[Electronics-Talk] Changes to AIRA 5-minute offer

[Tom Evans]

Free of course doesn’t keep them alive and important to pay for what I think is a complete game changer. I’m doing this from memory as the plan change today. Free five minutes every 24 hours or If you have a plan then free five minutes every four hours and then with the plans you basically get a little less and dollar cost or a few extra minutes. And the minutes do not roll over at the end of the month. $20 for 30 minutes, $100 for 140 minutes or $200 for 300 minutes. If you run out then the bundles do roll over. $30 for 25 minutes or $50 for 50 minutes or $90 for 100 minutes. Again doing this from memory and if wrong please correct.
