Since I have never been an AT&T customer, I don't find that very persuasive. I originally signed up in 1995 when they were Cingular One and my phone was a real 3W AMPS built-in car phone, then went to a TDMA handheld, then to my current GSM/TDMA/AMPS phone which I have no intention of giving up. It's entirely plausible that they want to chase out all the TDMA and AMPS users so they can switch their network to be 100% GSM.

The prices are great, I need to figure out whether the coverage is OK here which basically means whether they let me roam onto Cingular. It appears that in some places they do, some they don't.
