| I used to have the old MCI/Voicestream North America plan
($39.95/month 300 minutes USA and Canada Coverage). However, as time
went on 300 minutes simply wasn't enough, Voicestream (before becoming
T-Mobile) was nice enough to give me 2000 weekend minutes, but, I was
still going over.
I was extremely fortunate to stumble onto Amazon back in Feb. of this
year, and found that they were selling AT&T plans (this is after
their aquisition by Cingular and the AT&T plans were not
available anywhere else). I also found that AT&T offered at a
charge of $9.95 the ability to expand your home area to Canada,
Mexico and Peurto Rico. Thus, I signed up for the 600 minute ($49
plan) plus the $9.95 North American coverage option.
To my utter delite when I later received my new phone and I called
AT&T to switch my number to my old one, the customer service rep
started issuing bonuses. Essentially saying that since AT&T
wireless was being merged, they had a lot of promotional stuff that
could be given away.
To make a long story short, she switched me back to the $39.95 plan
(keeping the $9.95 expanded coverage option), which has only 400
minutes, then she gave me 700 bonuses minutes per month, permenantly.
Thus a total of 1100 minutes and free roaming/LD to Canada/Mexico/PR
for under $50. The plan also has unlimited nights and weekends, and
she gave me early nights (start at 7PM) and free mobile to mobile
(cingular/ATT)
I can now use this phone as my only phone and disconnect my land
line.
At any rate, you can still get the free roaming/LD to
Canada/PR/Mexico, however, it will be a Cingular plan, and the
minutes are low, and they charge a premium of $20 over their regular
plans.
Just goes to show, that there was some generous customer service at
AT&T.
