Somehow I don't believe it. We weren't integrated merely 2 months ago. Haven't checked since then (when I switched to Verizon).

The funny thing is that I switched (back) to Verizon because I had horrendous amounts of dropped calls, network busy signals and missed incoming calls even with great signal strength.

What used to happen daily hasn't happened once since I switched back to Verizon. Not trying to plug Verizon here, there are plenty of things about them that I hate as well, but the PR article just irked me as I read it.]]>Oct 5th 2006 10:33AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/

I know quite a few engineers on the inside, all over the country. The integration is NOT complete, not by any reasonable definition. I'm sure they've got some lawyers handy to carefully parse their words and narrowly define what THEY mean by "complete" so they can't be prosecuted for FRAUD, but by any common sense, ordinary person kind of definition, their claim is a flat out lie.

This is just eyewash for Wall Street.

I've call, emailed, etc to Cingular Customer care, and changed my SIM to no avail. There answer was it will be resolved as on October 4th. Now I see why but they clearly didn't replicate the coverage. This is BS!]]>Oct 5th 2006 11:34AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/Oct 5th 2006 12:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/
Strike Cingular down with your hatred and their network will be complete!

I'm afraid their network will be quite operational by the time your friends arrive...]]>Oct 5th 2006 12:44PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/Oct 5th 2006 2:23PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/05/cingular-claims-gsm-network-integration-complete/

that's right folks, you had AT&T Wireless, then they were bought buy Cingular, but then at&t bought the other co-owner of Cingular and they like the at&t name better so guess what, your back on at&t Wireless (not the old one just the name) by January '07!

41 billion for AT&T Wireless

Billions more to integrate the network and market the Cingular brand

Billions more to switch Cingular over to the NEW at&t name

Corporations wasting your money: Priceless
