For those of you who are unaware, AT&T is now offering a free feature for certain wireless plan called A-List. Basically log onto you account online to set it up and you can get unlimited calling to any 5 numbers if you are on an individual plan or 10 if you are on a Family Plan.
Got a tip for us?

I see the same thing. Maybe we don't have qualifying rate plans? I think you have to have the following plans (found on the AT&T forums):
Familytalk plans 1400+ minutes 89.99$ or over
or
Individual plans 900+ mimutes 59.99$ or over
You could also try checking that it is enabled in the features tab or your account.
Well, I have an older very cheap plan that doesn't even exist anymore (550 minutes for $38) so I'm not going to change that just to get some free calls. Oh well.
So stupid that you need a qualifying plan to get this.
Ah, well, most people I call are on at&t so it doesn't matter to me.

For anyone having problems setting it up I just called ATT. You need to go under your account online, go to features add A-List. Then go to the my profile tab and Manage A-List and it should be working.
Again you need to add a-list on the features option and then go to my profile and add the #s on the a list
did that first, still didnt see anything, i dont see where to enable the feature.
I would be pretty mad about needing the higher plan, but I remembered I have almost 3000 rollover minutes... Haha, oh well.
LOL
I have 3111 roll over minutes. I don't think I need this service. I could stay on the phone for several days and not use them all up.
I have over 16,000 rollover minutes, plus everyone I know is on AT&T so it doesn't even matter anyways.
People making a big deal over this either having it or not having it. For most people it is completely worthless.
It is worthless big time when you look at huge banks of roll over minutes so it not like it would do anything but add to it. Between NW and M2M I was using 1000+ min there and on a heavy use month 50 mins in anytime out of 450 min plan. I had 4k of roll over minutes built up.
remember most people in those high plans where not bumping the limits any how.

A-List is up!!!
Works fine, but requires that you have the more expensive plans. It would be worth $ to someone with a lower priced plan, but it is not offered. For me, I have excess minutes most months so this will only add to the rollover bank. So, it is no wonder they don't charge for this.
Any word on Micro Cell? I get spotty reception at my home and keep Skype as a backup, would love to get rid of Skype.

ya, no wonder its free...people who will really benefit from this, are the people with the lower plans...people who have that high of a plan, normally have sooo many rollover mins, they wont notice a difference imo.
Smart ATT, putting this plan will at least let them say "we match all the other networks with 5 friends, like tmobile or Alltell". However, its not really much difference for the people they allowing to use it.
I hate ATT, i really do...

+1 to the OP. Thank you for posting this. You did so in order to benefit the community, so that's very cool.
Even though I have a 1400 minute plan, I have 3 iPhones eating at it. By going through my bill line by line, and adding the big talkers to the A-List, if the past is any indication of the future, I stand to save up to $40 per month.
Why, that's $40 I don't have to give to AT&T! I could be giving that to the iTunes store! Oh, that's *so* much better... on second thought, that's about a case of Cooper's Sparkling Ale every month. Now that *is* better!!

For people with Family Plans, is it 10 numbers for each line, or for the whole family?
EDIT: I just checked, it's not under features.

Like I said before
if AT&T would allow us to sell or transfer our rollover minutes this would make me so much happier. I am not a big cell phone talker most months I have 150-200 minutes unused each month. I love to be able to cell those unused minutes. that would be

You have to add the $0.00 feature to any line in your FamilyTalk rate plan. Note as mentioned above, you have to have the FamilyTalk 1400 or higer rate plan.
Yes, a shared list of 10 A-list numbers shared between the FamilyTalk Group.

Another melted scoop from the giant bucket of att Fail. Just when I was thinking I was going to be happy with them again (A-List, Femtocell).
At least I have those 2,700 rollover minutes to keep me in the black.
I have the 700 min plan, and I need the 1400 min plan. It's the same as Verizons version of this.
