MyRatePlan.com Launches First Online Wireless "Family Plans" Advisor
Dynamic MyRatePlan Software Helps Families Trying to Choose Among Popular, but Complex Calling Plans
NEW YORK, NY - October 19, 2000-- Families looking to
stay connected this holiday season may now have a few
extra dollars for gifts instead of cell phone bills.
Just in time for the busy holiday season, MyRatePlan.com,
a leading online resource for the unbiased evaluation of
a variety of household services, launches the Internet's
first Family Plans Calculator. For the first time,
consumers will be able to objectively locate the right
calling plan for their family, based exclusively on the
unique way in which they will use the phones to call each
other and those outside the family.
Unlike standard calling plans, which generally give the
user a bucket of minutes for a fixed monthly fee, these
family (or shared) minute plans come in a variety of
forms. Generally, however, they allow from 2 to 5
individuals to share the bucket of minutes and/or call
each other at no additional cost. This can be quite
economical, and therefore these plans have proven very
popular with families looking to share the convenience
and security of multiple wireless phones without breaking
their household budget.
MyRatePlan is reviewing the family plans of four
national carriers in this release: AT&T Wireless,
Sprint, VoiceStream and Verizon (GTE). Consumers who
visit http://www.myrateplan.com,
and who select "Family Plans" from within the Site's
wireless section, will be taken through a short usage
questionnaire. From this page, they are then provided
with a customized, unbiased evaluation of the best options
available from each of these carriers in their city,
including an estimate of their monthly charges for
local and family usage.
