AT&T today announced that starting March 22nd it will offer 30GB, 40GB, and 50GB shared data plans.
The new plans are ideal for businesses, as well as consumers who need more data, and build on AT&T’s existing Mobile Share plans with expanded options of 30 GB, 40 GB and 50 GB, including unlimited calls and texts. In addition, AT&T is offering new Mobile Share – Data plans for businesses and consumers and new Business Pooled Nation for Data plans for business customers.
Mobile Share: With AT&T Mobile Share plans, customers start by choosing the amount of data they want each month, and then select the devices to be included in their shared plan (at least one device must be a smartphone). Each plan includes unlimited domestic talk and texts for smartphones and quick messaging phones, and each plan includes tethering. Existing Mobile Share plans offer from 1 GB to 20 GB of data per month.
The new larger Mobile Share data plans include:
In addition, more devices can be added to each of these plans, including: ● Basic and quick messaging phones – $30 per month per device ● Laptops, LaptopConnect cards, and netbooks – $20 per month per device ● Tablets and gaming devices – $10 per month per device
Businesses can add up to 10 devices for plans up to 20 GB; 15 devices for 30 GB plans; 20 devices for 40 GB plans; and 25 devices for 50 GB plans. Consumers can add up to 10 devices per plan.
Mobile Share – Data: Also, effective March 22, Mobile Share – Data plans (i.e., no talk and text) are available for businesses and consumers with shared data buckets ranging from 4 GB to 50 GB and prices ranging from $30 to $335 per month. Mobile Share – Data plans are only available for tablets, laptops and other connected devices.
Business Pooled Nation for Data: In addition, businesses who need data sharing for more than 25 devices can choose from new AT&T Business Pooled Nation for Data plans, with buckets ranging from 300 MB to 10 GB and monthly prices from $20 to $80 for eligible devices.
Everything is going towards streaming video, which uses tons of data! How AT$T and Verizon are getting away with charging these obscene rates for Data that costs them hardly anything to provide, is ridiculous! There must be regulation!
If you think that at these prices only the very Rich will be able to afford to use the Internet call your congress person vote Democrat (not perfect but way better then Republicans!)
I know Clear is not the best in the world but I am using Clear Voyager on the go with me so that I'm not using my LTE data with AT&T if don't have to. I am paying $34.99 with their unlimited basic and its been reliable for my application. I can still stream Netflix and YouTube with it without much lagging. And constantly listening to Pandora all day with it. Wow AT&T that's just outrageous prices.
That's the reason I won't switch off iphone. If I do I lose that unlimited plan and I won't let that happen.
Increase in bandwidth, speed, data size along with a decrease in data allowed are two reversing trends that need to stop. (well at least one does)
Actually you won't lose it.. I work for at&t, the only time you'll lose that plan is if you choose to change your plan. You can switch from iPhone to blackberry to android and your unlimited will go with each device
Think of it this way, for a large business they can get unlimited talk, unlimited text, and 2gb of data for $50 per line for 25 lines.... You can't even get prepaid at the price
