As we all know AT&T has given 20% off as a accessory coupon to say thank you to their iPhone users who are with them.

And now AT&T is providing free 1000 rollover minutes.Screen shot for the same is as below.

If you haven’t received the text just type “yes” and send to the 11113020 number and as a acknowledgment you will receive a text which says your account has been credited!

not to be the naysayer here but can anyone actually confirm this is from ATT and some sort of scam to collect valid cell numbers so they can spam you with marketing crap later?
 
Who knows what you just agreed to. I don't see any official AT&T correspondence here.
 
so if it is true it is 1000 worthless minutes and 99% of us will never use. In 7 years with Cingular/AT&T I want to see roll minutes have been used maybe 3-4 times during all of it.
 
I got a text offering 1000 free minutes a while ago. I never replied though. How can you confirm it's from AT&T? Plus I had more rollover minutes than I would ever use already so forgot about it.
 
seems to me that if att's intent is to show appreciation there is no reason to go through the trouble of making people confirm anything. why not just give it to everyone and then and send an e-mail or text notifying customers of the free minutes?
 
what a g.

i'm very glad verizon has iphone. it's not even good on vzn, but hey, at&t feels pressure to make us all happier :)
 
You know by accepting those free minutes you accepted the terms for a new 2 year contract right?











:p
 
Been with AT&T for 9 years (AT&T Wireless -> Cingular -> AT&T), account has always been in good standing and have a family plan with 3 lines, 2 of which are iPhone 4's and 1 iPhone 3G.

Not that any of the offers would change anything for me but I wonder why I have not received any of these offers that I a keep reading about everyday!?

No Microcell.
No 20% off accessories.
No free 1000 rollover minutes.

Could it be because the 2 lines with iPhone 4's are locked in with them for another year and a half?
 
Is it free to text yes to that number, or do they charge you?

I think it is free. I know that they do not charge you for texts that they send you and I assume it would be the same when they give you an option to respond to a text that they send you.
 
I just did this also. Hope it's plain and simple and there wasn't any fine print included. After 4 weeks I hope I don't see a notice saying my contract has been extended since you said "Yes" to 1000 rollover minutes.
 
protip I saw on twitter: remember to text STOP to the number right after you've collected your 1000 minutes.
