At&t is always half assing their promotions

Sprint and T-Mobile offer unlimited 2g data and $.20 a minute calling. Verizon offers a $10 a day plan which only deducts from you home plan. At&t needs to learn to get its act together. If they want to make an offer, they should at least be a bit more competitive.
