GoPhone Media Net eliminates daily or per-kilobyte rates for prepaid data by giving subscribers a bucket of data minutes, said the company. Other add-ons to Cingular’s ‘Pick Your Plan’ include discounted international calling for $4 a month and voice dialing functions for $5 per month.
“With these additions, Cingular’s GoPhone customers have at their fingertips just about everything a postpaid customer has—with the exception of a long-term contract,” said Glenn Lurie, president of national distribution at Cingular.
