|  My AT&T wireless problems
I think I have given up on AT&T. They have been my provider for the past 7 years. I bought an unlocked GSM phone last week. I tried to get a sim card for it and migrate by TDMA number to the sim card.
No stores in Mid town Manhattan (4 within blocks of my office) had the cards, or had seen one for weeks. They said, "no problem", just call. That started a daily attempt to get to the migration people. Arguing that my phone would work if they just gave me the card! The poorly trained staff never got to send me one.
I walked into the Cingular store at Fifth and 47th St, went to my office, at lunch they called and said to come pick up the phone. It works great! Well, it does have some problems with the network, but where there is a signal, its great. I expect the signal area to improve with time.
My next move is to port the old phone number to the new Cingular service. I just have given up trying to get someone who knows the technology. The last person I spoke to today said, "I cannot port the phone number to a GSM service, any service". What is this women talking about?
