BellSouth Launches New $99 Triple ChoiceSM Bundle in South Florida


Residential customers in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach can now bundle local, long distance, high-speed Internet and their choice of DIRECTV(R) service or Cingular(R) Wireless for a new low price

ATLANTA, Nov. 30 // -- BellSouth (NYSE:BLS) announced today the availability of a new, low-priced BellSouth Answers(R) bundle in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. This Triple Choice bundle, at $99 per month, includes local and long distance with our most popular calling features, FastAccess(R) DSL for lightning-fast downloads, and the choice of DIRECTV(R) with over 155 digital-quality channels or Cingular(R) Wireless. An advertising campaign, including TV, radio and print, will support this new BellSouth Answers bundle.

"This new bundle is a testament to BellSouth's commitment to providing customers with a choice of reliable communications and entertainment services, and overall increased savings," said Marshall Criser III, BellSouth Florida state president. "The Triple Choice bundle is unique in that customers can choose to add either DIRECTV(R) service or Cingular(R) Wireless service to their bundle, receiving three great services for one low price. Also, unlike offerings by most cable providers, BellSouth can package wireless services from Cingular Wireless, the largest wireless company in the United States."

The advertising campaign will promote BellSouth's new $99 Triple Choice bundle and increase subscriber growth for the company's popular BellSouth Answers(R) bundles.

For example, the TV ad, "Chain: One-two-three," opens with a shot of a BellSouth call center employee engaged in a conversation with a customer. As the conversation continues, the camera travels down the row of cubicles to listen in on call center employees taking calls. Viewers will catch snippets of dialogue from each of the conversations, each related to the features and benefits of the new $99 bundle.
