Choose the Plan That's Right for You

If you're an AT&T Long Distance customer signing up in 1996, you can experience this exciting new service for five free hours a month for one full year. Beyond your five free hours, you'll be charged only $2.50 for each additional hour. Just use the service for a minimum of one hour per month. If you intend to use AT&T WorldNet Service for more than five hours a month, consider choosing the plan with unlimited hours for $19.95 per month.*

If you're not an AT&T Long Distance residential customer, you can still benefit from AT&T quality and reliability by starting with the plan that offers three hours each month and a low monthly fee of $4.95. Under this plan you'll be charged $2.50 for each additional hour, or AT&T WorldNet Service can provide you with unlimited online access for $24.95 per month. It's entirely up to you.

If you're not currently an AT&T Long Distance customer but would like to become one, please call 1 800 431-0800, ext. 21624.
