To all my blue team members
Also, like you said, not being able to touch out of a market is a real killer; here in Central Florida we work with customers all over the nation on a constant every day basis....i cant even tell you how many activations i've lost, along with qualified contract extension upgrades, plan changes, migrations....etc etc....
Hopefully Cingular realizes the benefits quickly bc its affecting production already 1 month in.
cingulars two mother companies are bell south and SBC.
each mother company had its own billing system. those cingular customers with each respective mother company inherited the original billing system... which means that a customer in your area can be on a different billing system than the other. however if you have access to one billing system the care reps should be able to access any market in that billing system, but activations are still market specific.
