Embarq kicks off unlimited wired-wireless calling with Vegas cellphone wedding

Lifetime commitment, or just another quickie celebrity Vegas wedding sure to be annulled?
Embarq Corp. announced the nuptials of two telephones at The Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas: one representing Embarq’s wireless service and the other Embarq’s home landline service. The ceremony was performed by Bob Eubanks, host of “The Newlywed Game” TV show, and witnessed by “well-wishers” and Embarq employees. The company said it planned to post video of the service on its Web site, though, unfortunately, the video is not up yet.
The “wedding” kicked off a new service plan offering to Embarq customers in 18 states. The Embarq Together plan offers unlimited local and national long-distance on the customer’s home phone; 350 wireless anytime minutes and unlimited calling between the wireless and home phones. The service offers an integrated voicemail box, a combined bill and single customer service phone number. Customers can get the plan for less than $74.90 per month excluding taxes and fees, or can have 700 anytime wireless minutes for an additional $10 per month.
Embarq joins heavyweights AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. in offering wired-wireless calling plans.
According to the Chapel’s Web site, other celebrities who have utilized its services include Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar; Patty Duke as she married her first and third husbands; Slash from Guns’n’Roses and of course, Britney Spears. The Chapel said that Valentines’ Day is the most popular date for weddings.
