Beginning Sunday, September 20 ATT will launch a new “no charge bolt-on” feature called A-List with Rollover. AT&T customers can enjoy unlimited mobile calling to and from “VIP” domestic phone numbers at no additional cost.
Customers with individual Nation plans of $59.99 or higher can use A-List to select up to five domestic phone numbers to call anytime. This includes landlines and wireless numbers on any network - without using any of the minutes in their plan.
FamilyTalk customers with plans of $89.99 or more can select up to 10 numbers which any person in the FamilyTalk plan can call as much as they want.
lol Copycat? Everyone copied Sprint retentions offer. And yes, Sprint had pick 5 and pick 3 before alltel or ttmobile, it was just a loyalty perk.

actually pre-merger ATT had this feature in its family TDMA plans in 1998-2001. so who is copying whom?

a little more info as it trickles out.
this is not auto-provisioned (you gotta call and ask for it)
it is not clear at this time if it renews your contract (I have not seen anything that implies it does or does not)
it is customer maintained. from the website. customer care can only view . no access to change or edit.at **any** level
the qualifying rate plans (59.99 single line or 89.99 ft plans and up) are non negotiable. meaning a supervisor or save team CANNOT add this feature to a lower price point.
Excluded numbers:
900 numbers.
Directory Assistance numbers.
Voicemail pilot numbers.
Customer’s own mobile number.
Mobile numbers of any subscribers on the FamilyTalk group.
Numbers identified as fraud.
as more is released and/or amended I'll keep you posted

It's not being a copy cat, it's called remaining competitive with your offers.
and now Sprint blows calling circles away. (btw sprints mobile2home came first i think) Sprint now has free mobile2mobile, meaning all networks. So now any mobile phone a Sprint user calls, is free of charge. hows that for competitive.
