Re: Forced march of all ATTWS to Cingular?

Minor transposition mistake in my earlier note: the phone number Cingular
asked me to call is 877-201-9521 (select option 3).

And, I did get an unrequested Nokia 6030 in the mail about the same time the
letter arrived.

I did call Cingular on a different matter, mentioned this situation and was
routed to a customer service agent who told me I had to select a 2 year
plan - no options. Still trying to decide whether to escalate this or leave
for a different carrier.

Did you actually get a phone in the mail, with this letter?
That would be a pretty bold risk.

If not, I suspect that the 877 number has nothing at all to do with
Cingular, and is an agent that would like to sell you service.

I tried calling the number from California, and got a fast busy.
A former AT&T customer should have been directed to 800-888-7600.
Have you tried calling the number?
