AT&T Named World's Best Wireless Service Provider for Second Consecutive Year by Business Traveler Magazine
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) announced that it was selected as the Best Wireless Provider in the World for the second year in a row in the 2008 Best in Business Travel Awards, conducted by Business Traveler magazine. Now in its 20th year, the annual survey gives readers the chance to voice their opinion on the companies that have made their business travels more enjoyable. AT&T offers the best global coverage of any wireless carrier and the most world phones among U.S. wireless providers.
"Being chosen as the Best Wireless Provider in the World by Business Traveler readers for a second year in a row is truly an honor," said Bill Hague, executive vice president of International for AT&T. "We work hard to help keep AT&T customers connected around the world. For years we have offered more world phones than any other U.S. carrier and service in more places around the globe than any carrier worldwide."
AT&T operates a GSM/HSPA network, the worldwide standard for wireless, making it easy for customers to stay in touch with family, friends and business colleagues while abroad — all on the same wireless number and device they use at home. AT&T offers more than 40 world devices, including iPhone3G and the BlackBerry® Bold™. AT&T customers can take these devices around the world, including Japan and South Korea, which require a device that operates on 2100 MHz.
