Uhm... no.
First of all, AT&T Wireless was NOT the same company as the wireline AT&T, which has owned a 60% stake Cingular since it was new. Bellsouth owned the other 40%. When Cingular bought AT&T
Wireless, AT&T Wireless became Cingular. When AT&T bought out Bellsouth, they decided to use the oldest name in telecom (AT&T) and ditch the Cingular name. Very little, other than the branding, will change.
I don't know where you're getting that Cingular isn't paying their bills... :roll:
