After years of hinting at looming wireless data pricing changes,
AT&T has finally buckled
to recommendations by stock jocks like Sanford Bernstein's Craig
Moffett -- and killed their unlimited 3G iPhone pricing plan. In an announcement
that insists they're introducing "new lower-priced wireless data
plans," the company says the unlimited data plan will be replaced by two
new data plans for new users: "DataPlus" and "DataPro."
•DataPlus: Provides 200 megabytes (MB) of data for $15 per month. If customers exceed 200 MB in a monthly billing cycle, they will receive an additional 200 MB of data usage for $15 for use in the cycle. AT&T insists that 65 percent of AT&T smartphone customers use less than 200 MB of data per month on average.
•DataPro: Provides 2 gigabytes (GB) of data for $25 per month. If a customer exceed 2 GB during a billing cycle, they will receive an additional 1 GB of data for $10 for use in the cycle. AT&T insists that 98 percent of their smartphone customers use less than 2 GB of data a month on average.
AT&T says they'll send text messages to users as they reach 65 percent, 90 percent and 100 percent of their monthly cap.
