AT&T is giving at least some iPhone subscribers a bonus 1,000 rollover voice minutes, accounts say. The offer is available only through a SMS notification, to which people need to send a text reply of “yes” to by March 31st. Subscribers who haven’t received the initial text may still be able to send “yes” to 11113020 and get notice their account has been credited.
The bonus is believed to be just one of many tactics AT&T is using to deter people from switching to the Verizon iPhone, which officially launched just yesterday.
