AT&T $99 unlimited charter plan
ANyone interested in selling their charter plan to me.......... feel free to contact me.
...
because those plans charge 3 cent a minute to roam and are originally at&tws plans. so any blue tower you use will still get billed 3 cent a minute due to it being billed as roaming. thats not where it ends either. when you call into care about your bill they will credit it back to you but just one or two times after that they will STRONGLY I MEAN STRONGLY! urge you to update your plan as they will NOT continue to keep giving you credits to cover your actual roaming charges.
how many minutes do you use and what makes you want the charter plan?

I have never had to pay a roaming fee is this something new? I keep reading about all kinds of different things that are going to happen with these charter plans.Then at the end of this year it's rumored that if you do not switch to a cing. plan you'll be shut off. Is this true

one the intergration is 100% finalized they will start to bug you and give you options. if you don't choose you loose basically.

Sorry the $0.03 a minute to roam is wrong, i am well familiar with that plan, more then I want to be.
On the plan is a national network plan, so if you pick up the old former att wireless network no roaming anywhere in the good ole USA, but here's the big kicker, if you are off network, using any other network tower- T-Mobile, Cingular orange network etc... you are billed $0.25 a minute off network roaming fees, and $0.15 a minute off network long distance fee is you are calling along distance number, and the roaming fees can be in your hometown, house or halfway accross the country.
With network integration and yes Blue towers being turned down, thats means according to that plan you will see more and more off network roaming and bi...

i dont know where your info drops from. but as i look at my old service contract before becoming an at&t employee it says 3 cent to roam 15 cent for long distance while roaming. i got mine in june of 2004. and was hired and got that hot @$$ at&t employee plan in november of 2004. i barely roamed but once in a while it did roam on t-mobile.

The $99.99 unlimited charter plan is a national netowrk plan, and if you are a Employee, like i am then do this-when you get into work, go into your CCNet browser, bring up the next generation charter offers in expired plans GSM, there are 4: $19.99, $39.99, $59.99 and $99.99, they were all national network and the $0.25 a minute for off network roaming, if i was at work and could access the this site i would cut and paste it, but cingular barred this site.
They are all off network for these next generation of $0.25 a minute network roaming, the only thing thats $0.03 a anything is the mmode data service, which is billed at $0.03 a kb.

I haven't read the entire thread yet, but some people sure seem to want to direct you away from looking into the att wireless charter service. The business they are giving you about extra charges per minute, .03 charge per minute, is garbage. I have it - the $99 unlimited service charter plan, made available for a short time when ATT announced GSM service. I get charged that plus taxes. When it was originally announced, I grabbed it. I renewed it 2 or 3 times, the most recent was about Sept 2005, for 2 yrs, it will expire this fall, I think. Since Cingular took over, they have of course continuosly acted like it is going to stop working and that I had better switch to Cingular. I'm not paranoid but they're out to get us. They flip a switc...

This is gonna be a long one.First of all what was posted is not garbage.With that being said.I was a ATTWS Rep, who then became a cingular rep, who stills deals with the old "ATTWS" customers, and soon to be ATT again.
Your plan along with the other "Next Generation Charter Offers", were all unique plans there was $19.99 for 60+60 included minutes, $39.99 500+500 included minutes, $59.99 750+ 750 included minutes, and the $99.99 1500+ unlimited anytime minute promotion.
That being said.These plans were and still are National Network plans.Thats means if you are off network, not on the old att network you can get billed off network fees.As an example you could live in New York with a New York number, be off network and call Florida, no ...

Hmmm. So now I truly understand why when I worked with customers they would say they get a different story every time. I'm not going to comment much on this thread as there is so much information, that not only do I want to add even more confusion, I also since I have not been customer facing for some time now, do not want to potentially add more misinformation or think thank I'm giving accurate info when I am not.
I do want to get one topic in though. the last poster said...
"You saying that they flip a switch and you have poor service for 3 weeks and then you complain and they flip the switch again, isn't accurate.The old attws phones worked on 850 and 1900 Mhz.Cingular is converting the network to a 800 Mhz "UMTS" roll out for the ...

Firstly, there is no "switch" customers tend to have this idea that there is a magical switch somewhere that fixes or changes something. theres not, its called power cycling (turning your phone off and removing the battery for 30 secs to a min) its a necessity for gsm phones every once and a while and greatly improved call quality and reduces dropped calls.
I never said there was, the last poster before me did.As for power cycling phones, that what i did say.The customers on the old charter plans will only access the old network, as there coverage was based on the plan and coverage available at that time.Customers on the charter plans don't get aceess to the new coverage except as off network, which is what the plan was built...

Sorry I should have clarified I guess, the "switch" comment was directed at the original poster who stated it not you.
However I do think you should talk to your technical support desk before putting false information on this site that may scare the customers into thinking there on doomed technology. I used to work for tech support before I got my new position. And even contacted one of my former co-workers to verify the information I am posting today just to make sure it is still the same as it was when I worked there (approximately 3 weeks ago). My contact did confirm that Your statement is false. What towers you pick up on has nothing to do with your rate plan or what billing system you are in. All Cingular sim cards 32K or 64K are pro...

Who Are you getting your info from. As i said I was from TSD, i am a fore attws rep who now works for cingular. I know both sides very well from a technical point of view. the billing system has nothing to do with what their sim cards are programmed to read off of. Firstly. They will, even in sieble connect to orange towers. and second. There being migrated into the smae orange systems anyway where they still will be able to pick up orange signal. Ive seen the charter plan converted and it still works just fine.

Hi there. Just logged on and found this fascinating thread. I am neither a technical wizard nor know any of what you all are talking about. However, I was one of the lucky ones to sign up (Minneapolis area) for the ATTWS 99 offer back when. I don't really need all of the newfangled stuff in the phones today: but my plan and my Nokia 6310i and Jabra BT headset have worked well for several years.
To the point: I pay 99, plus 7.99 for some e-mail and web use to check sports scores. I pay taxes and that is it. Once in a blue moon, I pay for a call above and beyond that, but I have to tell you that that occurs once in 4-6 months and I travel a lot. So, I don't know about 3 cents or roaming; my understanding is that the plan is a national plan ...
