1.2 million adds 1st Q
Up to 62.2 million customers. Of those net adds 80% were postpaid customers. ARPU is up to 49.21, up 1.4% versus 1 year earlier and Data ARPU is up to $7.88 up 51% versus 1 year earlier.
Just some of the news for the quarter, more to come!

I thought these numbers were not supposed to come out until tomorrow. How about churn?

😳 what a crap quarter for you guys, I'm sure verizon will smoke that easy. It looks like the tides of shifted before long cingular will be giving away the farm like sprint.
...
im sry but ur remarks are so childish it doesnt mean anything to anyone here. who cares, its just a company its not like my dad owns it or any other family member. if verizon has a great quarter then congrats to them, if we beat them in a quarter then congrats to us. if ur going to use bragging rights from which carrier added the most customers then maybe its time to grow up peter pan.

Fixed. 🙂

Why dont you go back to your Verizon forum. Or has it sunk it that you are NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT wanted here. Have you ever considered that thought?
...
I believe you have been seen in the Verizon forum lately, does this only apply to other people, or will you confine your comments to this forum?
...
You saw me once, 4-5 days ago. I've been on phonescoop for several years and never had I been in there, save for one time when a friend was thinking of switching to Verizon and wanted some info. The more recent time you saw me in there was because I got tired of Verizon morons coming in here to start a flame war. So I stooped to their (your?) level and returned the favor. Capiche?
...
This is the last quarter we will be called Cingular. We are AT&T now, and you don't f*** with AT&T.
So get the flaming out of your system, because no one is going to buy it anymore.
Also,
Verizon sucks.

AT&T's wireless subscriber churn levels improved substantially in the first quarter, particularly among the postpaid customer base, driven by AT&T's premier wireless network performance and its compelling handset selection. Average monthly subscriber churn for AT&T's postpaid wireless customer base was a best-ever 1.3 percent in the first quarter, down from 1.6 percent in the year-earlier quarter and 1.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006. Total churn ...

chainsaw you're so predictable, if cingy hit 2.1 mill you would be doing the happy dance and strutin like you was all that....reality force you to do the 180 🤣 🤣 funny chit

I really don't care about net adds. Sure its great but does it make a difference in my wallet? No. The only thing that matters to me is what goal cingular gives our company every month what goal my store gets and what goal I get and what our end of the month sales numbers are. Thats what makes a difference to me. The more net adds there are just means that the market is further penetrated with less potential sales.

I'm sure the higher-ups in the boardroom do, though.

Do you have some secret info, or are you just a troll? How about you wait until you have some actual information to share.

Actually, it's pretty obvious that Verizon is going to beat those numbers. The only real debate is by how much.
Don't get too upset though... next quarter, the 'iPhone halo effect' should improve things for you guys. 😉

No initial stampede before the end of Q2 from pre-orders and release day mania? That's pretty suprising. 👀

I'll join you in your assumption that Verizon will beat those numbers, I just think that before you say one is better, you should have all the info. And by no means am I upset that VZW could do better than Cingular. I may be on the VZW side, but I can still call a troll a troll, regardless if I agree with the basic point.

We were both right. VZW added 1.7 mil in Q1.
Guess maybe the market isn't as close to saturation as peeps have been sayin'? 😕

Dude, seriously, chill out. Quit drinking the kool-aid.
It's pretty pathetic. 🙄

Hell yeah its possible sprint got close to a mill last quarter, and with cingy only putting up 1.2 🤣 I hope it happens 🤣

I hope these poor net results brings a more aggressive ad campaign. This whole "fewest dropped calls" is getting old, and boring. And obviously it's not working anymore.
...
I wouldn't say it's not working. Isn't it just following a trend and seasonality? The first quarter isn't normally the strongest and I wouldn't say that these results were overly disappointing, although I was expecting a bit more.

just wait until 2nd quarter... alot going on this past quarter. people upset about the at&t thing with reserves and verizon beating us to the unlimited messages ads. also, we've been pushing hard to get tdma customers to switch, which has thrown some customers abroad. we are the only company that has spent the past 2+ years to rebrand sh)t and the like. it's all for an ultimate goal and once at&t or the fcc allow for tdma/analog shut down, you won't have a clear winn...

I am a little bit disappointed with AT&T Mobility, known as Cingular Wireless, for their 1st quarter, 2007 net subscriber growth because this is a decrease from last year and my estimates were for the company to sign up 1.8 million subscribers as they continue to expand their HSDPA markets. Therefore, I was disappointed on the net subscriber sign ups as they came in with 1.2 million. I think that during the 2nd quarter of 2007, my estimates are 1.7 million net customers, as they should re-bound from the decline from 1st quarter 2007 year over year numbers. There seems to also be good channel checks and traffic throughout the distribution channels of AT&T Mobility or Cingular. The Iphone will be launching in June so I think we should see 4th...

Postpaid up and churn down. 1.2 million new cusotmers and people are disapointed? When is the last time Sprint posted numbers even close to this Nextel18? If you ask me 1.2 million for the 1st quarter is nothing to be ashamed of and lowering churn shows that the company is keeping customers.
While there might be another company posting better results we might actually see the opposite. Cingular has been adding customers at a steady rate as has VZW. There are clearly two companies in the nationwide race and they are both leaving Sprintel in the dust. I am a fan of VZW and hope they continue to post high numbers but I am not counting my chickens and gloating at this point.

1st Quarter 2007
Cingular= 1.2 million
Verizon= did not report yet but my estimates 1.8 million.
1st quarter 2006
Cingular= 1.7 million.
Verizon= 1.7 million
1st quarter 2005
Cingular= 1.4 million.
Verizon= 1.64 million
I mentioned the above on the other post to you so I think it is essential to put the above in this one. As you can see from 1st qt 2005 to 1st quarter 2006, both Cingular and Verizon Wireless did very well, but it is quite surprising to me to see why in first quarter of 2007 that Cingular reported only 1.2 million after reporting 1.7 million in 2006 and 1.4 million in 2005.

Here is my reply from the other post.
Not supposed to happen? Is there a wireless guideline saying so? Could we be seeing a slowdown due to market saturation yet? I think that we really need to see what the rest of the industry is doing before we gage what Cingular did. My bet is on VZW leading the pack, but it could be a rough quarter for all in the industry.
Are you going to hide again when Sprint gets it's butt kicked and be nowhere to be found, what happened last quarter, were you preaching in a third world country with no internet access???

So if it is going to be a rough quarter for the other carriers such as Alltel, Sprint and T-Mobile that means Cingular and Verizon should benefit tremendously, however, it wasn’t the case for Cingular, but I think it will for Verizon as channel checks and other indicators suggest that.
...
So where you at? Where were you hiding last quarter this time? Were you on tour with Blondie, smoking out to Pink Floyd, in a third world country, jail, AA, a convent??? Where were you Nextel18 and should we expect the same disappearing act this go around when Sprint gets spanked?????
