14 DAY TRIAL // US mobile phone carrier AT&T announced on Monday a new offer for its customers, consisting of a new bundle of services that targets all the means of communications one would like to enjoy, including home phone, high speed Internet, and wireless voice with unlimited texting. All of these services are now available on AT&T via a bundle that is priced starting at $99 a month.
“Our latest bundle offer brings together all your favorite ways to communicate - including wireless calling and texting, that simply aren’t part of a cable bundle,” said Joey Schultz, vice president for wireline consumer marketing for AT&T. “As consumers keep a closer eye on their budgets, they are increasingly seeking ways to bundle all of their essential services to get greater discounts.”
According to the wireless operator, it also offers its customers the possibility to bundle its AT&T Nation 450 or the AT&T FamilyTalk wireless calling plan, an ALL DISTANCE home phone plan (with unlimited calling both local and nationwide), unlimited texting and FastAccess DSL, all of which will now come with a $25 monthly discount, totaling $300 in savings each year.
At the same time, AT&T also announced that the new offer could be enjoyed by its subscribers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, whether they are new to the network or existing customers that opt for at least one of the qualifying services to be added to their package.
However, the carrier also notes that “the $25 monthly bundle discount is an ongoing discount.” Mike Jude, program manager, Stratecast, a division of Frost & Sullivan, commented: “We know from our research that consumers and families shopping for a communications bundle that includes home phone, Internet and especially wireless calling and texting are looking for a less complex way of acquiring and using these services. They’re looking for the convenience of flexible triple-play and quad-play bundles that feature understandable billing plans.”
