I'm an AT&T TMDA customer and am considering a migration to a Cingular GSM
plan. I am long out of contract, can supply my own compatible unlocked GSM
phone, and am not looking for a new contract committment. Does Cingular
allow migration from AT&T to a month-to-month Cingular plan?

I honestly do not know, if I where you I would just stroll into a
Cingular corporate store and ask them, I see no reason why they would
not. You are their customer now, it'd be silly for them to now take
you, and they do want to get everyone off of TDMA anyway. Just go into
a store or call 866-CINGULAR

Woops ... I meant TDMA of course.

Also - yes, I did check the web site. The only mention I could find of
non-contract plans was in the prepaid/debit section.

You can only get a month-to-month signup on prepaid. Postpaid requires at
least a 1-year commitment.

Today I walked into the local Cingular store to see. The sales rep said
that normally it was a 1-year minimum committment, "if the computer
accepts you with no contract, I'll go ahead with it". He ported me over
and the computer printed a summary sheet showing no contract committment,
and I took a copy. My GSM SIM was active within a couple of minutes of
entering the change.

Hi gang,

I signed up with Cingular in November, for a 1 year contract.

early november I added a phone on a 1 year contract and converted to the
family plan (H6315)

end of november I added a third phone, and went only month to month, i told
them, i wanted to test the phone for three months (SX66). They signed me up,
with no contract on this phone.

Best Regards,

Estel J Hines
