GREENVILLE, S.C. — Businesses and families can now share their Bell Atlantic Mobile home airtime minutes with up to four different users when they take advantage of the company's new DigitalChoice® "Share-A-Minute" and "Additional Line" price plans.
"Business owners enjoy extra flexibility and cost savings when their employees share monthly minutes," said Jerry Fountain, vice president of the company's Southeast region. "These new plans are great for small businesses or families who want the option and convenience to share minutes among several wireless phones."
The "Share-A-Minute" program allows Bell Atlantic Mobile customers who sign up on a new DigitalChoice wireless service plan of 250 home airtime minutes or higher per month to add up to four DigitalChoice users to their plan for $12.99 each. All lines on the "Share-A-Minute" plan can share total home airtime minutes.
Here's how it works:
A business owner, has one wireless phone with 600 home airtime minutes of DigitalChoice wireless service for $49.99 monthly access and decides to take advantage of the DigitalChoice "Share-A-Minute" program to add a second line for the company's vice president, for $12.99 monthly access. They are now able to share the 600 minutes for $62.98 per monthly access. The business owner can also add DigitalChoice "Share-A-Minute" lines for two more employees, with the entire group sharing a total of 600 home airtime minutes each month for $88.96 monthly access.
Bell Atlantic Mobile also has revised its DigitalChoice price plans, increasing the number of minutes allowed on three plans.
