AT&T sweetens the iPhone pot with extra minutes
Yes please!

AT&T is not just getting aggressive with ads to tout theiPhone on its network versus Verizon’s, it’s giving away minutes as well.
Many current AT&T iPhone users have received text messages from their carrier this day thanking them for being loyal customers, and while the text doesn’t state so, we are sure it’s also a thanks for not switching during Verizon’s underwhelming iPhone launch this week.
The text comes with instructions to reply with “yes” to receive 1,000 extra rollover minutes. AT&T tells us these will be applied to each iPhone on the account.
The texts are coming from the number 11113020, and when a user replies with the “yes,” another text is received saying that the minutes will be applied in the coming weeks.
With our testing, we found that iPhone users can simply text “yes” to the SMS number and get the deal, though we can’t state yet if it applies to all iPhone customers or just those with contracts expiring soon.
So, iPhone-using Crave readers, why not give it a try and tell us back here if it worked for you? Really, it could not hurt.
