AT&T provides you with the tools to compute how much data you need monthly
Back in July, AT&T told us that
they would be launching their shared data plan, AT&T Mobile Share, sometime in late August. August 23rd is late in the month and that is the day that the nation's second largest carrier has announced that it will be launching its new program. With AT&T Mobile Share, users get unlimited talk and text and then select from the amount of data that they want to pay for starting from 1GB and going as high as 20GB. The amount of data you purchase is then
available to be shared by as many as ten devices.
To help you decide how much data you need, clicking on the sourcelink will allow you to use some tools provided by the carrier to estimate how much data you will need to purchase each month. 1GB will cost you $40 plus $45 for each smartphone on the plan while 20GB runs $200 plus $30 for each smartphone or feature phone. Tablets cost $10 each to be added to a Moble Share Plan. You also receive free access to AT&T Hotspots for capable devices. For more information, check out the video below.
AT&T customers not interested in Mobile Share can continue with their current plan.
