Worth a look if AT & T is your provider.

[lonestarnot]

In a key vote Monday morning, just nine senators joined Sen. Christopher Dodd to stand up against President George Bush and his cronies at AT&T© and Verizon©.

At stake was a bill to grant blanket immunity for phone companies that aided the Bush administration plot to illegally eavesdrop on Americans.

But then something unlikely happened. By evening, a groundswell of public pressure from citizens like you and me moved Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to pull the bill from the floor.

AT&T and Verizon are now preparing for the next battle over telecom immunity, and so are we.

If telecom immunity is passed by the Senate, we may never know how much Verizon and AT&T helped the National Security Agency listen in on Americans' phone calls — or how much they're helping now.

What can you do? If you have a cellphone from Verizon or AT&T, you can keep on sending them your money and supporting them — and Bush — in their cover-up.

Or you can join CREDO Mobile — which is fighting to expose the administration's illegal spying program and bring all those responsible to justice — including Bush himself. CREDO Mobile is brought to you by your friends at Working Assets. It's the same great wireless service we've offered for years, with a new name to reflect our commitment to causes we believe in.

How different are we? Take a look below. What you see may disturb you. For a remedy make the switch now to CREDO Mobile.

What they do?
CREDO Mobile AT&T Verizon
…To spy on you: We don't. Actually, we donate to the ACLU to STOP wiretapping Cooperate with the Bush administration's warrantless spying on American citizens
…With the money you pay them: Donates over $50 million to service- oriented and progressive nonprofits — including the ACLU Contributes more money to political campaigns than almost any other company — mostly to Republicans Spends $90 million on lobbying — more than Phillip Morris or Exxon

2. That is kind of funny

Instead of Democrats and Republicans, it will be Blue Corporations and Steal-you-blind corporations.

3. I'm not willing to sign a TWO YEAR contract with ANYONE

Oh Joy -- they pledge not to spy on me! But they WILL force me to sign a lengthy contract, that probably has the same sort of charges IF I want to be released from it early. I haven't looked at the rates, but I suspect they will be in line with all the others, or perhaps even more - because they are a *blue* corporation!

No Disrespect to the OP. I realize this was posted to aid some of us stuck with AT&T. But donning a *blue* marketing plan and offering *gasp* FREE solar chargers (I can see the marketing nerds wetting themselves thinking about all those dopey libs jumping on this offer, just for that gizmo) doesn't mean they are doing ANYONE any favours. In fact, it's just another predatory offer under the guise of making *us* (the consumers) *safe*.

Get back to me Credo when you offer the freebies with NO contracts. And low rates. Until then - sod off. :grr:

4. i have had a working assets visa for years.

my only objection to them is that bank of america is now the cc bank. i don't like bank of america. otherwise, i have not yet changed from at&t because i haven't found better coverage or a cell company covering my area that's innocent.

5. I will be looking into this in June when my current contract is up

with Verizon. People are afraid of the contract part and I can understand that I guess. But I signed a two-year when I got the plan I have now, and I don't use a land line so no biggie for me. The rates are slightly less then I have with Verizon. I wish their phone selection was a little more robust, but I don't use my phone for much other than talking anyway. They are on the Sprint Digital Network so the coverage should be good. They might want to consider making the nights and weekends thing start earlier as some of their competitors have. They've got a similar family plan to the one that I'm currently on. This seems like a win-win for me, but I don't see they have any local outlet stores. I like dealing directly with a person when I get a cell phone plan.
