I get it everyday. And Cingular is not even in this area.

Or people asking me about their phones. I have no clue about GSM. They want me to show them how to use their phone, or set up vm. Um... No clue, don't sell ther service. Then they get mad at me. My shirt says US Cellular!!

My favorite is when they come in and say that they are with U.S. Cingular. Then I have to ask them to clarify exactly what company that is and they look at me like I'M the idiot! 😕

Omigod!! lol Everything you guys are saying is something I hear on a regular basis. I especially hear "US Cingular" or "Cellular", or most of the time, they think we are just flat out Cingular. They always ask is we caary the RAZR or if we bought out AT&T. LOL I wonder what it is that makes soooo many people make this misake. Are they not paying attention? Or does the average consumer really just not care?? Or maybe both? LOL 🙄

no, methinks the avg comsumer might be illiterate...lol...but seriously, here our ads only run about a third the time Cingy's do, and Cingular and Cellular are only off 3 letters, share the same number of syllables...and both have pointy symbols accented with dots..but it IS stil annoying as heck....
