Cingular Wins bid for AT&T Wireless
Newer Guy writes "Cingular has won the bidding war for AT&T Wireless with an offer of $15 a share, or about $40.5 billion." This means Vodafone is out, and the number of competitors for wireless devices in the US is down by one.
that I'm canceling my AT&T wireless phone as of today.
that AT&T Wireless is based in Redmond, Washington?
I'll just go ahead and let you guys connect the dots.
Can you hear me now...
(wait for it)
(wait for it)
NO CARRIER.
SHIT!

Beings aspergers AND pulling chicks... I enjoy the challenge!
It's the "I can tell Vodaphone to swallow my balls now" plan.
Until Slashdot fixes the funny modifier, use insightful or interesting. The poster knows your intentions.
Which provider were you with again? The phone I was looking at had a built-in camera, but nothing as extravagant as a cocksucking device and an espresso machine. Wow. Just... Wow.
Let`s just get these out of the way now...
"I for one welcome our new Singular overlords!"
"Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Netwerk!"
and wait for it...
"All your network are belong belong to us!"

It ought to get a little cheaper now that you they don't have to pay David Beckham's paycheck anymore.
Real Madrid forever, limey suckers!
Oh good, so you'll be used to Cingular then.
Who know after three months of pumping up this m-life that it was for a mobile phone plan.
I remember the billboard with an 8-year-old girl, thinking "what's an mlife, and how do I get one?" The answer, Virginia, is that nobody really knows, but it costs about $40 billion.
Those mlife ads always gave me the creeps, anyway. There was always something a little too close to a religious overtone to them... they looked like they were designed by the same folks who put together a local megachurch's billboard campaign. Kinda like "contemporary Christian" music is disturbingly similar to pop music, with "Jesus" in the place of "Baby".
Gives me the creeps. Just give me that old time religion... it's good enough for me!
Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.
I go from the company with the absolute worst customer service in the world to the company with the absolute second worst customer service in the world, who just inherited the title of "worst" as the worst is now gone....
Not to, uh, sound selfish or anything, but who were you thinking of going with next?
I know from all of the Cingular commercials I hear that Cingular is a small little company against the big behemoths, right? They aren't some big, huge wireless provider, the commercials say they are like a little adept startup. Commercials wouldn't lie would they?
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
If it reduces the number of kiosks at the mall trying to give me four free phones, I'm all for it.
