    At&t sucks, Rogers in Canada sucks even more, and they all the same. democrat/republican, we are better off going to one of the smaller companies, like wind or meeboo, or whatever they are called.

    Plus those bigger guys are for sure listening in to phone calls, one big government/giant corporation orgy.

    In all honesty, this happened to me a while back. I used to be cell-one, and they were bought out by ATT. I've noticed absolutely no change. Nothing at all. The service is the same and I suppose the price would be the same.

    AT&T is up 3% today. guess the market liked the move. AT&T's current market cap is $170B

    Exxon has a market cap of $407B

    39B is small taters.

    we'll see. i'm with sprint, and if they were to be scooped, i would want it to be verizon. there is also talk of sprint scooping smaller players like US Cell, PCS, and a couple of other small guys.

    i'm tempted to pick up a few sprint shares...will need to dig into them a little more... i looked at them about a year ago and thought at the time Verizon was the best cell company to own, but didn't pick up any shares.

    But the important question is: Will the girl in the commercials now wear orange and blue polka dots instead of pink?

    never had any dropped calls
    get service where verizon folks don't (Yes, I CAN hear you...but I'm on a different network)
    free calls to other AT&T folks
    I get the roll over minutes
    2 lines, unlimited data, 1000 text, unlimited N&W, voicemail, 700 rollover minutes=$120

    used to work for AT&T, yes customer service sucks, but they really do have the fastest network.

    What about unlimited text? I'm a text machine. I'm thinking when this deal goes through, I might make the move to the iPhone.

    unlimited text is $20/month...I'm at 300-500 texts a month...they do have an 'unlimited everything' plan...don't know how much that is.

    Right now, my plan with T-Mobile, is $15 a month with unlimited text and $.10 a minute for talk.

    Right now if you have unlimited text with att. You can get unlimited mobile to mobile to any network.

    Also if you have the 1400 minute plan you get A list. No minutes deducted for any 20 land line numbers.

    most likely, you will be able to keep your plan. When I left the company, they were switching over to Cingular and my plan stayed the same, I just got rollover minutes. When Cingular dissolved, my plan still stayed the same. You'll just get better coverage on the AT&T network.

    and Boo, I'm talking about the 'consumer reports' data they release a few months back...customer service is bad compared with other providers...I've never personally had bad service...but then again, there is probably a note on my account 'previous employee, be nice' :lol:

    Yeah, I think that's sorta it.

    BTW, next time you make a long distance call, say some 'key words', then listen to how the call tone changes. Try it! It's freaky, just take a look at the M Train side of the forum for 'key words'.

    Then use the Captain Crunch cereal tone whistle device and see if it still get's us free calls from att :lol:
