Cingular to Give Georgia Customers the 'Star' Treatment With New
*Services Product Free Service Provides Fast and Easy Access to
Important Account Information, Directly From the Handset ATLANTA,
April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular Wireless announced the launch of
*Services (pronounced Star Services), a new service that
essentially puts management of personal account information in the
hands of its wireless customers. *Services is designed to meet the
needs of Cingular customers who want a quick and easy means to
access and manage their wireless accounts. By simply dialing the
appropriate "star code," Cingular customers can have their current
account balance and/or remaining minutes delivered to their handset
via short-messaging text (SMS). *Services also allows customers to
enter a star code to make a bill payment using an interactive voice
response (IVR) feature. The star codes are: *BAL# (*225#) to
receive an update on outstanding balance *MIN# (*646#) to receive
an update on remaining minutes *PAY (*729) to use the IVR feature
to make a payment *Services is free to all "postpaid" Cingular
customers. All that's required is a wireless handset with
text-messaging capabilities. "Cingular wants its customers to have
an easy way to obtain accurate, up-to-date account information,"
said Cliff Minor, Vice President and General Manager of Cingular
Wireless-Georgia. "Within seconds of entering the appropriate star
code, customers will know exactly how many minutes they have used,
how much they owe on their account, and also have a fast, easy way
to pay their bill -- all from their handset." Cingular will
continue to roll out a number of new initiatives throughout the
year to enhance the customer experience and the company's customer
service systems and procedures. These include improving the
customer experience at all points of contact -- the initial sale,
service, billing, call center contact and online presence. The
company will introduce a new simplified bill, self-service
enhancements on the web, and simplified coverage maps and rate
plans. To obtain more information about *Services, please visit
