New unlimited cell phone to cell phone calls
I just learned recently from AT&T our cell phone provider that they now, upon request (or you can provision it online at your account), offer free calling between cell phones of all carriers (whereas, it used to be just free calls between AT&T cell phones); ie, an AT&T cell phone calling a Verizon cell phone does not get charged for the minutes. Apparently this service just became available from AT&T in early March, 2011.
I don't know if the other service provider companies offer the same thing, but would assume they do, since it is being called by AT&T "an agreement between competitors"; but apparently it is not automatically applied to an account (at least, not with AT&T); you have to ask.
Since so many calls today are between cell phones this may offer a savings on many people's accounts, to where they can reduce their rate plan since there will be fewable billable minutes.
