AT&T Introduces New Smartphone Data Plans w/3GB and 5GB Options
AT&T today announced new smartphone data plans with larger data allocations, the first update to AT&T's plans since June of 2010. The plans kick in this Sunday, January 22.
"Customers are using more data than ever before," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "Our new plans are driven by this increasing demand in a highly competitive environment, and continue to deliver a great value to customers, especially as we continue our 4G LTE deployment."The smartphone plans include unlimited access to AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspots, and replace the current $15/$25 data plans:
- AT&T DataPlus 300MB: $20 for 300MB, additional 300MB for $20.
- AT&T DataPro 3GB: $30 for 3GB, additional 1GB for $10/each
- AT&T DataPro 5GB: $50 for 5GB, with mobile hotspot/tethering, additional 1GB for $10/each
iPad 3G users can now choose from one of three plans:
- The existing 250MB for $15 plan
- AT&T DataConnect 3GB: $30 for 3GB
- AT&T DataConnect 5GB: $50 for 5GB
Current users can keep their plans, but as of Sunday, all new smartphone and tablet service contracts will have to use one of these plans.

This is nothing but a price increase. If you have $30 unlimited -- why pay $30 to get stuck with 3 gig -- at least the $25/2-gig had some monetary incentive.
Stupid AT&T.

This is their solution? To get rid of some of the cheaper options and make it even more expensive?

Honestly, they should have kept the $15 price point and bumped up the data limit from 250MB to 300MB as a courtesy.
Bumping up the rates with modest limit increases is just plain greedy. Thanks anyway, AT&T.

so instead of paying 10$ more to get 2GB instead of 250mb...i have to pay an extra 5 to get 50mb more???
W.T.F.
now if i want more data i have to pay twice as much for data i don't need for 3GB/30$-mo.
why not even a 500mb plan??
