AT&T Offers Collect Calls to Wireless Customers in the U.S.
AT&T* announced that customers can now make collect calls to mobile phones by dialing 1-800-CALL-ATT® (1-800-225-5288), to access a new service called AT&T Collect to Wireless. AT&T is the first major telecommunications provider to expand its collect calling services to reach wireless customers in the U.S.
This opportunity is provided through a strategic relationship with 3Cinteractive's Text Collect™ service. AT&T Collect to Wireless is part of the 1-800-CALL-ATT® product suite, which provides customers access to the AT&T network for all alternatively-billed calls, including calling card, credit card and collect calls.
"We are thrilled to offer wireless subscribers the opportunity to receive collect calls," said Susan A. Johnson, AT&T senior vice president of Customer Information Services for AT&T Operations, Inc. "We hope that this affordable service offers consumers peace of mind and the ability to connect with their loved ones, wherever they are."
"The ability to complete calls to mobile phones has been a major challenge for the collect calling industry, and we are very excited to work with AT&T, the company that created the very concept of collect calling," 3Cinteractive CEO John Duffy said.
AT&T Collect to Wireless will be offered to those who dial 1-800-Call-ATT®. After choosing the AT&T Collect to Wireless prompt, the caller enters the 10 digit mobile phone number and then speaks his or her name. The two parties can then talk for up to 20 minutes for $9.99. Wireless customers will have the ability to opt out from receiving collect calls. This service is not available from coin phones at this time.
