This Sunday, AT&T will introduce wireless “AT&T Unity”, the first new converged offer since the BellSouth/AT&Tmerger. AT&T’s Unity plan will combine its wireless and wireline networks covering more than 100 million phone numbers.
Instead of offering Cingular’s Rollover minutes, the plans include “Unity minutes” which can be used to call AT&T customers (wireless, wireline, residential or business) without incurring additional charges.
AT&T’s Unity plans will include multiple plans (FAQ) ranging from 500 anytime minutes for $60 to 6,000 anytime minutes $200 per month. The carrier will offer family plans ranging from 700 anytime minutes for $70 to 6,000 minutes per month for $300. Those charges do not include the wireline plans that are required to qualify for Unity.
Customers must subscribe to both Cingular’s wireless service and unlimited AT&T local and long-distance wireline service in order to qualify. They will receive a single bill for wireline and wireless service. AT&T said that the new wireless plans will also include unlimited night and weekend calling to any number.
AT&T’s Unity plans are available to residential and small business customers in a 22-state region that includes the territory formerly covered by BellSouth.
