REDMOND, Washington, United States-AT&T Wireless introduced new pricing plans that could build on the success of the carrier’s Digital One Rate plan by adding more phones into the home. Bell Atlantic Mobile also introduced a group calling plan for the Southeast.

AT&T Wireless unveiled the AT&T Family Plan, which offers family members up to five handsets with unlimited calls made among them and to their home phone number in a designated geographic area.

Families must choose from three plans that include set amounts of minutes that customers use outside the family plan-either to nonfamily members or within a larger home calling area that falls outside the family program’s geographic area.
