More AT&T rate increases take effect

Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2008
by PhoneDog LLC,

• One Rate 7¢ Plus – Increases from $4.95 to $5.95

• One Rate 5¢ - Increases from $7.95 to $8.95 for customers also subscribed to AT&T as their local toll carrier and have opted for online billing.

• AT&T Select Saver – Increases from $3.75 to $4.99

• AT&T One Rate 7¢ Global Plan – Increases from $4.95 to $5.95

Consumers on these plans may want to compare the new cost of their monthly long distance service to other options, both with landline long distance carriers and over other platforms such as cell phones, Skype, and prepaid calling cards. While the cost of these alternative technologies may not end up saving money versus the AT&T plans, it’s generally smart for consumers to do a communications “check-up” at least once every six months regardless. These rate increases could be just the incentive needed to get out those bills and run the numbers. The money you save could be yours!

Monday, September 22, 2008I have serious problems with at&t I have local and long distance with them and not happy with my long distance cost at all I have unlimted long distance but the cost for it is like 54.00 a month and sometimes that changes alot. Taxes is very high cost. I do not quite like them for my longdistance rates.

Tuesday, April 29, 2008 We got the incentive all right: we cancelled ATT long distance and got Pioneer long distance. With Pioneer we only pay for what we use - which is HALF the per minute rate of what ATT and NO monthly fee!
