Cingular Wireless will be rolling out the red carpet in Boston on Friday to celebrate its 25 millionth wireless customer.

Area resident John Brooks III will be awarded free Motorola wireless equipment at a Cingular Wireless store in Boston. Brooks also will be on hand to help the carrier present a $2,500 donation to a local children's charity on his behalf.

Cingular is in the midst of trying to close its pending acquisition of AT&T Wireless. Once the merger is complete, the combined entity will have roughly 46 million customers, surpassing Verizon Wireless as the top U.S. carrier in terms of subscriber numbers.

I heard this will only be temporary.

Shizam76 · 08-20-2004, 4:48 PM

I thought Cingular Blue was only what the computer systems were going to call old AT&T Wireless customers. This is also how Cingular identifies a previous AT&T Wireless customer.

The marketing, logo, and etc.... still should be the same as it is now. I doubt you will even hear or see of this so called "Cingular Blue".

Who knows....there are many rumors circulating this story, but I prefer to believe what my little bunny said.

Gideon H · 08-20-2004, 9:05 PM

why don't you have that little bunny call me

Me too

Shizam76 · 08-21-2004, 1:12 AM

Have the bunny 3-way call ME, Gideon and Eddie!

bobolito · 08-21-2004, 1:24 AM

Oh trust me, he will...pretty soon!

Gideon H · 08-21-2004, 1:24 AM

well then it'd be a 4-way because the bunny would be on one end

.

Gideon H · 08-21-2004, 1:28 AM

how soon bobo?

Yeah, bobo, how soon?

Also bobo, will Cingular encourage old ATWS customers to renew their contract as Cingular and get a new Cingular SIM etc. Will the ATWS phones be unlocked for Cinglar SIMS?

TNDan21 · 08-21-2004, 11:06 AM

I seriously doubt Cingular will change their logo in any way. Cingular is a company big on branding. I think you'll continue to see the orange jack.

Etorres777 · 08-21-2004, 1:44 PM

I hope, that when the merge is complete, that they make the Cingular jack blue and have their colors be blue and orange because they wouldn't have the customers they will have if it wasn't for the AT&T one's staying. That's the least they could do, use blue and tweak it where it looks like they merged not like if Cingular bought AT&T. I hope that came out right.

You are absolutely right. That's why I said this would be a temporary thing only.
