Cingular Cingular Wireless ripoff Former AT@T Wireless customer, problem with my current AT&T phone, I was told that cingular no longer carried at&t equipment, and that if I wanted a new phone, I had to sign a new two year contract. I could not believe what I was hearing, Austin Texas

Prior to the merger of Cingular and AT&T, Was very happy with AT&T, but now, I can, wait until my contract is over, in october, 2005, to take my phone number, and my business to another company.

I have a problem with my current AT&T phone, so I called my current wireless company (Cingular) asked to purchase a new phone.

to my surprised, I informed that I could not buy another phone, unless I sing another 2 year contract with cingular. without singing the contract, I could not buy a new phone.

Not only did Cingular want me to sign a new contract, my AT& T CONTRACT will no longer be valid. My current contract is 600 minutes,unlimited night & weekend... ($39.99+) my New Cingular Plan would be 450 minutes 3000 night and weekend, SAME PRICE, $39.99.
What a RIP-0ff!
