One of Cingulars new techniques for gaining and retaining customers is having "exsclusives" on cell phones.

But its a higher priority with Cingular now. Up till now, most of the phones they had were also available at ATTWS and TMobile, and in some cases in CDMA versions with Sprint and Verizon.
Posts: n/a Re: Motorola V551 launched by Cingular So if you are an "AT&T" customer you won't be able to upgrade to this phoneunless you give up your AT&T plan and move to a "Cingular" plan? I really hate to do that given the AT&T plans are better in my opinion. Perhaps we will find out some more information on the 10th.

That is correct, and in some cases ( like Free 7 PM Nights) ATTWS plans these days were better, but lately thats been offset by phones being less costly at Cingular.

They sure do. They seem to get all the new phones, unlike my carrier, T-Mobile. I wish some of the phones on Cingular and ATTW were available on T-Mo. I don't know that the carried handsets is a good reason to switch carriers though. I get 1000 anytime minutes, and unlimited weekends on T-Mo for $39.99 monthly, with free long distance and no roaming charges. Also, free GPRS.

You could always "upgrade" to this phone by buying one that's standard and unlocked. That way you wouldn't be locked into a contract extension. Such phones are available already. -- Best regards, HELP FOR CINGULAR GSM & SONY ERICSSON PHONES: John Navas <http://navasgrp.home.att.net/#Cingular>

They effectively are -- just buy them unlocked. -- Best regards, HELP FOR CINGULAR GSM & SONY ERICSSON PHONES: John Navas <http://navasgrp.home.att.net/#Cingular>
