Consumer Tip for April 2007

BEWARE OF RATE CHANGES FOR IN-STATE CALLS MADE WITH AT&T PRE-PAID PHONE CARDS

Effective  January 10, 2007, AT& T has increased their rates for all in-state calls.  In Pennsylvania, all in-state calls will be charged five minutes for each minute of talk time. Cards purchased or recharged after this date will be subject to this new rate.

Rates for calls made from Pennsylvania to other states will vary by company and retailer, but it is very important to read the fine print before purchasing a new card.
