Wondering how to find your "official" AT&T store"

[ColsTiger]

Figures the only store near me is just a retailer. Damn! Now I have no idea what I'm going to do.

That was the whole point for me posting that long response. If you look for the things I pointed out in my first post in this thread, you'll be able to tell whether or not the store is a corporately owned store of just a franchise.

Unfortunately this doesn't work. None of the results show the "authorized dealer" tag that Alicia Grady suggests you look for. And because I worked with Cingular, I know the corporate stores and the authorized retailers.

(Assorted blah, blah, blah)

These are corporate stores:

Good luck!

Who gives a flying crap about Georgia iPhones?!

Well certainly not Napoleon.

Don't waste your time there. They won't have the iPhone for a while. That's a franchised store.

DANG IT! Now I will have to go to a city. Good thing I can't make it on launch day. =P

Yeah I Know... might be going to an Apple store(chicago)

Is Springfield closer than Chicago to you? If so there is an AT&T "official store" there.

There is only one near me! Can you tell me what this means:

Cingular Wireless Authorized Retailer

1472 E US HWY 36
......., OH .....,
|Equipment Upgrade|GoPhone Refills
(937) 653-6868 1.90 miles

Well according to the e-mail "authorized retailer are not AT&T owned
locations." so you are out of luck with this one.....

Click on the link I originally posted and put the zip 62703 (springfield) the second listing doesn't say "retailer" just "CINGULAR WIRELESS" all in caps, so i'm assuming it's an AT&T owned store. You might want to call to be sure though. I'm in Lincoln, about an hour SW of you.
