Free mobile-to-mobile from AT&T, starting today
AT&T announced that it will offer free mobile-to-mobile calls to its customers, regardless of what network they're calling.
In a deal similar to one already offered to Sprint customers, callers on AT&T's network will not be charged for calls made between cellular phones in the U.S. The offer is available to any customer with an unlimited messaging plan and a qualifying voice plan. AT&T unlimited message plans cost $20 per month.
"Existing customers with an unlimited messaging plan can activate Mobile to Any Mobile by visiting www.att.com/anymobile, " the company said in a press release.
Gee, could the company be responding to a certain product launch today?

At&T should have been doing this BEFORE the Verizon launch. It would have been wise to be proactive. If I could, I would switch to Verizon.
BTW, your link to AT&T does not work.

Either this title is mis-leading or AT&T failed to update att.com/anymobile. According to the website, it costs $20 extra (for an individual) on top of your qualifying voice plan; therefore, how can it be free if you're paying for it?
