TELECOM Digest OnLine - Sorted: AT&T - Cingular - Alltel; They Broke MY Contract!

AT&T - Cingular - Alltel; They Broke MY Contract!

I am apparently one of those "unlucky few" who got switched from AT&T
to Alltel (via Cingular). Though I wasn't very happy with AT&T to
begin with, I was happy to find that Cingular bought them out, given
Cingular's rollover, roaming, and other options.

Unfortunately, I then discovered that I was nothing more than an asset
that was being sold to Alltel. All-WHO?!

All I want to know is if anyone has successfully used this MESS as an
excuse to terminate service w/o a fine. As far as I'm concerned, my
contract was with AT&T, NOT Alltel (or even Cingular for that matter).
I was not warned about Alltel and (like most people), believed all the
hoopla that I was now a Cingular customer, with all the associated
benefits. This thing smells like class-action lawsuit to me!!!

Disgusted in Oklahoma.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I think what you will find is the
contract you signed at some point or another expressly gives _them_
the right to assign your contract. It did not give _you_ any rights
like that however; just AT&T. PAT]
