Cellular One decided to join MCI in the "By the way, we forgot to tell
you about these changes" department, effective June 1, 1991.
Plan U, the Unlimited Plan, is no more as a stand alone plan.
Existing subscribers will be 'grandfathered' to $39.95/month plan P1,
but will be placed under a 500 minute cap. Above this cap, rates will
be $0.55/minute prime and $0.05/minute non-prime.
*** Cellular One Prime Time is now the same as Bell Atlantic,
0900 to 2100 hours weekdays. ***
You will be able to get a 'rider' on other existing plans to get Plan
U, which will have no cap. For example, if you have a typical
business-use plan now, you will be able to add unlimited service onto
it for $35/month extra.
Other changes no doubt have yet to come to light, but from where I
sit, this removes any substantive differences between the wireline and
non-wireline carriers in the National Capital area. One point in
favor of BAMS is their recent expansion of service on the Eastern
Shore, essentially allowing subscribers to place non-toll calls to
Ocean City and Salisbury, Maryland for example.
Get the rundown from Cell One for all the details; I could be totally
screwed up on this info :)
