SAN ANTONIO, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — The estimated 10
million businesses with fewer than 100 employees are the lifeblood of the
American economy. To better serve the needs of this important segment, AT&T
Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced a new wireless offer that brings the
benefits of AT&T FamilyTalk plans to small businesses, enabling them to
share monthly Anytime Minutes for up to 40 employees.
The new BusinessTalk plans start at $60.00 per month for five users and
700 Anytime Minutes and go up to 40 users and 20,000 Anytime Minutes. They
are designed to help small businesses better manage their monthly costs by
reducing overage charges and simplifying billing.
Companies may choose BusinessTalk with unlimited Mobile to Mobile or
Push To Talk features. While the exact amount of savings depends on each
customer’s individual circumstances, some companies could save nearly 20
percent of their monthly service charges with BusinessTalk compared to
AT&T’s standard voice pool plans.
“Smaller companies are inherently mobile and rely heavily on wireless
technologies to stay connected to their customers and run their
businesses,” said Kent Mathy, president, Small Business, AT&T’s wireless
unit. “Our BusinessTalk offer will help these businesses be more productive
in serving their customers.
AT&T also launched a new advertising campaign that kicked off with
television commercials during the Masters this past weekend. Using the
tagline “Seize the moment,” the campaign focuses on how businesses use
wireless technology to get more done in the day, react faster to business
opportunities and be more responsive to their customers. The campaign will
also feature online and print components.
In addition, the AT&T Exclusively Business small business program,
launched last year, waives activation fees for new lines of service for its
members and offers an eight percent discount on monthly service charges for
qualified voice and data service plans — including the primary line on
BusinessTalk. Small businesses can also extend this service discount as a
benefit to their employees.
AT&T, the worldwide leader in BlackBerry sales, separately today
