Branding changes are coming this month to handsets, alpha tags and bill statements.

Branded Handsets — Available in stores on April 16, the Nokia 6102i will be our first AT&T-branded GoPhone handset. The first post-paid AT&T-branded handsets, scheduled for in-store delivery in April, include the Samsung C417 (all colors), Motorola V3xx (Platinum), LG CG 225 and LG CU500v. As supplies are deleted, existing handsets will be branded as AT&T. New handsets will be branded as AT&T.

Handset Alpha Tags/Network ID — Effective Sunday, April 15, alpha tags (the company name appearing on handset screens) for new subscribers and existing customers upgrading their handsets will display AT&T instead of Cingular. Existing customers' handsets will begin displaying AT&T in late April. While the majority of customers' handsets will be changed in 60 days, the process is expected to be completed in about six months.

Customer Bills — Also starting on April 15, the invoice page of customers' bills will feature the co-branded "Cingular is now the new AT&T" logo. The AT&T logo is scheduled to appear on the invoice page in early July.

I was just wondering if and when the Alpha tag was going to change. Is there a source for this information or is it speculation?

Oh yeah any word on when at&t branded sim cards are going to be handed out. I will be fine for a while but for some reason i would just really like my sim card to match my alpha tag

The info is from internal sources at cingular published for cingular reps. So it is correct

Alpha tags for existing handsets may or may not display the at&t on April 15th. But all customers handset will in about two months? Did I understand that correctly?

Odds are existing subs will not see a new tag for some time. They aren't all downloaded at once
