 It's a family plan........the other cell phones are still working. My phone is the main number on the line to which I added all of the other phones. Can they migrate only one phone on a family plan?

it is technically possible...but unlikely....the sure fire method is when you get thje phone if the SIM says Cingular you were migrated....

Well, given all that chat about migration, I actually got the phone with an ATT card! Wow, do I feel lucky.  Now I just have to figure out how to use the thing.........not quite as user friendly as my Samsung, or maybe it is just tough to teach an old dog new tricks....Thinking that might be the case, my teenage daughter said she would program all of my numbers into it for me (recalling that Cingular fried my old sim card). Well, neither she nor I can figure out how to program several numbers for the same person under one entry. If I store to Sim, it automatically puts in another entry for the same person, if stored to phone it is possible to enter under many numbers under the same person. Am I making any sense? Is there a step I am missing? The instruction booklet is seriously lacking in info for this ol' dog and her young pup! I will take the time to see what I can find on this website.........
thanks again.

whew!!! that clears that up
the sim card cant differentiate the entries as home office etc....but the phone can so you're not doing anything wrong... the simcard stores the phone number with the name as a tag or secondary data...

Well good, I'm not so dumb after all. If I don't like it, my daughter will gladly switch her Samsung with me! Her phone is only about 4 months old. Eventually we will have to migrate, I can see the writing on the wall, but at the moment the extra $24 bucks a month for the same service seemed excessive. My att contract is simply better than anything Cingular has to offer right now.........I was surprised to find that Verizon
(the only other provider in this area), has no 7pm calling time available.
thanks again for the help
