Cingular must really like me
17 Feb 2004
After suffering through a year of terrible service and living with a broken phone for months while I waited for number portability, I finally switched from Cingular to AT&T Wireless last November, the day that number portability took effect. Cingular did a brief bit of marketing to me to try and convince me to stay with them. They offered new phones and touted their infrastructure upgrades but I could not be swayed. I still switched.
Now they’ve taken extreme measures to get me back as a customer. They bought AT&T Wireless for $41 billion dollars.
