At least in my area - it appears they are selling AT&T Wireless phones (based on the model numbers and plan amounts). I used to work for them, and they are a pretty good company. The phones they are giving away are a little bit older, are they refurbished?

The activation fee is $10 more than with AT&T Direct - and I guess this is how they are able to pay those pretty good commissions

I was able to get most people approved with AT&T, but of course you will get people who fill out fake info, etc, much more than you would at a store.

The 1250 minutes is only 250 peak - the other plans seem much better.

I also note that you refer to peak time as being from 7am to 9pm. AT&T Changed this sometime ago to 7am to 8pm.

Also, you refer to free long distance being available. That was AT&T's promotion last month (in my area - promotions differ from place to place) - it is over now - are you sure you are still able to offer this?

One of the great things about AT&T and people with bad credit - is that I was still able to get them a Cell Phone if they had a credit card. AT&T Calls it SLM or Service Limit Monitoring. It is NOT a deposit, but what happens is AT&T will charge their card every month for their bill amount or $200 - what ever comes first. In most cases, people will never hit the $200 - so they get charged every month for their bill amount.

Since they use different carriers, I am not sure you could market it as such - but that option appeared for me when doing a pretend check out on their system.
