I haven't seen these reported on Telecom yet, so here are the AT&T
rate changes that go into effect January 1, from a press release on
the business wire:
The total decrease is supposed to be $33 million, not a whole lot.
A 1.1 percent drop in the MTS day rate, and corresponding drop in ROA
rates.
Calls from mainland US to what used to be East Germany now charged at
the lower West German rate. No info on when country code 37 goes
away.
Cuts in basic prices from Hawaii to 17 countries and areas.
Lower prices for some operator-assisted and station-to-station calls
to Mexico.
Lower Reach Out World prices, including a reduction in the plan's
service order charge from $5 to zero, lower peak and off-peak prices
from the U.S. mainland to Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and the
Philippines, lower peak prices to 11 other countries and lower prices
from Hawaii to five countries and areas.
Also, don't forget that seven-digit numbers in Tokyo have an extra 3
prefixed to the number to make them all eight digits.
If anyone cares, I don't work for AT&T and my regular carrier is
Sprint.
