Re: Cingular refuses to keep my old ATT Wireless p

Part of the problem is that people do not consult another party/do research before making decisions involving technologies that they are not fully aware of.

Sorry to hear you did not end up well after the merger. You unfortunately have no recourse since this is a free market per se. Due to one company buying another, Cingular did not have to entirely meet the terms of your previous AT&T contract. Eventually they will be able to completely pull the plug on those who hang on to TDMA/AMPS. I still use it, but I doubt it will be active forever.

They do have to meet the terms of the previous AT&T contract, the problem is just that the contract did not guarantee good service.

The two are one in the same(!) Because the contract did not guarantee good or consistent (=perfect) service/reception, they can do what they want with the holdovers essentially. Honor their plans but hold them hostage to poor call reception in some areas which were formerly OK.
