DALLAS, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* customers have more options for affordable, no-commitment home phone service with a new, prepaid option for AT&T Wireless Home Phone, beginning March 22.

AT&T Wireless Home Phone allows customers to complete calls from their existing home phone handset using the AT&T wireless network instead of a landline connection. Customers can keep their existing home phone number and handsets, and Wireless Home Phone is portable so you can take your home phone with you to other locations in the United States.

New, prepaid options for Wireless Home Phone, available beginning March 22, include:

• $20 per month for unlimited, nationwide calling.
• $15 per month for 1,000 minutes of international long-distance, including wireless and landline numbers in Mexico and calling to over 50 other countries such as Canada, China and India.
• One-time cost of $99.99 for the Wireless Home Phone device.
• Voicemail, caller ID and call waiting are all included at no additional cost

"Since we launched and expanded the availability of Wireless Home Phone last year, we've seen a very positive response from customers looking to save money and get more flexibility on their home phone service," said Judy Cavalieri, AT&T Mobility vice president of voice and prepaid products. "By offering more choices for Wireless Home Phone, we're adding even more value to the customer experience, combining all the advantages of our wireless network with the convenience of home phone service and international calling, at an attractive price."
