I just got a couple of AT&T's Reach Out offers in the mail, for two of
my home phone lines (individually billed).

This offer is the one that says (paraphrasing) "We aren't sending this
offer to just anyone.  We're sending it to you because we've analyzed
your phone bill and you can save money by buying Reach Out, etc."

One of the lines is used only for local calls (mostly data) and has
not had more than one or two long distance calls in a year.  I'd sure
like to know how Reach Out is gonna save me money with a monthly fee
and no usage.  Unfortunately there's no phone number to call and ask
them to put their analysis in writing.
