AT&T has launched a new plan which offers a netbook for just $50 with a two-year contract for wired and wireless — but it's only available in Atlanta and Philadelphia.
AT&T is trying to lure in customers with the offer of a netbook for just $50 when users signed a contract for two years of service, covering both DSL at home and wireless 3G. The plans begin at $60 a month – but for now the offer is only available in Atlanta and Philadelphia. Those signing up will also have access to AT&T’s Wi-Fi network, which covers thousands of hotspots.
In a statement, David Christopher, chief marketing officer for mobility and consumer markets at AT&T said:
"Pairing mini-laptops with AT&T’s home, Wi-Fi, and mobile broadband offerings enables consumers to get the most from their new devices, virtually anywhere, anytime."
The company has a range of netbooks on offer, with promotional prices ranging from $50 to $250, and a free 30-minute instructional session at the AT&T store as part of the deal.
