PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus
and may not contain all of the information that you should consider before
deciding to exchange your notes. We urge you to read this entire prospectus
carefully, including the "Risk Factors" section and the consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto.
BUSINESS SUMMARY
OVERVIEW. We are the second largest provider of advanced mobile wireless
voice and data communications services in the United States, based on the number
of wireless subscribers. We were formed by the combination of the U.S. wireless
communications operations of SBC Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corporation,
two of the largest providers of voice and data services. We had:
- 21.8 million U.S. wireless subscribers in over 220 metropolitan areas as
of March 31, 2002;
- revenues of $3.5 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2002;
- net income of $370 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002; and
- total liabilities and members' capital of $22.3 billion as of March 31,
2002, including indebtedness of $12.5 billion of which 77% represented
subordinated indebtedness to SBC and BellSouth.
We offer advanced wireless voice and data communications services across an
extensive U.S. service territory, which we refer to as our "footprint", and
operate one of the largest digital wireless networks in the United States.
- We have access to licenses to provide cellular wireless communications
services and personal communications services, or "PCS", over networks
covering an aggregate population, which we refer to as "POPs", of
approximately 231 million, or approximately 81% of the U.S. population,
including in 45 of the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. POPs in this
prospectus were determined based upon U.S. Census 2000 data by county,
mapped to FCC license area definitions.
- We provide cellular or PCS services in 42 of the 50 largest U.S.
metropolitan areas.
- 100% of our networks utilize digital technology.

- At March 31, 2002, 87% of our cellular and PCS customers were using
digital service, and in March 2002, 97% of our cellular and PCS minutes
of use were digital.
With 3.4 million active users of our data services at March 31, 2002, we
are a U.S. industry leader in providing advanced wireless data services and are
well-positioned to capitalize on the projected rapid growth in demand for
wireless data transmission, including e-mail, Internet access and interactive
messaging. We:
- provided advanced data services to approximately 765,000 customers as of
March 31, 2002, including the U.S. Congress and the Department of
Defense, over our separate "Mobitex" data network, which covers over 90%
of the U.S. metropolitan population, including the top 50 largest U.S.
metropolitan areas;
- had over 2.6 million active cellular and PCS users of our wireless
Internet, short messaging and other data services at March 31, 2002; and
- are in the process of deploying high-speed digital data General Packet
Radio Service, or "GPRS", service throughout our cellular and PCS
networks, as well as enhancing our network infrastructure in many of our
markets to provide a common voice standard across our networks.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
ISSUANCE OF THE OLD
NOTES...................... The old notes were issued on December 12, 2001 in a
transaction not requiring registration under the
Securities Act.
THE EXCHANGE OFFER; NEW
NOTES...................... We are offering to exchange $2,000,000,000
aggregate principal amount of new notes that have
been registered under the Securities Act for a like
principal amount of old notes of the same tenor
that noteholders properly tender and do not
withdraw before the expiration date. The new notes
may be exchanged only in minimum denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples thereof, although
holders of old notes in certificated form may
exchange their old notes for new notes only in
minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. All new notes will be
represented by global notes deposited with a
custodian for, and registered in the name of, The
Depository Trust Company, or "DTC". We will issue
the new notes on or promptly after the expiration
date. See "The Exchange Offer".
EXPIRATION DATE............ The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on August 28, 2002, unless extended
by us for up to 15 days. If extended, the term
"expiration date" will mean the latest date and
time to which the exchange offer is extended. We
will accept for exchange any and all old notes
which are properly tendered in the exchange offer

and not withdrawn before 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the expiration date.
RESALE OF NEW NOTES........ Based on interpretive letters written by the staff
of the SEC to companies other than us, we believe
that, subject to certain exceptions, the new notes
may generally be offered for resale, resold and
otherwise transferred by you, without compliance
with the registration and prospectus delivery
provisions of the Securities Act, if you:
- acquire the new notes in the ordinary course of
your business;
- do not have an arrangement or understanding with
any person to participate in a distribution of
the new notes;
- are not an affiliate of ours within the meaning
of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and
- are not a broker-dealer that acquired the old
notes directly from us.
If our belief is inaccurate as to any holders, such
holders of new notes who offer, resell or otherwise
transfer new notes in violation of the Securities
Act may incur liability under that Act. We will not
assume or indemnify holders against this liability.
If you are a broker-dealer that purchased old notes
for your own account as part of market-making or
trading activities, you must deliver a prospectus
when you sell new notes. We have agreed under a
registration rights agreement relating to the old
notes to allow you to use this prospectus for this
purpose for a period of 180 days after the
consummation of the exchange offer.

<PAGE>
CONDITIONS TO THE EXCHANGE
OFFER...................... We may terminate the exchange offer before the
expiration date if we determine that our ability to
proceed with the exchange offer could be materially
impaired due to:
- any legal or governmental actions;
- any new law, statute, rule or regulation; or
- any interpretation by the staff of the SEC of any
existing law, statute, rule or regulation.
The exchange offer is not conditioned on the tender
of any minimum principal amount of old notes.

TENDER PROCEDURES --
BENEFICIAL OWNER........... If you are a beneficial owner of old notes and wish
to tender old notes that are registered in the name
of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company
or other nominee, you should contact the registered
holder promptly and instruct the registered holder
to tender on your behalf.
You should follow the instructions received from
your broker or nominee with respect to tendering
procedures and contact your broker or nominee
directly.
TENDER PROCEDURES --
REGISTERED HOLDERS AND DTC
PARTICIPANTS............... If you are a registered holder of old notes and you
wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must
complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal
delivered with this prospectus. If you are a
participant in DTC and you wish to participate in
the exchange offer, you must instruct DTC to
transmit to the exchange agent an agent's message
indicating that you agree to be bound by the terms
of the letter of transmittal. You should mail or
otherwise transmit the letter of transmittal, or,
if you are a participant in DTC, instruct DTC to
send an agent's message, together with your old
notes in book-entry form, and any other required
documentation to Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as
exchange agent.

expiration date, you must tender your old notes
according to special guaranteed delivery
procedures. See "The Exchange Offer -- Procedures

EXCHANGE AGENT............. Bank One Trust Company, N.A.
EFFECT ON HOLDERS OF OLD
NOTES...................... Any old notes that remain outstanding after this
exchange offer will continue to be subject to
restrictions on their transfer. After this exchange
offer, holders of old notes will not have any
further exchange or registration rights with
respect to the old notes, with limited exceptions.
Any market for old notes that are not exchanged
could be adversely affected by the consummation of
this exchange offer.
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF
EXCHANGE OFFER............. You will not recognize any income, gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the
exchange.
THE NEW NOTES
ISSUER..................... The new notes will be the obligations of Cingular
Wireless LLC.
THE NEW NOTES.............. - $500,000,000 of 5.625% senior notes due December
15, 2006;
- $750,000,000 of 6.50% senior notes due December
15, 2011; and
- $750,000,000 of 7.125% senior notes due December
15, 2031,
all of which have been registered under the
Securities Act.
INTEREST PAYMENT DATES..... June 15 and December 15, commencing December 15,
2002.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION........ Like the old notes, the new notes are redeemable at
our option at any time, in whole or in part, at
redemption prices equal to their principal amount
plus any "make-whole premium" and any accrued and
unpaid interest.
RANKING.................... Like the old notes, the new notes will be our
unsecured obligations and will rank equally with
all of our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations
and senior to all subordinated debt. The new notes
will effectively rank junior to any of our secured
debt. In addition, the new notes will effectively
rank junior to all liabilities of our subsidiaries,
including secured debt and trade payables. As of
March 31, 2002:
- we and our subsidiaries had $778 million of

secured debt, including $764 million of capital
lease obligations; we were also liable for $168
million of capital lease obligations that we
contributed to our venture with VoiceStream
Wireless;
- our subsidiaries had $3.6 billion of unsecured
liabilities;
- we had $2.0 billion of unsecured unsubordinated
debt, comprised primarily of the old notes; and
- we and our subsidiaries had an aggregate of $9.7
billion of unsecured loans from SBC and
BellSouth, which are subordinated to the extent
described elsewhere in this prospectus, but which
are scheduled to mature before the new notes.
FURTHER ISSUES............. We may create and issue further 2006 notes, 2011
notes and 2031 notes ranking equally and ratably
with the new notes of that series in all respects,
so that those further notes would be consolidated
and form a single series with the new notes of that
series and would have the same terms as to status,
redemption or otherwise as the new notes of that
series.
TRUSTEE.................... Bank One Trust Company, N.A.
