AT&T GoPhone

AT&T will begin providing unlimited voice and text for $60 a month as part of its GoPhone prepaid service, the company announced Friday. Other prepaid plans from Boost Mobile and MetroPCS, for example, are around $50 a month or less, but the $60 a month plan still sounds pretty good.

The plan also includes unlimited texting to Canada, Mexico, and a hundred other countries. AT&T will start offering the service on October 12.

I'm not surprised Boost is terrible considering its on Sprint's Nextel network which is a walking fiasco anyway. My brother has Metropcs which seems to pretty good in the LA area but you have to stay in your calling area to make calls or its extra and there are plenty of places where it doesn't work. If it wasn't for those problems I would sign with them in a heartbeat. The good thing though is that if AT&T is getting into the fray and of course offering unlimited texts around the world then someone else will meet or beat that eventually and the right company to be with will emerge. So the only thing I can thank AT&T for is mixing it up a little and mark my word. Phone calls will be free one day soon.

THIS WILL ONLY TAKE OFF IF they allow iphone to be used as aprepaid phone. but then.60+30 =90+tax.regular(39+30+5+ tax=83)the main weakness of Metro pcs is lack of A real phone( as of now i concinder all their phones as prototypes or instances. . so if att and does not allow "real phones" to be used as go phones then ,else, no so go.

what you just said makes no sense. why would at&t have to do that? this would make everyone switch to a prepaid which has no bill, customer service is horrible, no records of calls, text, etc. no upgrade privilages... on and on... at&t would never do that.
