-
- Cellular One in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina is offering
- a new feature on most of their calling plans.
-
- In addition to whatever monthly charge you are currently paying, for
- an extra $10 they will give you unlimited airtime on the weekends
- (defined as 11:59pm Friday to 12:01am Monday) for all calls made (or
- received) while in your local calling area. The only charges incurred
- would be for directory assistance or long distance land charges.
-
- Off-peak minutes with C1 go as low as $.20/minute with some plans (and
- are often more than that) so the break-even point is 50 minutes (or
- less).
-
- Any ideas why they'd just open the floodgates like this?
-
- As an aside, Centel (the only competitor in this market) is not
- matching the program or even coming up with something remotely close.
