AT&T Introduces New Data Plans Without Overage Charges
 

AT&T has introduced new Mobile Share Advantage plans that eliminate data overage charges. Instead, after customers use all of their high-speed data amounts, all data usage will be reduced to a maximum of 128 kbps for the rest of their bill cycle, akin to what T-Mobile has offered for several years.

The new data plans continue to include unlimited U.S. talk and text, rollover data, sharable data, and Mobile Hotspot tethering.

AT&T charges an additional $20 access charge per smartphone per month for each plan. The carrier previously charged $25 per month for 5GB or lower plans and $15 per month for 15GB and above plans.

AT&T boasts that many of its new plans include more data at a lower cost per megabyte than some plans it offers today.

For example, if you have 2 smartphone lines on a current Mobile Share Value 5GB plan for $100 per month, you can **w get the new Mobile Share Advantage 6GB plan ? 1 additional GB of data for the same price, plus ** overages. If you need more data, for $20 more a month, you can get 10GB of data.

We?ve also revised our 25GB and higher plans. We **w offer a new 25GB plan for $190 per month for 4 smartphone lines (previously $235 per month) and our 30GB plan is **w $215 per month for 4 smartphone lines (previously $285 per month). Customers can add up to 10 lines on both plans.

The new Mobile Share Advantage plans are available August 21. Existing AT&T customers will **t be automatically migrated to the new plans, so those interested in switching should inquire with the carrier next week.

AT&T follows in the footsteps of Verizon's new data plans introduced last month.
