NO!  With AT&T's plan, the base price is the best price you can
find anywhere.  You don't even have to tell them you're getting 
Opportunity Calling savings; you can mail the receipt to AT&T
afterwards for a rebate (except airfare, where price is fixed
anyway).  This is a key feature that makes AT&T's plan better than
any similar plan I've ever heard of.  Please don't post articles
to thousands of readers with unverified, easily verified "assumptions."
