packages," says Judy Cavalieri, vice president, AT&T's wireless unit.
"Subscribers can add packages to their account at any time, giving
customers the flexibility to buy what they need when they need it."
Any unused units will roll over and extend to a new expiration date if

weeknights and from 9 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. Monday on weekends. The

will be deducted from the customer's Pay As You Go account at the time of

of wireless mobility on AT&T's wireless network with no annual contract or
credit check and an unlimited talk option to more than 62 million AT&T
