No, seriously: 1,000 free minutes. The only catch — insofar as I can tell — appears to be that you have to send a text message. So if you pay extra for those because you’re over 50, well, still: 1,000 minutes >>> 1 text message.
The presumed logic going here is that AT&T is 1) angry at becoming the second-most popular iPhone carrier or 2) foaming at the mouth thanks to Verizon’s slow push to steal customers and making a play to lock in more customers.
Anyway, back to the free minutes: simply text “yes” (or “Yes” or “YES”) to 11113020. Within seconds, barring you being unexpectedly ineligible for the deal, you’ll get a text back that says:
Thank you. Your Rollover minutes will be added to your account within 4 weeks, subject to verifying your account eligibility. Limit 1 credit per account.
There’s one other potentially scary point of this — by agreeing to accept something related to your service plan, you’re potentially exposing yourself to a new contract. Don’t look so confused — AT&T is all bouty-bouty getting people locked in for an additional two years without telling them.
In the meantime, fire a text out and get ready to spend an extra 1,000 minutes a month on the phone.
