technewsworld.com — The company will shed the Cingular name and replace it with AT&T at 1,800 outlets throughout the country this week. The move to rename Cingular Wireless stores comes as AT&T tries to beef up its profile ahead of the highly anticipated launch of Apple's iPhone.

I've made up a little image up in MS Paint to show the state of things:<a class="user" href="http://aycu29.webshots.com/image/14388/2002766981249423479_rs.jpg">http://aycu29.webshots.com/image/14388/2002766981249423479_rs.jpg</a>

I didn't think much would change when they changed the name, but since they announced the rebranding, every experience I've had with their customer service and sales people has been abysmal. Cingular used to have great customer service, in my experience, but this "New AT&T" bull has really turned up the suck.

"Market research must have said smaller case makes you apear less threatening."I'll bet those marketers will be adding a sixth bar to the commercials too.

I have had an AT&T wireless phone from the first month they went digital. I was ready to drop them due to lack of service area, and dropped calls when Cingular took over. I decided to see what would happen. From the day Cingular took over I NEVER had a dropped call, not one time EVER. I rarely was without service anywhere. I know others who had billing problems with both AT&T and Cingular but billing has never been a problem for me. I was not happy to hear AT&T was taking over Cingular but was hopeful nothing would change, I was a fool to think such. From day one, and I am not exaggerating I have an average of 3 to 4 dropped calls per day and that is when I can get service. In the last 3 months I have to walk outside my home, my office, any building for that matter to make a phone call. I will be changing providers when my contract expires later this year due to such lousy service. I know of a least a dozen co workers (We all depend on our cell phone to conduct business while on the road) who will be doing the same for the same reasons. I can not believe a business would want the reputation of offering sub par services. I know this is long but I am mad and want to get the anti AT&T word out.
