You can do this, but you will have to unlock the phone in order to use it on the Cingular network. That will cost you about $40, about what you might be able to get on eBay for selling the free phone you get for re-upping with Cingular
Keep in mind that all of your network settings for AT&T (which will get deleted when you unlock I think) won't work for Cingular anyway. But check here or over at Howard Forums, there are plenty of posts about the correct Cingular network settings for the SMT5600
