cingular has realized that they have done alot to not gain as many customers so they are rebranding so they can make money off of independent agents having to buy new signage clothing etc.

That is officially the dumbest statement I have ever heard. Where is your basis for this? Did you think before you typed that, or did you just let the stupidity flow? 🙄

...hmmm, I thought the signs outside of the local Cingy store saying, "KEEP OUT" were doing that....

how can it be stupid to state that. it cost me out of MY pocket 3400.00 to rebrand to cingular. did they pay it? NO i did! then they raise the cost of phones, lower commissions and simply have not done their part to enable the same growth rate as many were used to. now lets do it all again, hopefully they will pull their heads out of their a** this time and do it right. doubtful but maybe. how much do YOU spend on rebranding? when you spend some of your own money tell me its stupid, until then you have no basis to criticize anyone.

Obviously the reasoning behind it is if it cost you over 3k, multiply that by however many stores meet that crieria and Cingy will have to add another cost recovery fee on their subscriber's bill. It's funny (not in your way) how feelings change when wireless penetration hit so much percent and now facing (in most markets) total overall saturation the mentality changed.
