Just a heads-up, I was told this morning on the phone by SBC CSR, today, June 30, 2005 is the LAST DAY TO GET THE $14.95/mo w/ 1 yr contract re-rate. Tomorrow, July 1, 2005, they have a new plan coming out. She said she couldn't tell me what it was, but that the current $14.95/mo deal is better! Also, if you call today, you MUST say "I will disconnect if I do not get the re-rated plan." She said, "I'm sorry to be mean, but we were all recently trained to ask: "will you disconnect if you don't get the re-rate?"" and only give you the re-rate if you say yes. GOOD LUCK.
