| More Orange?
I haven't seen their new name/logo design, but if it's just more orange are they trying to be the same color as Vonage? Hmmm, maybe. If Vonage goes under and they gobble them up, they'll be no need to buy extra orange ink for sending their new customers junk mail. |

I'd love the perpetual branding strategy because we all know that customers base their purchases on the company with the most researched logo. Customers tend to find features, reliability, support and pricing as not-so-important considerations.  |

Their service is just awful now...for me. |

| Is that really considerd Rebranding?
So what, the background color is Orange. The name is still AT&T. Is that really considered rebranding?
What's with orange and cell phones anyway? Cingular used an Orange color scheme and theres a UK provider called Orange. »www.orange.co.uk/
Orange must be the hip color for wireless. Verizon's close with their Red and black, but hey those colors don't make orange!
Oh and if the name is now AT&T why do phones still come with that STUPID cingular jingle ring tone. They should put that "All around the world" song by OASIS from the commercials if they really want to force a default ring tone. Better yet, make it sound like a phone when it rings. |

Looking on their coverage maps, the areas that even show "moderate" coverage we have zero signal. I have been working with them to do network tests, etc but nothing. My wife is ready to drop them soon.

1 edit | A pig wearing lipstick is still a, well,....
Unfortunately for AT&T, a firm recently found that customers actually liked the Cingular brand better.
No kidding.
After I fired ATTWS back in 2003 for atrocious customer service, it was a coin flip between Cingular and Verizon Wireless. The rollover feature won me over, but after four years of barely using any rollover minutes (partially my problem for being on the wrong plan), the uptick in dropped calls, and the rollback to the AT&T name, it's time to reconsider VZW.
The DeathStar will always be the DeathStar, I suspect.

Late last year, another research firm found people prefered the AT&T name over Cingular, thats why they switched. In fact, I remember reading that very story here on BBR...What IS going on here with these different firms.

|  New marketing campaign
said by at&t marketing :
The campaign will target both general and multicultural audiences and will also include online, print and outdoor advertising. In addition, an online extension of the campaign, the AT&T Souvenir Store, will launch in October. On the site, visitors will be able to enter the cities and states where they visit or have personal connections to create a unique name that identifies those locations as a group. For example, New York, San Francisco and South Dakota may become "New Sanfrakota." Visitors can then purchase their own personalized "Your Seamless World" merchandise, such as T-shirts and bumper stickers.
This is supposed to be "cool" and appeal to the youth market? How lame.

Otherwise, you'd see a much broader picture, one where consumers make INFORMED choices to go with another provider.
In almost EVERY cellular market, there are at LEAST two carriers these days, so AT&T doesn't have a MONOPOLY on wireless anymore. |
