Fave 5, My Circle.. or whatever?

Greetings all,

T-Mobile has Fave 5, Alltel offers My Circle & Sprint has Pick 3 for calling
frequently dialed numbers without counting against anytime minutes. Does
AT&T have a similar offering?

TIA... TL

With ATT you may call any of 50 million other ATT cellphone customers
and not have it count against your minutes.

Notice how they didn't really answer your question because it's NO....

How long do you think it would take a 15 year old girl, hormones raging, to
eat up those rollover minutes talking to her horny boyfriend that's using
My Circle now?

In the context of these two teens, "Rollover" is hilarious....(c;

OK, let me guess. Because it's way cheaper to get a plan with fav5, etc. ?

I pay for my daughters line on my at&t plan, $10 bux plus $15 for unlimited
data. (the whole family has $30 unlimited text) it doesn't bother me. I
also do the same for my 12 year old. The security of being able to get in
touch with them, or them me with a phone is well worth the money.

Those who rant otherwise have never had to search for that missing teen in
a crowded concert, theatre or mall....

.....for hours.

Boy, I'm glad I'm not your kids.

What a hardass. If one of them breaks an arm, I bet they're afraid to tell
you for fear of their lives!

If that is unlimited free calling to selected people, my ATT plan and most
of the plans I know of, have free calling to other ATT customers.

Exactly!

BTW, they have yet to run me over on minutes or dip into the roll over pool
(and thats what its there for), what did scare me was the texting, even if
they don't initiate or respound, their friends will text them.

Exactly. With T-Mobile they each have to buy a T-Mobile phone or
calling is only 1 way.

With AT&T they'd also each need a phone, but instead of 4 other people
to call, they'd have 50,000,000 others.

As far as the Sprint plan goes, it's unlimited free calling to any of the 3
numbers you designate, any carrier or landline.
