AT&T Combines Wireless, Wireline In-Network Calling
Lol...this is not competitive at all
hmmm...sprint will let you add that to any plan for 5 bucks a month...no matter what kind of land line you have.

What is wrong with cingular/at&t?...this is horribly uncompetitive...so basically they are saying for a minimum of 60 bucks plus however much at&t charges for a land line you can call your home phone as much as you want...
hmmm...sprint will let you add that to any plan for 5 bucks a month...no matter what kind of land line you have.
so you are saying:
ATT:
Cell phone cost + home phone cost = final cost and you get everything on one bill with free calling to any number on ATT anywhere.
Sprint:
Cell phone cost + landline cost + 5 bucks = final cost. you still get 2 bills and can only call free to one number?
i would say the ATT option is better in terms of a landline calling opt...

wont the line you are calling from the cell phone have to be an att landline...
yes, but it could be ANY ATT landline vs sprint's choice of ONE landline number.

and how would you know if the person you are calling has AT&T? I couldn't tell u any of my friends landline companies...heck i don't even know what i have.
and I'm sure after using the service for one month, it wouldn't bee too hard to figure out who was with ATT based on which calls were free.

😛 ppl are turning off their landlines in record numbers, but whatever
Yeah, it's always good thinking to NOT have a working phone in the house in case of emergency.

Theres nothing like the reliability of a landline because it will never drop a call.
It's only as good as the power supplied to the lines. So if a major storm hit, most older communities might be without landline service since the lines are usually above ground, while most new subdivisions have the cables underground. Same goes with underground, just as long as they're not damaged by a digger, or an underground animal.

Well...if the phone lines are knocked over you might have some problems. But chances are a landline will work over a cell phone after a hurricane.
