AT&T offers shared landline, cell plans

Jul 21 2003 - 02:28 PM ET | In The News

AT&T has started to offer shared plans similar to Verizon's Freedom package. AT&T One aims to simplify life for consumers, but according to C|Net usually combo plans confuse consumers. The plans have been introduced in select markets (Tampa, Florida and San Diego, California) and offer unlimited night and weekend minutes that can be used by either a landline or a cell phone.

Interestingly enough, the plans are part of a new partership with AT&T Wireless which is a completely seperate company (except for the first 3 letters of the name). With these plans and a very similar name, hardly anyone will know they are separate.
