SBC and Cingular Customers save 10% on Cell Bill

[Norman Smiley]

If you use SBC for your local phone service and use Cingular for your cell service, you can save 10% on your Cingular bill by having the two bills bundled together. It's good on cell plans $29.99 and above.

Apparently, the only difference is that you get the exact same bill printed on the SBC paper instead of the Cingular paper. And you won't be able to charge it on your credit card anymore.

In the SF Bay Area, I called 800-310-BELL (the number from my bill) to order it.

<edit>Yes, it does work for new and existing customers.</edit>

And please, no my mobile phone carrier is better than yours thread crapping in this tread.

does it for for existing customers? the page you linked is talking about signing up for new contracts

Can't beat this. Simplify your life with a single bill, and they pay you to do it... Only bummer is that you can't do it if you're an employee (as in the case of yours truly). It goes through a separate system that won't allow you to combine them.

Edited first post to reflect that it does work for new and existing customers.

now I wonder if this will violate my contract with a local cellphone retailer for "not changing plan detail"....it would result a 250 dollars fee

anyone from LA area? i signed my contract with one of the local chinese cell phone retailer ;p

This sounds good, I'm going to try to upgrade my plan and transfer it with my home bill.

I wonder why Bellsouth doesn't do this... they're half owner of Cingular too.

I looked into this in the past and found that only some Cell rate plans qualify (ie home plans not national plans).
