AT&T Data Plan Changes
As mentioned previously, smartphones are becoming more and more mainstream. It what seems like a move to make that even more the case, AT&T has announced lower prices for monthly data plans for the devices. Instead of a $30 unlimited data plan, they will now be offering 200MB for $15/mo and 2GB for $25/mo. Above that, customers will have to pay $10/GB.
There are different thoughts about this. CNET announces that “AT&T’s new pricing takes smartphones to the masses.” However The Salt Lake Tribune says “For new AT&T users, no more ‘all you can eat’ data.”
As a side note, I am a Verizon customer. However, I like the fact that AT&T is offering these lower-priced options. I wish they would keep the unlimited data plan, as well. There are quite a few folks that would like to be able to have that option. I personally do not see it as lowering their prices so much as trying to make money on overage charges.
What do you think about the change to plans? Do you like it or hate it?
