AT&T just released a new promotion today in their battle with T-Mobile by offering a $100 credit to customers (new or existing) who add a line of service.
I didn't add a line, but thought I would give AT&T a call to see what's up. I just got off the phone with a very nice CSR who gave me a $100 credit as a long time customer with 5 lines on a Family Plan. I just asked what type of deals can they offer to long time, loyal customers who are looking at options to saving some money on their cell phone plans. She put me on hold and about 2 minutes later she was back saying she could credit my account.
I did not push it further as I figured I would take that for now and see what else can be had later as I need to move to the Family Share Plan anyway as I have another phone on a GoPhone plan and then need to add another this summer, so having 5 phones on AT&T and then 2 on a GoPhone plan gets to be a pain and I want to consolidate to one bill.
I would love to switch to T-Mobile but their coverage is poor in a lot of areas where we travel. Saving money is good, not being able to use your smart phone due to a lack of coverage is not.
It could get really interesting if T-Mobile coverage gets to a point that rivals AT&T/Verizon.
