The company will shed the Cingular name and replace it with AT&T at 1,800 outlets throughout the country this week. The move to rename Cingular Wireless stores comes as AT&T tries to beef up its profile ahead of the highly anticipated launch of Apple’s iPhone.
As reported by Tim Grey of E-Commerce Times, Last year AT&T has purchased the remaining 40% shares of Cingular Wireless. AT&T has now begun the process of re-branding some 1,800 Cingular stores. The telecom, which will be the sole carrier of the iPhone in the U.S., is undertaking the rebranding move just weeks before Apple’s hotly anticipated smartphone hits the market.
