Who Bought Cingular Wireless?

AT&T Inc. and BellSouth Corp. merge, consolidating ownership of the Cingular Wireless brand and operating under one global brand.

When did AT&T buy Cingular Wireless?

Then, in late 2004, AT&T Wireless was acquired by Cingular, which had no real desire or legal right to adopt a brand still owned by the AT&T long-distance business.

Is Cingular still in business?

The Cingular name will start to disappear on Monday, when the AT&T brand will once again describe a wireless offering in the U.S. AT&T Inc. will launch a new advertising campaign to replace the Cingular brand with its own, the company said today.
