial garbage is done I'll have no dead areas for at least thirty miles surrounding my store.
...
Same here. I keep checking the FCC.gov site for any updates but there hasn't been on since july 23rd.
...
Better than AT&T updates, we haven't had anything since the BAU (Business As Usual) guidelines months ago. The Centennial stores show no change either.

I'm in Central Michigan. Near Mount Pleasant. Very heavily covered by Centennials 850 MHz. Hard to find a place where centennial doesn't work around here. AT&T on the other hand. I have an extremely hard time connecting to their towers at my home and keep getting constantly tossed back and forth between the good signal of Centennial's 850 MHz and the poor signal of AT&T's 1900 MHz in our town, causing dropped calls ALL the time.
...
Ah, for some reason locally we can't even latch onto Centennial. Map shows it at a roaming tower, but you cross the border and it goes to hell.
When I think about it through the Dobson buy out took forever and a day too 🙄

Soon, it will only be Verizon Wireless and AT&T. Then when 4G is up, it may be Vodafone meaning Verizon will change the name to Vodafone and buy AT&T at the same time. haha! Jk, but still, everyone keeps buying everyone. For me, I would love for Verizon wo change their name to Vodafone. I think that would be awesome.
...
I just read that AT&T might back out due to DOJ forcing to them to give up Puerto Rico, which would leave me screwed with two lines that are almost completely useless. SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!! 😢

And centennial controls 40% of the wireless market there, which is 1/3 of their revenue.
...
But does at&t need the Centennial business in PR? The at&t map shows 70%ish coverage there already. Unless at&t wants to eliminate a roaming partner, why bother?

I have no idea. AT&T doesn't need PR. If AT&T really wants this network, they will end up giving it to VZW.
...
oh, and AT&T is giving Verizon Mississippi and most of LA. I bet if AT&T gave Verizon PR (we used to have a network in PR) im sure it would go threw well. If this goes threw, it would fill up the gap for Verizon in Mississippi where there is no Alltel(south West MS).
...
I hopes this process gets done sooner than later. Anyone got ideas on total completion time for Great Lakes Region?
