New Wireless Rates Announced No more confusing claims, no more hassles. Wireless customers can ignore the jungle of advertised pro motions out there thanks to AT&T Wireless' new Digital PCS consumer and business rates effective in nine Western states beginning Thursday, January 15. The new rates represent a shift in AT&T Wireless' strategy to distin guish itself not only on service qual ity and coverage but also on price, simplicity and flexibility. Individu als, small businesses and corpora tions will benefit from increased in cluded minutes; incoming call dis counts; lower off-peak calling rates; a lower, fiat long-distance rate’ ver satile billing options’ and nine free local calling days. “To succeed in this industry, you must be a company that not only wins customers, but keeps them." said Neil Grubb, general manager for AT&T Wireless in Oregon and Southwest Washington. “We’re doing that by steering away from short-term pro motions and concentrating on what will make customers want to stay with AT&T in the long run.” For example, the small business customer, generally a company with anywhere from two - 20 phones or using 500 airtime minutes or more a month, will benefit from several sig nificant changes: In c o m in g C all D is c o u n ts : Small business custom ers who have been reluctant to give out their cellu lar phone num ber will do so more freely, knowing that the entire length o f an incom ing call is billed at half the normal rate. A Lower, Flat, Long-D istance Rate: If a c u sto m e r ch o o se s AT&T as their w ireless lo n g-dis tance carrier, all long-distance calls will be billed at only 15 cents per minute. Current AT&T Digital PCS cus tomers will see automatic changes beginning with the first invoice they receive on or after January 15. Small Business Plans will be available as of January 21. Corporate Plans will be available in February.
