AT&T has just launched a new “Mobile Share Value Plan” for families and small businesses, which gives both new and existing AT&T customers an option to share unlimited talk and text, and 10GB of data starting at $130 for two smartphones.
Based on AT&T’s pricing table, it looks like you’ll be paying $100 for the unlimited talk and text, and 10GB of data, and $15 for each smartphone (and up to 10 smartphones for small businesses).
Existing AT&T customers on a 2-year contract are also eligible to move this family plan. They could end up saving between $40 and $100 per month, depending on their current plan. However, there is a caveat:
Customers who choose to upgrade at the end of their current agreement are required to sign-up for NEXT, bring their own device or purchase a phone a full retail price in order to keep this plan.
Verizon is currently offering a comparable plan for $260 per month. AT&T is also offering new and existing customers a $100 bill credit for each new line of service for a limited time.
AT&T seems to be feeling the heat from T-Mobile’s Uncarrier 4.0 program.
Let me know if you save any money with AT&T’s new family plan.
