Gothar,

I use to have a thread for AT&T Wireless phones that were nicely priced. I picked up a Nokia 3620 (smartphone) for $0. Best phone ever... well.. I want the 6800 now.. but still...

It was free

Yes.. Free... Not free after mail-in rebate. Not free but we still take the money out of your account, then credit it. No... Free as in no underwear free. Free as in I called and said "Gimme MY PHONE, Bizitches!" and they said, "Yes, Pimp Woo! Your phone will be shipped FedEx tomorrow! Please don't slap me on the backhand side again!"

I don't think it's that hot, anyone with a brain can get out of their contract. I just switched to verizon from sprint, "I moved to an area with no serivce"...boom contract canceled.

Hate to thread crap, but to those of us with no AT&T service this doesn't apply, even yet this is hardly a hottest deal of all timeto 99% of the people here, try to put more description in your title.

Saddly whether you like or dislike AT&T,mergers and acquistions in the long run almost always eventually hurt consumers,we'll have less competition for starters..the gov seems set on this trend..I guess all those perks/bribes being payed off in washington pay-off.

Last time I checked, the topic summary says "AT&T Wireless" in it.
It is the hottest deal of all time to people who want to leave AT&T Wireless without paying a cancellation fee. It saves them $150. Heck, it's not even a deal to me since I'm not leaving, but to everyone else who wants too, they can get ready to dance in the streets.
Hell, there's a thread about a gallon of Listerine going around. My breath ALWAYS smells good so it's not so hot for me. I don't go thread crapping in there because I don't need it....
Now for you, mister thread crapper, since crap is your game, Listerine might be right up your alley.

Read more.. It helps.

No, they are not going to let you out of your contract, you will have the option to keep your existing phone/contract/plan. You will be a Cingular "Blue" customer. If a customer does not wish to migrate to Cingular, he can stay Blue, but if he does want to switch to Cingular he can. No matter what the status of the contract is, you can cancel without the ETF and go to Cingular, but not just cancel outright.

Does anyone know if current AT&T WS customers can switch over to the rate plans on Cingular? I have 700 anytime minutes and free long distance if I'm within my calling area. I just signed a 1 year contract with AT&T GSM like 2 weeks ago. Cingular has 1000 anytime minutes with no roaming/long distance where ever you are for the same $39.99 price. I'd obviously like the terms of the Cingular deal better. Nationwide no-roaming would sure be nice, even though I don't travel all that often.

Hmm, my yearly contract ends tomorrow. Wonder if I should try to get a phone out of them for another contract, then cancel later on in the year..

You guys might want to consider READING THE REPLY ABOVE YOU. This "deal" was debunked after the 4th post. Read.

For the record, if anyone bothers to read this, all of the regulatory roadblocks have been passed, Cingular just has to cut the check and the merger should begin Monday. Not that it matters since THIS "DEAL" NEVER EXISTED!

That would be pretty sweet. But since we're dreaming, let's make is an $1100+ Ultra Extreme Edition. :D

If you're on AT&T now, then you've probably been jumping between the AT&T and Cingular towers for a while now. They're currently sharing, so I'd imagine it's about as good as its gonna get.

I read like 20 diff things about cancelling contracts but can anyone plz plz tell me if I can cancel my contract or get a better deal (with a better phone) since they merged. I got the 39.99 700 mins deal from ATT this june.


When I try to get a new phone from the site I get this message..

Hmm, is that all you said, and they cancelled your service? I tried the same thing, and they kept refusing without trying to charge me the cancellation fee. I still have the service. It sucks worse than a $5 whore.
