The day I almost gave up my iPhone
So here I was, relaxing, and getting my nails done, and talking all kinds of good things about the iPhone, and why everyone should have one… and what should cross my iPhone stream… but an article saying that AT&T is getting rid of the Unlimited Data plans for their smart phones… like the iPhone.. and the iPad… Oh REALLY??? That’s a huge reason we’ve stayed with AT&T.. Their smart phone plans made it worth staying with them… that and the iPhone isn’t anywhere else… Well, hubby and I have been looking for an excuse to go android, and this just about settled it…
Then I called AT&T to get the scoop from them directly. I was read verbatim, their new policy, sent via their internal email system. She told me that they are NOT going to be making any existing customers change to the new plans… even though they can do so at no cost to them… They won’t make you sign a new contract. She also specifically stated that if we choose to upgrade our phones, we don’t have to change our data plan either… Keep in mind, something with the new data plans though… Tethering… It’s been something many iPhone customers have asked for.. and now you may have it… IF you sign up for one of their other plans… oh.. and pay extra… Now, she couldn’t send me a copy of this at all.. since it was on their internal email system…but she told me that the news should be all over the internet by now…
Here are the new data plans that will be available starting June 7th.
Data Plus – 200 MB of data for $15/month. Additional 200MB for another $15.
DataPro – 2GB of data for $25/month. Additional 1 GB of data for $10.
Tethering – Additional $20/month for DataPro customers.
Yea.. love that extra fee for tethering.. Way to go AT&T… really… way to just bleed us for more money… I can not say how much I really dislike AT&T… Their service dies when I hit my driveway.. but dammit.. they have the iPhone.. and no one else does… Damn…
