Bad move

I work in a company store and have to say something bad happened this month for customers.

An agent closed up shop in the south jersey area, and left customers with little options if they wanted to exchange a phone, or cancel service. We've had 2 cust in 2 days that wanted to exchange their phones, but had to turn them away because they were purchased at an agent location(that closed) Now we have the bad news of telling them to call an 800 number, or drive to delaware (45 min from us) to exchange their phone. This is a bad move because the customers don't blame the agent, they blame cingular, because afterall, they bought the phone from a "cingular" store.

O yea, we were told, we can't exchange the phones because they have a contrac...

GLAD TO BE A CINGULAR AGENT!

I know that in the past Cingular has had a bad rap. The truth of the matter is that they are a really good company with good plans and phones that have ten times the quality of other carriers. So Cingular, I applaud you for your dedication. One thing that needs to change though is phone pricing. The constant undercutting of the retail and agent stores by big retailers like Wal-Mart, Sams, and Best Buy is hurting all locations and is forcing us to seek other means of revenue. If this problem were fixed, Cingular would stay on top and Verizon wouldn't have a chance. Good luck Cingular, and I'm glad I'm employed by you! Please post your comments.

Thanks,
Eric from Arkansas

READ MY LIPS: NO NAME CHANGE

Updated article on TUCW states:

Official Q&A information directly from Cingular concerning the USA Today article:

"Will Cingular be changing its name to AT&T Wireless?

No. Cingular has been, is, and will remain a national brand.

What has changed for Cingular?

AT&T's plans will not change the way we market or manage Cingular. Even today, when BellSouth and AT&T sell wireless services as part of a bundle of wired and wireless services, the customer receives a bill from BellSouth or AT&T - not from Cingular. Most importantly, if either BellSouth or AT&T purchases wireless services from Cingular and markets them under another name, the results still show up in our balance sheet and are beneficial to Cingular. Gross adds - by any n...

PTT "Soft Launch" in South Florida Market on 11/25

Got some PTT for Cingular info for anyone that is interested....

11-25-05 is scheduled to be a per-national launch "soft launch" of PTT in the South Florida market, coinciding with the holiday sale with no activation fees. The only phone that can be sold at this time with the capability will be the LG F7200. The Samsung PTT is in the store inventory, but not available, perhaps because of firmware issues as stated in the previous thread.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

D357 Recalled

The Samsung PTT phone which was to be launched commercially with the PTT service has been recalled due to several firmware issues. Looks like its not just the service that is holding back the launch date.

Cingular Deal - worth it? or go with Verizon?

I need some advice. Here's my situation: we have a family plan with 3 lines (AT&T plan) that is expiring and we need to upgrade because quite frankly our phones are outdated and falling apart. So we have decided to go with the 700 minute plan (for $80 total/month). Problem is we can't decide between Cingular and Verizon, which each offer the same plan. Verizon's service in my area is better, not by much, but there is a mild difference.

Originally we thought we would stick with Cingular because surely as customers, we must be offered better deals. But the only difference I've found is that the activation fee is dropped for Cingular since we've been with them.

I went to a Cingular store and was disappointed to learn that if we upgra...

Samsung ZX10...any 3g Phones by Christmas...?

Does anyone know when we might see 3G phones released. What ever happened to the Nokia, Motorola, and LG, 3G phones in the 4th quarter?

Hopefully we see something come out soon, like maybe before Christmas. The Samsung ZX10 I heard was coming in Q1 of 2006, but any idea when?

If anyone or possibly reps out there, some news on 3G phones would be appreciated, especially since we are so close to the holidays.

Heads up your collective asses

As posted on the unofficial cingular weblog:

" I must say it all just seems rather contrived. Yes the AT&T name has better recognition... it should as it is as old as telephone history. But here are my problems with this.

1. If SBC really thought the ATTWS name was the all its cracked up to be, they would have bought it from ATT at the time of the merger. But they didn't.. they leased it for six months.

2. Cingular is in the middle completing the common service experience initiative. Making service and sales equal across both halves of the company, Legacy Blue and Legacy Orange. If Cingular was to rebrand as ATTWS but still be available in some markets as Cingular... how would that provide a common service experience?

3. With aro...

Cingular Orange - SIM Cards

The current sim is a green sim card w/ an orange wave (Cingular Orange). The phone is a Sony Ericsson Z500a and the current SIM card is a 64k Smart Chip. Will that SIM card use the strongest signal regardless if the strongest signal is coming from Cingular Orange GSM or Cingular Blue GSM tower? If not, how can that be corrected?

Is there a way to do a manual network selection and try to determine (Cingular Orange GSM or Cingular Blue GSM) which network is the best for a particular area?

Is there anything that has to be done to update a SIM Card with the list of latest towers (Something similar to a "PRL Update" that has to be completed occasionally on a CDMA network such as Sprint or Verizon)

I know nothing when it comes to GSM...So...

Why change it back to AT&T? Why not to something completely different?

Ok. If they are trying to change the name because they want to be percieved as a whole new company. Why not just change the whole name?
Maybe something like:

Save Money.......Do Not buy from Agents or Corporate Stores

Most people erroneously believe they shoould buy their Wireless service from Wieless stores. that is not the case and there is really no reason to do so unless you like spending more for the same thing.

Best Buy and Wal Mart offer phones and accessories far less money. For instance try getting a Razor for $69 witha 2 year contract at any Corporate or wireless store. Thats Wal Marts price. All the accessories are made in China n matter where you buy them.

Yeah the argument in opposition will state you get individual customer service at a corporate or wireless store. You DO NOT need this customer serice execpt on the phone. Once you sign the CARRIER will serve you. The phone manufacturer will help with the phone. You really do not need...
