AT&T to Introduce GoPhone Three-Dollar Per Day Unlimited Calling Option May 11

Posted on: Friday, 8 May 2009, 12:00 CDT

New Pay As You Go Feature Adds Flexibility to Get Unlimited Calling While Paying Only on Days Used

DALLAS, May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T* today announced a new prepaid calling option will be available beginning May 11 that offers unlimited nationwide calling for just three dollars per day. AT&T GoPhone customers will enjoy the flexibility of unlimited calling with charges only applying on days when they make or receive voice calls.

The new AT&T GoPhone plan includes no roaming or long distance fees on the company's national wireless network, making it a convenient and affordable option for customers who prefer a "Pay As You Go" package. Customers on the new GoPhone Unlimited Calling plan will also be able to use text messaging and data service at the same pay per use rates as all other GoPhone Pay As You Go plans, or customers can add messaging or data packages. Refills are sold at more than 200,000 locations across the U.S.

For customers who primarily call other AT&T mobile subscribers, AT&T also offers an Unlimited Mobile-to-Mobile plan, which provides unlimited calling to and from all 78 million AT&T wireless customers, and $0.10 for all other calls, for $1 a day.

"Prepaid customers are looking for more flexible options, and this new GoPhone offer bridges the gap between paying as you go and the need for unlimited calling," said Judy Cavalieri, vice president of Prepaid Products for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "Customers see value in an unlimited prepaid service that lets them pay only for the days they use and operates on a network they can trust, and GoPhone serves both needs."

AT&T GoPhone packages, which include a new device plus $15 airtime credit, are available in all AT&T stores, as well as other retail locations. Current GoPhone customers will be able to switch to the unlimited calling plan by calling 611 from their handset, or 800-901-9878 from a landline phone. Feature packages such as unlimited text messaging for $19.99 can be added by choosing the option 'Buy Features.' More information will be available at www.att.com/gophone.

AT&T also offers "Pick Your Plan" options which allow users to pay in advance for a monthly rate plan, without a contract, credit check or deposit. Both GoPhone offers include Rollover Balance(R), which lets customers carry over their unused account balances when they refill before their balances expire, up to the account maximum.
