AT&T introduces unlimited calling to your A-list; program launches September 20th
Trying to catch up to Verizon's Family and Friends unlimited calling plan, AT&T is launching a plan of its own starting September 20th. With the carrier's A-List with Rollover, customers get to pick 5 domestic VIP numbers that they can make calls to on an unlimited basis. Families can pick 10 such domestic numbers with FamilyTalk. And what makes the AT&T plan unique is that the minutes you save by dialing those selected numbers can be kept with Rollover.

AT&T customers using individual Nation plans of $59.99 per month or higher can select 10 domestic numbers, including landlines or numbers on a different cellular carrier, and calls to those numbers will not count against the minutes in the customer's plan. FamilyTalk customers on plans costing $89.99 or higher can select 10 numbers that they can call on an unlimited basis. Information on entering phone numbers and making changes to your list can be found at the sourcelink.

VZW wasn't the first to have this plan? so what AT&T jump the band wagon like everyone else? Behind on everything? Buddy you should look at your phones/smartphones?

AT&T blatantly copies VZW again. It isnt about VZW being first, but once they change something you can bet that AT&T will come following with tale tucked between their legs.

"What makes this plan unique..." Come on, there is absolutely no uniqueness anymore with these plans. And for those that think "Rollover Minutes" are the best thing around, what happens if you change your plan? There goes your bank of unused minutes. And what does it tell you if you have millions of unused minutes? It simply means that you are paying too much money for the minutes you have! Get smart people....

yup you bank those roll over for 11 months and than change your plan to the lowest minutes (cheapest plan)...

Rollover minutes are just overage protection, they aren't made to bank up and drop your minutes for 5 months. If you downgrade your plan, it will adjust your rollover minutes accordingly. Say you were on a 700 minute plan for 3 months, and used 300 minutes a month. 3x400 rollover = 1200 minutes. If you then shift to a 500 minute plan, you'll have those 3 months rerated at 500 minutes, dropping you to 3x200 minutes, leaving you with 600 instead of 1200. So you still have the overage protection, just not a massive amount.

Well rollover can be useful. If you see yourself with too many extra minutes, then you need to change your plan. But you may use only a little bit of minutes in lets say August or September and then have a lot extra to use during the holidays. I actually enjoy not having to constantly check how many mintues I have left for the month. I also don't have to worry about accidently going over my mintues and getting a higher bill. It's actually very worry-free.

You snooze you lose AT&T. I switched back to Verizon last April because of the Friends and Family option (well that and the fact AT&T offered me bumpkis on a new phone after service for a year with them [where I supplied my own phone at the time]). Glad I did now, since I'm selling VZW again now...

6. VZWsucks posted on 09 Sep 2009, 13:25

trust me 12 month into your 24 month contract w/ VZW, their not going to give you the highest discount. I never had a problem w/ AT&T or T-Mo doing this for me...

8. rathdrum77 posted on 09 Sep 2009, 14:10

True, but I only had a one year contract with AT&T.

7. tuminatr posted on 09 Sep 2009, 13:43

whats next vzw to launch rollover, and the Iphone lol I bet

9. The Doc posted on 09 Sep 2009, 14:20

Rollover? Never...

10. allboutverizon posted on 09 Sep 2009, 14:47

I hate to say it but that was the only thing stopping me from going to AT&T. I been wating to leave Verizon for the Iphone but they didn't have the right plan for me, now they do. So guess I have something to think about.

As someone who's worked for both Verizon and AT&T, ask around to see who gets better reception in your area, then get a Blackberry on the better network in your area. The iPhone is largely just an overpriced toy with a cheap phone built in, whereas Blackberrys do all the same things, but have a top quality phone with it. The Storm 2 is supposed to be coming out around mid-October for both companies, and I'm fairly sure it will be much better than an iPhone.

14. sinfulta posted on 09 Sep 2009, 15:29

The Storm 2 is not coming out for both companies. There is a GSM version being made, but for overseas and for Rogers Canada. ATT will not be receiving the Storm 2, probably until most likely Apple releases there phone on another network would be my guess. Sorry. Storm 2 is exclusive to VZW. ATT should be getting the exclusive on the BB Onyx before christmas. My company finished the chipsets for them about 2 months ago, with a 6mo time frame that new BB for ATT should be out just before Christmas.

16. allboutverizon posted on 09 Sep 2009, 15:44

I have the Storm 1, so they need to bring it with the Storm 2, as I was not impressed at all. I don't mind waiting until October to see what the Storm 2 is about, but I hope it is better than the Storm 1 that I have. Truth is I love Verizon and yes I know they have the best network but their phone selection sucks.

I'd say go with the iphone because I feel you won't regret it. The iphone is the first phone that I've kept for over 8 months. I think that I might even reach the end of my contract without upgrading/early termination. But if you really need a hardcore business phone, get a blackberry. But only if you're a hardcore business person. And in my opinion, the iphone has a better overall quality.

Dont forget that Tmobile is also getting the 9700 "Onyx".
