Centennial users will be able to buy AT&T phones, Yes. I believe Centennial will keep their jobs. AT&T isn't a very good phone company, i'm with Centennial and i'm conistering switching.

Centennial employees will get to keep their jobs but will have to take new hire training when the switch over happens, Att will most likely offer Centennial customers switch over to an at&t plan with out a cancellation fee or activation fee.

i've been a centennial customer for five and a half years now and this has been the worst five and a half years i've ever had with a phone company. they flat out sux. the phones are no good. a brand new phone with proper care somehow find a way to screw up and there best solution is a new contract. personally i want at&t to take over and hopefully bring some well needed change

I think Centennial is a GREAT company. I have been with the for more years than I can count. The only place I think they are lacking is their customer service. Their options and pricing are the best out there. Plus because I have been a customer for soo long and pay on time, they have given me 1600 free minutes each month on top of my 1000 minutes. Will AT&T take care of its customers like that???

I have been with Centennial for many, many years. I always had bad expeirences there I can't wait for At&t to buy it. I know many people on At&t and never had problems.
We will get Centennial services and another option of using At&t's services.

when att bought cellular one we were able to cancel our contracts with cellular one with no fees of any kind and switch to att. att also did not do a credit check because of the buyout and there no longer being cellular one around anymore. im not sure around indiana or other states but around here in centeral michigan centennial sucks. they would cancel our service the day after we got our bills. y we switched in the first place. ive had no problems with att except for going to stores not owned by the company, our local company store if we have had a problem they have fixed it. nothing but the best customer servie for us. but you can have sucky service with no matter which company u are with. just depends on whos helping u

I say good riddance to centennial. I've had so many billing problems with them and the only way to get them to respond to my inquiries was to eventually get the FCC and the BBB involved. This company sucks. either way, my contract was up and I was cancelling the minute it was up and switching to AT&T. Hopefully they release a new iPhone by then.

Every cell phone company has it's issues. I have been with centennial for about 12 years and it has been hot and cold with them, but it is basically due to customer service. Most of them go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied and then you have the few that have no clue what they are doing and they don't help you at all. The thing that really sucks the most about centennial is the limited phones they have and the outrageous prices you have to pay for them unless you are a new customer.
Since at&t is getting ready to take them over and we have been with them for 12 years they have given us better prices with the companions and the text packages.
I'm excited for at&t to take them over because their phone options are so much better.
Does anyone know when the official date will be?

Will we get service on our at&t where the phones previously had no service? Friends and family can get four bars at our house with centennial and we get zero with att. There is a centennial tower about 5 miles away. Will our service improve?????

I was told by Centennial that AT&T was purchasing the towers also. So I would say yes to better coverage if you are on AT&T now and have a Centennial tower that close.
Would you like us to alert you when someone adds a comment?

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Pisces

You're lacking in energy and resources today, which will soon slow you down and make you feel as though you're wading through treacle. The only way to cope is to have as many breaks as possible, and not to set yourself impossible goals that you could never hope to meet. You're also very susceptible to the criticisms or put-downs of others, but do your best to ignore them.
