Wireless Customers Get Unlimited Calling in December

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For many Americans, the holiday season is a time to reconnect with family and friends, which means long airport lines, gas-guzzling road trips and an excessive amount of wireless phone minutes. According to a recent survey by EMBARQ, 31 percent of respondents call their distant relatives the most during the holidays and if their calling plan wasn't limited, 59 percent would reach out and wish a long-lost friend happy holidays.

EMBARQ may be green but there is no Grinch in sight. This year EMBARQ is giving its current and new wireless customers the gift of unlimited domestic voice wireless minutes to help them connect with friends and family all December long; that's more than 44,600 minutes at no extra charge.

"We are giving all of our wireless customers the gift of unlimited minutes this holiday season to show our appreciation for their business," said Harry Campbell, EMBARQ president of Consumer Markets. "People have enough to think about during the holidays. Wireless minutes shouldn't be one of them."
