Is AT&T Getting Rid of Some Plans?
I was on the AT&T website looking at the rate plans when I noticed something odd. Under individual plans, they only have the 450, 900, 1350 and Unlimited. And under the family plans, they do not have the 6000 minute plan anymore. It makes sense because the individual plans above 1350 are more than $99 and the 6000 family plan is more than $199, but does this mean that the other plans are gone? Or is AT&T just trying to push the Unlimited plan? Any ideas?
...
I think AT&T is trying to say, "Many people are too stupid to realize that the 2000 minute plan costs the same as the Unlimited plan, and there is absolutely no need to choose a higher individual plan than $99.99. These very same people will call in after going over their minutes in the future and complain that the Unlimited plan was never offered to them and demand a refund for overages. By removing these selections from the activation process, we are saving ourselves thousands of dollars in payroll expenses and congested call queues."

There is a problem with this logic. AT&T does still have the Family Talk 4000 plan listed. It is the same price as the Unlimited Family Talk.
...
Yeah, but how many lines can you have on that 4000 min plan? See the difference?
...
Five. You can get five lines on either plan. With the Unlimited, it is $99.99 per line and with the 4000 minutes, it is $9.99. I see your point though.
...
That's why I said Individual plans. On familytalk there's still some need for different options.
