Go Phone Scam?
Posted: 12-14-07 03:33am

Ive been seeing ALLLL these commercials about unlimited talk and text from AT&T/Cingular (with the gingerbread guy fixing his roof, and his little gingerbread son goes riding off on his bike with his friends after asking for a Go phone.. blah blah blah) well they always mention something about, the boy tells the dad he "doesnt have to worry about paying for minutes because uts unlimited talk and text." and he throws him the phone says marry christmas or something and the kid pedals off..

well i looked it up to get for Rob for Christmas, and i cant find it ANYWHERE.. i googled it and all i can find is somebody ELSE asking why they cant find anything on it.. the only thing on the AT&T wireless site is unlimited calling to OTHER AT&T customers.

Anyone else seen this commercial?

I've seen the commercial, but I didn't really pay attention to it... I'm trying to find it on youtube now.

Just watched it... the go phone does have an unlimited plan. You pay $1 for each day that you use the phone and get unlimited call and text for that one buck. And if you don't use your phone, you don't have to pay.

I don't know if the link will work because I typed in my zip code before to get into it:

http:// www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/go -phones/pyg-plans-phones.jsp?WT.svl=callto action&ContentId=900310&_requestid =320952

If it doesn't work, got to the at&t website, click shop, gophone, and "Pay as you go deals". At the top theres a box that lets you pick which plan you want, the $1 a day for unlimited minutes, or $0.25 a minute.

haha i just had a nice conversation with a "AT&T REP"
~~~~~~
Thank you for your patience! An AT&T, sales representative will be with you shortly.
You are now chatting with Brandy K, an AT&T, sales representative.
Brandy K: Welcome to AT&T online Sales support. How may I assist you with placing your order today?
Sandy: I saw a commercial that said you offer unlimited talk and text now? I cant find it on your site, so is this false advertising?
Brandy K: I'd be happy to help you with that.
Brandy K: The advertisement is speaking in reference to our prepaid plan of $69.99.
Sandy: ok when i looked at that it said it only includes 650 minutes
Brandy K: It is speaking in reference to the option of the unlimited mobile to mobile and the option of unlimited text.
Sandy: ok the commercial doesnt mention that the unlimited talk only applies to mobile to mobile.. AT&T is going to lose a lot of loyal customers because of this and it can also be considered false advertising.
Sandy: no fine print, no side note.. nothing.
Brandy K: Would you like to see the plan it is speaking in reference to this?
Sandy: i see the plan.. Pick Your Plan $69.99 With Unlimited Talk.. Anytime Minutes(up to) 650
Brandy K: Yes.
Sandy: i see the unlimited night and weekend and the unlimited M2M.. thats not my point
Brandy K: I I apologize about the confusion.
Sandy: the commercial specifically states there is unlimited talk and text. it never mentions that it only applies to mobile to mobile.
Sandy: it needs to or else u guys are going to have a LOT of irate calls.
Sandy: im actually pretty pissed myself.. that commercial is VERY misleading.. (and i know you didnt make it lol.. but still.)

that's gay.

I'm thinking about getting the $0.25 a minute plan though.. I like never talked on my cell phone when I had it, but I'd like to have one just in case.

Do you know about any good buddy pay-as-you go plans? Like where they have two phones on it?
