AT&T Makes it Easy to Call Mom ... No Matter Where She is

Your AT&T Mobile Phone is Your Passport for Staying Connected This Mother's Day

In the United States, and in more than 60 other countries, Mother�s Day will be celebrated Sunday, May 10. AT&T* today reported that international wireless calling volume on Mother�s Day 2008 rose by approximately 26 percent. This year, AT&T expects many customers will again use their wireless phones to speak words of love and gratitude to moms around the world.

�Mother�s Day is one of the most popular holidays for international wireless calls,� said Dave Albright, assistant vice president-Product Marketing Management, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. �This year in particular, we expect to see even more customers use their wireless phone to call or send text messages to mom.�

AT&T makes it convenient and affordable for customers to stay connected to mom in the U.S. and around the world. For AT&T customers who have moms in other countries, AT&T World Connect for $3.99 per month is a great way to dial internationally from the U.S. to over 220 countries at discounted rates...directly from their wireless phone. (Rates to a landline are as low as $.08 per minute to the UK and $0.09 per minute to countries like Mexico, Germany, Japan, France, Israel and more).

Mexico continues to be one the most frequently called and traveled to countries for AT&T customers. The AT&T� Mexicosm plan for $4.99 per month offers great discounted rates whether you call or travel to Mexico. With the plan, wireless customers who place calls from the U.S. to Mexico pay $0.09 per minute to a landline number or $0.25 per minute to a wireless device. Discounted rates on calls while traveling in Mexico are only $0.59 per minute.

Dialing internationally from your AT&T internationally enabled mobile device is easy; simply dial the �+� sign (or 011), then the country code and local number. The �+� sign will appear on most phones if you press and hold the �0� key.
