AT&T continues to sweeten the deal for those who stayed with the oft-criticized carrier, rather than bolting for Verizon and the Verizon iPhone (or any other Verizon device). It’s latest bonus: 1,000 bonus rollover minutes if you text “yes” to a certain number.

To get the bonus minutes, you just have to text “yes” to 11113020. Reportedly, AT&T iPhone owners are getting a text message sent to them telling them about the bonus minutes program. It seems that those without iPhones aren’t getting the SMS, but they can still participate.

Egypt’s Vice President Omar Suleiman announced Friday that Hosni Mubarak is stepping down from his 30-year reign as president. This announcement runs contrary to Mubarak’s televised speech Thursday night stating that he would remain in office until his term ended in September.

“Because of the current circumstances in the country the president, Hosni Mubarak, has decided to step down, and the higher command of the army is taking control of the country,” said Suleiman. An unconfirmed report has stated that Mubarak left Cairo and is currently residing at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
The immediate reaction after Mubarak’s speech explaining his plan to stay president was not positive. USA Today reported that some of the protestors in Tahrir Square made their way towards the state TV building and the palace.
