AT&T today announced new voice plans for unlimited U.S. calling on all devices with no domestic roaming or long distance charges, available for $99.99 a month.

Existing customers can choose unlimited calling without extending their contract. New customers have the option of a month-to-month, 12 or 24 month contract.

"We are pleased to offer our customers these great new plans that deliver value and simplified pricing," said Ralph de la Vega, president & CEO, AT&T Mobility. "This is a highly competitive market and we're committed to moving fast to meet customer needs."

Verizon Wireless set off a stampede to unlimited voice plans among U.S. mobile operators on Tuesday. AT&T joins Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile to recently announce unlimited plans. Sprint hasn't offered any indication of following suit.

In an effort to strengthen its hold to high end users, Verizon Wireless has rolled out unlimited voice and data plans known as Nationwide Unlimited Anytime Minute Plans. Thanks to Saunderslog.com, the tiers are simplified into the following:

$99.99: Unlimited talk
$119.99: Unlimited talk + SMS/MMS
$129.99: Unlimited talk + email
$139.99: Unlimited talk + SMS/MMS + HTML browsing
$149.99: Unlimited talk + global email
$149.99: Unlimited talk + SMS/MMS + HTML browsing + email
$169.99: Unlimited talk + SMS/MMS + HTML browsing + global email

More than the reduction on monthly payment plans, this move could set off a cutthroat price war which will hurt some operators but will make millions of mobile users very happy. A good start for 2008, don't you think?

But Verizon Wireless CEO Jack Plating quickly dismissed the idea of price war since this is targeted for "high value" customers or those who pay at least $100 a month. Unfortunately, the company has no intention of revising its "bucket" system for other customer segment.
