Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)

Does anyone know if the merger will effect Cingular Pre-Paid accounts?

This happened November 1st. You can still get this rate on a TDMA account
but I was told not more TDMA prepay at all starting January 1st.

It's back up now.
My Zip is 47448

I see the 25c/m mobile to mobile plan

......................................................................
NOTE: Mobile to Mobile Prepaid Plan: Features 25¢ per minute
anytime rate and 10¢ per minute mobile to mobile rate.
Mobile to Mobile includes calls to and from all Cingular subscribers.
......................................................................

And I see a 10c/m +$1/day plan with a stipulation that makes it far more
attractive.

........................................................................
NOTE: 10¢ Per Minute Prepaid Plan: A $1 daily access fee will
be charged only on days when a billable voice call is made or received.
.........................................................................

Now if they would just get those $100 one year expiration cards that is on
the ATT site..

And I see a new "Cingular Take Charge" plan.

It looks like a match to the ATT Go phone.
29.99 to 79.99 /month plans.
Day time air time is in the 15 to 10c/m range.
1000 night and weekend minutes on the 39.99 plan.
Unlimited nights and weekend minutes for 49.99+ plans

You didn't understand me.
The expiration on ATT's $100 cards is one year.
All the rest are 90 days.

I was wanting cinguar to offer the same deal that ATT has on $100 in air
time.
The current expiration for $100 in air time on cigular is 90 days.
