Just got Told there's a legal to Force Migrate and keep contracts.
I just talked to a Operations Manager who was talking about the merger that there is a loophole to migrate you over (force) and make you still have you keep your contract.See if you read the Terms of Service and it says that you must be spend the "majority of your usage on the ATT network to be eligible for service". Now even the the company's are owned by one group they are seperate, different plans, promotions, ETf's everthing.
Now speaking to NEST, national eligibility specialist test. that after seeing it (being off network, for the majority of usage, then they see who's network it is, if its cingular's network, then they would have to either migrate to the their network eith the current contract they had on att, or they can be cance...

Here's from the Terms of service READ Q&A 2 and 3 , Say hello to Cingular :
Addition of a new T&C for all 2G and 2.5G mLife Local, mLife National, mLife Digital One Rate, mLife Shared, and mLife Family plan collateral.
"We may terminate your service if a majority of minutes in any three month period are used off the AT&T Wireless Network."
Question 1: What will happen if the majority of my minutes are not on the AT&T Wireless Network?
Answer: AT&T Wireless will contact you to inform you of offers available, including but not limited to cancellation of service.
Question 2: This seems like a huge hassle!
Answer: It can seem that way, but the good news is the majority of all our customers are unaffected by our policy update. I...

That means that the majority of usage is on another carrier like T-Mobile, Sprint, etc. Since AT&T and Cingular have merged, it is now one company regardless of what network the phone says.

Actually, sorry thats not true, they are owned by one company, but they are seperate plans, seperate terms of service, seperate early termination fees, seperate phones, that's why, they tell you nothing on your service changes, your terms of service stay the same.
Its the same thing as the Owner of Ceasar's pizza, mike illitch, he owns the Detroit Red wings and the Detroit Tigers, he can't switch them from one to another for players.
Now if you call in and listen they tell you everything remains the same, thats because they are seperate entities, owned by one group the previous policy was only on the ATTWS side, the policy was never by cingular, and that policy is fully enforced, i had a guy call in and they CHOSE to Terminate his serv...

It costs the company money for you to roam off network thats why they have that kind of policy. If you are using the majority of your minutes off network you are costing the company more money. Its the same concept with international roaming. If you turn you phone on while roaming internationally and someone calls you and you dont pick up, YOU are still being charged for that call!!! It costs the company money and they dont want pay anymore than they have to, and if you are costing them money, your out! ☹️

I agreed with you the two company's do too, thats why that policy is there and enforced!!!

except Cingular agree to consilidate both Cingular and ATTWS into 1 company by may 1 2005 according to both all FCC filing and press releases to get FCC approval of the buyout. Making the roaming issue a mute issue. Please look at my full explation in the cingular forum for more information with back up on all my claims unlike BlueGuy who just makes claims.

You Know blueguy you argument sounds good in theory however that disclaimer was made and enforced so that cust who were using mins off the AWS network, on another carrier's network, or in a non-oera compliant area, would not continue to have service on the AWS network b/c AWS would pay for that roaming and not charge the customer. so you see this was done to prevent large amount of roaming that AWS would have to pay, now then Cingular bought the AWS towers so they are Cingular, and the T&Cs that you love so much do state that they can be trans to another carrier which was how Cingular was able to keep all those people on contract, also means that all things AWS in the contract were changed to Cingular. So that means that as long as more than...
