Cingular Wireless Launches Service in Dothan Area

DOTHAN, Ala., June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular Wireless today announced that it is now providing wireless service in southeastern Alabama, including Dothan, Enterprise, Ozark and Troy. Cingular Wireless, the nation's second-largest wireless carrier, offers simple, competitively priced plans, broad coverage and a next-generation network that provides the latest technology advances, and phones with unique features, superior sound quality and high-speed data connectivity.

"Cingular takes great pride in our Alabama heritage and in delivering a quality wireless experience to customers, so now being able to offer service in another important market in the state is very exciting," said Ron Sleeper, Cingular's Director of Sales for Alabama. "Our goal is to provide wireless value and convenience at a level not seen before in this growing, vibrant community. That means compelling rate plans, extensive coverage and the very latest in wireless phones," he said.
Cingular phones come in an assortment of colors, shapes and sizes to complement the company's innovative plans and services. "I invite everyone to see the phones and services we offer," Sleeper said. "If you haven't seen any of the new GSM phones, you are in for a pleasant surprise. They are smaller and cooler, with color screens and graphics, and a rainbow of colors, shapes and styles. GSM phones also come with an array of useful add-ons, like AM/FM radio, digital cameras, MP3 players and more."
Dothan-area customers will enjoy wireless service on an all-digital GSM network. GSM -- or Global Systems for Mobile Communications -- is the world standard for wireless communications. Almost 1 billion people in 200-plus countries use this technology, which delivers a superior network, the widest selection of phones, and faster downloads on games, instant messaging and picture messaging.
Customers also will be able to choose from competitive rate plans featuring increased minutes, expanded calling areas and the exclusive Rollover(SM) service, a program that allows unused minutes from one month to roll over to the next. New customers who sign up for Cingular's $49.99 GSM Nation plan, will receive unlimited nationwide calling to other Cingular customers, unlimited national night and weekend minutes, unlimited national mobile-to-mobile minutes, plus 600 anytime Rollover minutes.
"Customers are invited to come to our stores -- where we have rolled out the "orange carpet" -- so they can demo the latest wireless handsets, games and ringtones to see what 'fits them best,' Sleeper said.
