BellSouth to sell bundled services in Cingular stores
Jan 27, 2005

ATLANTA-Cingular Wireless L.L.C. parent company BellSouth Corp. said it will sell its portfolio of residential communications and entertainment services at Cingular stores in the Southeast.

The announcement follows BellSouth's regional rollout of a door-to-door sales force that will be expanded to Cingular stories in all nine states of BellSouth's service area during the year.

"Building on our need to meet our customers on their turf, this new sales channel creates a unique environment where customers can speak to highly trained BellSouth representatives about bundling local, long distance, Cingular Wireless, Internet and DirectTV service," said Jan Funderburg, BellSouth president of consumer services.

But if it boosts sales and commissions, I don't think you will hear too much complaining!

This sound's like a good idea, a place where people can go to handle all there phone service's & plans. And it prevent's them from opening new stores just for Landline customers. It will be interesting to see how this finally works out for them & the customers.

I've never heard of or seen a BellSouth store for landline service. I always call or use the website.

Maybe it's just a way to increase awareness of the bundles.

I didn't know if they did or not, I know we don't have any Verizon stores here either, There use to be AT&T Stores to get phones & service. I was thinking with there plans to go door to door, that opening stores may have been an option in the future for them, but yes this will add to bundle awareness for people & probobly will help them sell more service.
