If you make over $15 of AT&T calls in a month, you get "Opportunity
Calling" credits equal to the TOTAL price of the calls (not just
the excess over $15).  These credits can be used, generally
dollar-for-dollar, toward the purchase of certain products.
The good news is that you get a reduction over the best price you
can find, not over list price; you can either order a coupon from
AT&T in advance or send in the receipt for a rebate.  The bad news
is that you can only save a certain amount on a given product
(e.g., you can't get something free).

I believe they automatically signed up and registered people who
average at least $11 of AT&T calls a month, and maybe not even all
of those people.  As previous netters have stated, you can also
sign up by calling AT&T Communications.  (By the way, AT&T handles
virtually all interstate, and some intrastate, calls for its
subscribers.)
