BAM OFFERS SHARE-A-MINUTE FOR FAMILIES, CO-WORKERS

BEDMINSTER, N.J.-Bell Atlantic Mobile this week will introduce Share-A-Minute pricing that offers families and small businesses the option to share monthly access and home airtime minutes while combining free local calling within a group.

The customer pays one flat-rate monthly access fee and shares a pool of home airtime minutes between two digital phones for calls made within the calling area. Additional users can join the Share-A-Minute plan for an additional $15 each, said Bell Atlantic Mobile.

For $50, the plan includes 200 home airtime minutes a month for each member to use when calling or receiving calls from other group members, in addition to the home airtime minutes the group shares.

For $80, subscribers get 500 home airtime minutes per month, and for $100, 800 home airtime minutes are included.

BAM said the plan will be available in all of the company’s East Coast markets by Nov. 9.
