Cingular doesn't want iPhone switchers, yet
Jan-21-2007
Raven Zachary, an avid Apple fan recently tried to contact Cingular in order to change carrier early, before the iPhone's release, since he is very interested in it, however, it appears that Cingular isn't interested in "switchers" just yet, and in the end he gave up, because Cingular simply wasn't interested in having him as a customer before June.
What confuses me about this situation is that Cingular would penalize me for switching early. I tried to become a Cingular customer today, paying a total of at least $600 in monthly service fees between now and the release of the iPhone, and purchasing a new phone in the interim. Cingular really isn???t interested in having me as a customer right now. I have more buying power if I wait until June and become a new Cingular customer at that time, committing to a new, two-year contract. So now, my plans have changed. I will keep my T-Mobile accounts active until June and then look for someone to take them over when hundreds of thousands of other people are trying to do the same. Switching early isn???t going to happen, and I???ll be lucky to get out of my T-Mobile contract without problems.
Let us hope that from here to June that Cingular gets it's act together and starts devising ways to embrace the new customers that will join the carrier this summer.
