The AT&T you know today is actually the scummy wireless company that used to be called Cingular.
During the cell phone boom of early 2000s, Cingular purchased everything AT&T wireless related, including all the Bells. Then took on the name, as it was more globally recognized than Cingular.
That’s not Ma Bell. Ma Bell died years ago when SW Bell and BellSouth took over AT&T.
Sw bell and bell South took over ma bell, yes.
But that's not where it stopped.

Ahh, that explains the general shittieness surrounding the brand now.
I got out of the company in 2000 before all that started.
