                       RECENT EVENTS: DEREGISTRATION

     This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the Post-Effective Amendment
No. 1 on Form S-8 to Form S-4 (registration number 333-74098) (the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on April 1, 2002 which registered 10,892,496 shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of New Cingular Wireless
Services, Inc., formerly known as AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. (the
"Company").

     The Company, Cingular Wireless Corporation ("Cingular"), Cingular
Wireless LLC, Links I Corporation ("Links"), and, solely with respect to
certain sections thereof, SBC Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corporation
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 17, 2004
(the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, on October 26, 2004, Links, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Cingular, merged with and into the Company (the
"Merger"). As a result of the Merger, the Company has become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Cingular and all outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock (and associated Rights to Purchase Preferred Stock) have been
converted into the right to receive $15.00 in cash and each share of the
Company's Series C Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock has been
converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to its then
applicable liquidation preference.

     In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company has
terminated all of its offerings of its Common Stock and related
participation interests pursuant to its existing registration statements,
including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking
made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from
registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities of the
Company which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company
hereby removes from registration all Common Stock registered under the
Registration Statement which remain unsold as of the date hereof.
