Change to Unity Plan

You heard it here first:
Currently you sign up for the AT&T Unity plan
and you lose your Cingular Rollover Minutes and capability.
That is going to change soon, so Roll-Over will remain. (May 1 ?).

Hmm, maybe AT&T is actually going to try to sell the Unity plan, rather
than just using it in advertisements!

It does allow them to quote 100 Million for the total of Cingular and
ATT landline customers in their Advertisements.
For many small businesses it could be a good deal. For residential
customers like myself, it makes zero sense to pay for $40/month
so I could get a ATT landline long distance to save maybe 100 Minutes
on my Cingular plan that has over a 1000 rollover minutes on it. I
haven't made a long distance call from my landline in 3 years.

I doubt it. Small businesses are especially vigilant at keeping costs
under control, and there are far less expensive alternatives to long
distance than the Unity plan.

I think that many, if not most, wireless users are in the same
situation. Between included unlimited nights & weekends, and included
unlimited mobile to mobile, the need to pay for long distance calls from
a land line is minimal. For those times that you want to save peak
minutes, there are plenty of low cost long distance plans, such as
OneSuite or TalkLoop. No wonder companies like Vonage can't make it.

Actually just the opposite -- small businesses tend to lack the
expertise of big businesses, and are far more likely to have less than
optimal communications as a result.

Vonage is easily ahead of fringe players like those, but has a very big
problem in the legal area.
