I got a letter from Cingular the other day and it said that
they will no longer be supporting my (4+ year old Motorola
V60) TDMA/analog cell phone (whatever that is) and I have
to get a new GSM cell phone (whatever that is).

Now Cingular is offering a "free" Nokia 6030 phone, but the
rebate deal states that I have sign-up for a new 2-year contract
with them and I have to get a Cingular VISA Rewards Card
and I'm not interested in going thru all that BS.

So since it appears I have to get a new cell phone and I'm not
hip to the cell phone provider market, I figured I'd head down
to the local Cingular store and buy a new phone I like and have
them transfer my existing Cingular service (which works fine,
more or less) to the new phone.

I know it can't be _that_ easy....

So what kinda problems and additional costs might I end-up
facing with Cingular by going this route, and what do I need to
know and say to the (no doubt punk-ass teenage) service rep
at their store, to avoid all kinda hassles over this?
