AT&T GoPhone is the brand name of prepaid mobile phone service from AT&T Mobility, a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T Inc. The GoPhone name and product was originally conceived and implemented by McCaw Cellular by its founder Craig McCaw and first used in commerce in 1987 by his company. It was later bought by AT&T in 1995 and used by the pre-2004 "AT&T Wireless" after Cingular's purchase of AT&T Wireless in 2004 for $41 billion.〔Rohde, Laura, ("Cingular Buys AT&T Wireless" ), ''PC World'', IDG News Service, Feb 17, 2004〕 At that time, Cingular was jointly owned by SBC Communications (Southwestern Bell Corporation) of San Antonio, Texas, which owned 60 percent, and BellSouth of Atlanta, Georgia.〔 The original GoPhone service was discontinued and Cingular renamed its prepaid services under GoPhone. The GoPhone brand name is still in use even after "Cingular" renamed itself "AT&T Mobility". ==Pick Your Plan== ''Pick Your Plan'' was a monthly plan with no credit required because it was paid directly every month with a credit card or checking account. Customers were required to sign up on automatic payments every month using their credit/debit card or check. Plans were available with the option to add messaging and data plans.〔(AT&T GoPhone website )〕 The ''Pick Your Plan'' service option was discontinued and new ''Pick Your Plan'' service can no longer be activated, but existing ''Pick Your Plan'' service accounts are still being supported. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「AT&T GoPhone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
