CallPlus Wireless is a prepay
service that utilizes the Cingular Blue (previously AT&T Wireless) TDMA Network.
GSM service is now available, but I have not updated my CallPlus page with
GSM
info yet. |
The TDMA network will be shut
down sometime in 2008.
No new prepay TDMA activations
are being performed as of 12/31/2005. Prepay service will continue until March 30,
2007. My service was cut off March 15, 2007.
NOTE: Your phone's e-maill address
has changed to xxxxxxxxxx@mmode.com.
You must start using this address ASAP as the @mobile.att.net address will
be discontinued.
Long
Distance: Included. You have
to enter a special sequence of digits when you are not on the AT&T
network. Airtime is good
for 90 days. Airtime costs $0.15 to $0.25/minute based on the value
of the airtime card. Minimum monthly cost is $3.33/month.
Note that CallPlus airtime might never expire as long as you
make the one billable call every 30 days. One of my phones is going on 8 months without a refill! Only try this if you don't mind
possibly losing
your airtime.
Your account must incur at least one billable call every 30 days
Roaming: Costs 4x the minutes
when roaming. One of the only prepaid plans to roam in Canada (on Rogers)
Note: Cingular has not merged the Orange and Blue TDMA networks. You
will be roaming at 4x the rate when roaming on many Cingular Orange
systems. |
Promotions: Free activation
and free initial airtime (phone calls only) |
Plans: As low as $10 for
40 minutes
of airtime |
Phones: You can use any
AT&T-branded tri-mode TDMA phone (Non-AT&T phones may give you problems). If
the phone is not tri-mode then you'll
be roaming (at 4x the rates) in many parts of the US. |
