AT&T Creates Largest Unlimited Calling Community in America

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced an unprecedented new offer, which gives subscribers the nation’s largest unlimited free calling community, including wireless and wireline phone numbers. The AT&T UnitySM plan, which is available beginning Sunday, Jan. 21, brings together home, business and wireless calling, creating a calling community of more than 100 million AT&T wireless and wireline phone numbers.

AT&T Unity customers can call or receive calls for free from any AT&T wireless and wireline phone numbers nationwide without incurring additional wireline usage fees or using their wireless Anytime minutes.* In addition to free domestic calling to and from AT&T numbers, the AT&T Unity plan includes wireless service with unlimited night and weekend minutes, as well as a package of Anytime Minutes.

The AT&T Unity plan is the company’s first major converged product offering since the company’s Dec. 29 acquisition of BellSouth Corp. and consolidation of Cingular Wireless. “AT&T Unity is the ideal way to introduce our customers to the real power of combining wireless and wireline services into an appealing offering that delivers value, flexibility and convenience,” said Edward E. Whitacre Jr., chairman and CEO of AT&T. “More than two years ago, Cingular Wireless, now the new AT&T, raised the bar by creating the largest unlimited wireless calling community in America — a feat no competitor has been able to duplicate. With AT&T Unity, we are raising the bar even higher by adding unlimited domestic calling to and from AT&T wireline customers.”

To sign up for a new AT&T Unity plan, a customer needs to subscribe to AT&T wireless service and unlimited AT&T local and long distance wireline services. The bundle includes both unlimited local and long distance plans and an AT&T Unity wireless plan. Customers who subscribe to AT&T Unity have the convenience of a single bill for their AT&T wireline and wireless services. AT&T Unity rate plans are available to new and existing AT&T qualified residential and small business customers in the company’s 22-state service area, which now includes the local service area of the former BellSouth. Domestic calls made from and to any AT&T phone number nationwide are eligible.
