Keep on the lookout! We are changing our name from ‘Cingular’ to ‘JC&C AT&T’. We have acquired a Hummer H1 to help us spread the word throughout Reno, Sparks, and Carson City. We are going to dress it up with JC&C Wireless logos all over. We also plan on using it for Special Events and Tailgates. If you happen to see us, stop us to say hi!

We have added another phone number for customers to use. We are hoping that it helps us to become synonymous with AT&T in the Reno, Sparks, and Carson City regions: 888-RENO-ATT. That’s 888-736-6288. It matches our new website: www.renoatt.com. Give us a call. Our system has been totally revamped to get you the quick and easy answers you need!

…Parent-Child Relationships. Is this true? Dr. Ruth Peters says that it does. According to an article on Cingular’s website, “Wireless phones and text messaging have become a central force in the way tweens and teens connect with one another,” said Dr. Ruth Peters. “Kids want to communicate — but on their terms.

…Stores anymore. It is no secret that Cingular will be changing their name to AT&T. From the latest reports, this process will begin Monday. Cingular Wireless will be sold as “Wireless from AT&T.”

But there is another change that will come along with this. It looks like AT&T does not like the way Exclusive Agents from Cingular have been using Cingular branding. For the past 5 years or so, Exclusive Cingular Agents’ stores have signage and decor that looks exactly like a COR (Corporate Owned Retail) store. But once they officially change their name to AT&T, all of the agents will be forced to have a generic name (ie: ACME of XYZ) with a tag line below. This will likely read “Authorized Retailer of AT&T.”

From a customers perspective, there is virtually no difference between the products and services that a customer can receive at an Authorized Agent’s Location. vs. COR. In most cases, there is a shorter wait and a friendlier interaction. This is a result of having that small business feel with a local flair. In addition, since agent locations are locally owned and operated. By patroniozing them, you are contributing to your local economy rather than just feeding the corporate machine.

Once we at Comanco Cingular have completed our new Logo, we will be sure to post it for all to see. In the meantime, come visit on of our locally owned Cingular stores in the Reno, Sparks, Carson city area.
