AT&T Plus offers premium service for AT&T customers
With competition in the mobile carrier business so cutthroat, it is every carrier for itself. AT&T is responding by testing out a premium service called AT&T Plus. The service has launched in a few key markets like Minneapolis and Houston; while it is a free trial now, it is assumed that eventually AT&T will start asking for some extra cash to join.
We'd love to give you a long laundry list of extras that membership to AT&T conveys upon you. We'd love to, but we can't. Right now, the only perks are a dedicated customer service number and a 25% discount on all AT&T phone accessories, not including anything branded Apple. Also, members can add a new lines of service for new devices with no activation fees. Lastly, members get a $10 Starbucks gift card, presumably to get that caffeine in their system so they can stay up late at night and make calls on their AT&T phone.
