Former ATT Wireless customer plan options
I am a former ATT Wireless customer with a sponsorship account, and I could use some help with new plan options. My contract expired.
As I understand it, we can no longer buy ATT phones and I would like to get a new PDA or high-end phone. I am happy with my current plan.
Is there any way to get a new phone without buying it elsewhere? If I do migrate to Cingular, can I get 2 year phone pricing with a 1 year contract? Any special deals or promotions (like free early evenings) upcoming?
Any answers and suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you
I suggest stopping by a store to check out current rate plans or take a vistit to the cingular website. Also have them check VIP offers for you to see if theres anything special thay can do for you.
At least you're in an interesting place with your ATTWS contract expiring, you have the luxury of trying whomever (carrier) you wish and take advantage of their 14-30 day exchange policies...
If you're on a PDA kick, check which carrier offers the one you really want, then check coverage/rates...
What kind of plan are you on with AT&T? I know unfortunately chances are you will be paying maybe a tiny bit more a month, but that will be the way it is with every carrier. At least when you migrate to Cingular you will not have an activation fee.
Tell us what you have on your account and we can try to help you with a plan to the ebst of our ability.

I will try calling Migrations to see what they can offer.
Is it to my advantage to stick with what I have now because they might offer something better later, or are these the best deals for customers who do not want to migrate?
Thank you
For customers migrating, the 200 bonus minutes can be added to any cingular price point, including family talk plans. The 200 bonus minutes are not rollover & are in effect for lifetime as long as the rate plan is not changed. The minutes are available for all ATT migrations through February 11, 2006 only.

That is correct except for 1 small thing- the 200 minutes is not for life, it is only for the length of the contract, i had 3 e-mails regarding that a while ago, not too long ago either, its only for length of the contract 1 year or 2.
I have 2 individual plans. The one that is expired is a local 29.99 plan with 250 mins + 100 mins free for life + 38 bonus mins (388 total) with unlimited m2m and unlimited nights+weekends.
The 2nd line has 4 months remaining on the 1 yr contract. It has 400 mins + 300 addl mins + 68 bonus mins (768 total) with unlimited m2m and unlimited nights+weekends.
I don't really need two lines anymore, and I might cancel the first line and keep the second one.
The service has been great, and I'd like to stay with ATT/Cingular. But I don't want to do a 2 year contract. I think our discount is 30% or 40% off regular equipment pricing.
Thank you
For the first line, cingular has a plan available through Feb 11 only- 29.99 200 anytime minutes and 200 bonus minutes (not rollover)and 1,000 n&w no mtm. Free ld and roaming. Free phone the samsung X497m.
For the second line, you can get the 39.99 nation plan with 450 rollover minutes and 200 bonus anytime minutes with 5,000 n&w, unlimited national mtm, free ld and roaming. The free phone here too.
Good luck!

is only available to customers who received this offer in the mail, according to the migration csr. Is this true?
I didn't want to do a 2 year contract because I will probably be moving soon, and I am on a local plan.
Also, 2 years is a long commitment. I know the company has to recoup its money for phones, but one year contracts with better phone discounts would be better for me (like TMobile).

T-MO has a crap network, they rent space from other carriers like cingular,so T-Mo customers get the leftover tower freq.so sincet hey need money the only way they can do it with low phone cost,so go to T-Mo,where the slogan is "Come to T-Mobile, the most whenever minutes you'll never get to use"
How do you figure that one?
Here is how it goes:
New Cust
$36.00 Activation Fee
-$60.00 off Retail for one year contract
-$120.00 off Retail for two year contract
Migrated customer
$0.00 Activation Fee
-$60.00 off Retail for one year contract
-$120.00 off Retail for two year contract
The discounts are the same with the exception of you paying less on your next bill. That would appear to me that the migrated customer would have the better deal, would it not?

All you ATT Wireless customers are the same. You always want something for nothing. No you arent going to get N/W for free. No you arent getting a two year pricing with a one year contract. Ill tell you what Cingular is giving to a few customers 200 bonus minutes when they sign up. That is about all you will be getting. Sure you have been with ATT Wireless forever and a year and if that company were still around they would probably give you everything under the sea! BUT they arent. When you sign up with Cingular for a new contract you become a BRAND NEW CUSTOMER. You are starting all over again with a different company. Please dont be one of them whiney ATT people and want something for nothing! 👿< >
