Is this illegal?

[fishtacos.]

I just signed up with AT&T. I want to ask my friends if they are on AT&T, so I know who I can call for free (mobile to mobile). I am sure AT&T wouldn't like that, but can they prevent me from finding / saving such information? Is this illegal?

Nope. Not illegal. I have an app that I can find out if they are on AT&T, and it was provided by iTunes, the iPhone App store.


Good Luck,

Jeff

Great! I have an iPhone too, which app is that?

I looked and looked, but I can't find it. I saw it when browsing through apps a little while ago. Maybe do a google search...something to the effect of att number lookup or something.

Why would asking your friends what provider they use be illegal?

That's what I was wondering!!

You can use these websites from your computer to check which carrier issued the number or currently is providing service on it:
SearchBug - Landline or Cellular Phone Number?

There is also something on the AT&T site that you can put in their number and it will tell you if they are mobil to mobile. (read FREE)

That would be really funny if it was Illegal. :evil:

There is no way such a law would be passed. A wireless company's rules do not have the force of law. If a carrier did not want you to make mobile to mobile calls knowingly, they would not offer a special discount for those type of calls.
