In the confusing world of cell phone carriers, finding the right
carrier and the right plan to fill your needs can be a daunting
task. One carrier that stands out, and has nationwide name
recognition is AT&T Wireless. A major problem for cell phone
users is poor coverage outside of major urban areas like
Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans or
Washington D.C. However AT&T uses a new Technology Time Division
Access (TDMA is also used by Cingular). Analog roaming services
are available almost everywhere in the U.S.
Calling plans with AT&T start as low as $39.95 s month. This
plan allows 450 daytime minutes and unlimited night and weekend
minutes. What AT&T customers really seem to enjoy are such
features as the AT&T Connect or Teleconcierge. Operators quickly
find numbers for anyplace, anywhere in the U.S., make
reservations for you, get local movie times, and call back to
confirm your dinner reservations. Other unique services include
stock quotes, event listings, weather reports, and daily
horoscopes.
One increasingly popular type of cell phone plan is pre-paid
calling plans. AT&T offers the Go Phone with pre-paid plans,
free unlimited night and weekend minutes, no contracts to sign,
no credit check or activation fee, or deposit. They also offer
Free 2 Go Wireless Solutions, also pre-paid with no contracts or
credit checks. However the Go Phone plan gives you the unlimited
free off prime minutes, lower per minute prices, wider choice of
AT&T cell phones, and more choices of AT&T ring tones, and
choices in payment options. For instance you can even set up a
plan to have your credit or debit card to automatically add to
your account when the minutes get low. The AT&T Go Phone plan
also offers lower international dialing rates to its Go Phone
customers.
Recently AT&T began to offer a new type of digital phone service
known as GSM/GPRS, which provides a true 56 kilobyte per second
internet connection speed for lap top computers hooked up to the
GSM phone line or that use a GSM plug in cord. Remember though
that the rates for this service is high with 400 voice minutes
and one megabyte of data transmission can add $50.00 to your
regular monthly bill. AT&T's numerous plans, versatile payment
options and TDMA and GSM technology have helped placed AT&T near
the top of successful cellular phone carriers.
