I just got a letter from AT&T about their SelectSaver Plan. Basically the letter states that according to their records we have been making enough calls to area code 305 that it may be worthwhile to sign up for SelectSaver. I've got a sister in Seattle (area code 206) and a sister in Ft. Lauderdale (area code 305). It's kind of odd that they mentioned 305 and not 206 since I think we make more calls to Seattle ... maybe the "data" they have is bogus. I'm wondering if it's worth signing up for. It says that it's a $1.90 per month and they'll even waive the sign up fee (which is funny because I didn't there was one in the first place!) of $5.00 if I sign up before April 1. Here are the specifics, if I sign up I get to call area code 305 at the following rates: 12 cents/minute M-F 5pm - 8am All Sat & Sun. 20 cents/minute M-F 8am - 5pm You also get a 5% discount on all other out-of-state, direct-dialed AT&T long distance calls made to other area codes. Frankly, I'm inclined not to sign up. Our family rarely makes long distance calls so I don't think this plan would really payoff. What do other people think?

This gives fairly generous discounts during off hours, a five percent discount on daytime calls, etc. PAT]
