All... Look out baby bells, it's almost time to toss out those wired phones at home - two cent calls are here. AirTouch Cellular Launches 2 Cents and 7 Cents a Minute Digital Calling Plans SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 1998--There's no such thing as penny candy and a quarter won't buy you a call on a pay phone. But for 2 or 7 cents a minute customers now can make a phone call on AirTouch's sophisticated and reliable digital network. Just in time for the busy holiday season, AirTouch is launching an irresistible offer to make digital calling affordable for holiday shoppers. For budget-conscious personal users, AirTouch offers 1,000 off-peak digital minutes (nights and weekends) for $19.95. For those callers who want a balance of weekday/weekend minutes, there's the $39.95 digital calling plan that includes 600 digital minutes - half peak and half off-peak. A one-year service agreement is required. ''Everyone is cost-conscious this time of year and AirTouch wants to offer the best value to all those people considering the purchase of wireless phone service,'' said Brian Shay, executive vice president and general manager for AirTouch's Western Region. ''What more dramatic way to demonstrate this than by shattering the dime barrier.'' These offers are available in the following AirTouch markets: Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah and Washington. AirTouch Communications, based in San Francisco, is the largest wireless company in the world, serving 35 million total global customers. AirTouch has U.S. cellular operations in 19 states, including 15 of the top 30 U.S. markets: Los Angeles; San Francisco; San Diego; Atlanta; Detroit; Cleveland; San Jose and Sacramento, California; Cincinnati; Kansas City; Seattle; Portland, Oregon; Denver; Phoenix and Minneapolis.
