I don’t know why people are even considering this offer, if you add it up this $3 per day is over $90 per month, that is outrageously expensive and it’s not as if they are offering anything extra to go with it. Even if I were to use it for only ten days per month I would still be paying more than I do with my Net10 phone. You then can’t take all your calls and and have to worry about how often you make calls instead of calling whoever, wherever and from wherever you want whenever you want to call like I do on Net10. That is because Net10 only charges 10 cents per minute without any daily fee, no roaming or long distance charges and no hidden costs. I’ll keep my Net10 phone thank you and AT&T can keep their expensive packages.

BTW with the 3000 N&W feature plan you still need to access the network so you are charged for that day. Also with plans like the 3000 N&W plans… if you call someone on the AT&T network you use your minutes from the 3000 pool before you use minutes from your free mobile to mobile. Free M2M is last on the list of minutes used.

When you access the voice network for AT&T you activate the plan for that day. That means if someone calls you and you press the end button to send to voicemail… you just accessed the network. IF you allow it to go to voicemail on its own… you will not be charged. Call your voicemail… charged the access fee. Text Msgs do not use the voice network so if you were to just text msg all day you would not be charged the daily access fee.

SaltyDawg, yes, if you make an M2M call, that will start the $3 charge for the day.

The only thing that appears to avoid the charge, as we understand it, is the 3000 N&W Feature Pack ($20/month). We have yet to confirm that though.

So does this include unlimited mobile to mobile minutes? If you use nothing but mobile to mobile minutes, will you get charged the $3.00 for that day?

This could be nice if it had unlimited data, mobile to mobile, and messaging.

yeah att its too late to try to woo customers that have been affected by the economy now. Iphone will be coming to other carriers soon and then youll see how many people leave att. Iphone has been holding att on top. I feel bad when their exclusivity agreement is over. There will be a mass exodus.

AT&T are a bunch of crooks. Their plans are unaffordable and their sales reps laugh at you when you call to voice concern. I’m cancelling my iphone / at&t tryst and going back to Verizon.

How many people really use all these minutes? I think they need text and data plans with like 200 minutes a month.
