I first was a bit worried about the new AT&T data plan, then after I checked my data usage I worried no more. I realized that most of the time I’d be in areas where I always have access to Wi-Fi network. I apparently used a lot less bandwidth on AT&T data network than I thought. Without any access to the Wi-Fi network, I’d easily gone over the newly introduced 2GB data cap in a week or less. I guess I’ll be paying AT&T less for my phone service.
For the past 6 months, my data usage never go over 1GB per month.
If I were to get an iPad 3G, I’d have no problem paying for the lesser data plan thanks to all those Wi-Fi Access Points.
UPDATE: According to AT&T post, current customers can keep their plan when upgrading to new phone; including the upcoming iPhone. It still not clear if customer with existing plan can add tethering option.
AT&T will no longer be offering Unlimited Data Plan to new customers starting June 7th, 2010 coinciding with Apple Worldwide Developer Conference. Currently iPhone (and other smartphone) customers on AT&T can enjoy unlimited data plan for $30. While current customers can keep their existing plans, the iPhone 4G (or whatever Apple will name it) will come with the new data plans. AT&T will finally allows Tethering to iPhone users with this new Data Plan.
The new wireless data plans – including a new tethering option – will be available beginning June 7. Current AT&T voice and texting plans are unchanged.
…….
The new AT&T plans provide large amounts of data to enable people to enjoy their favorite online activities:
- DataPlus.
Provides 200 megabytes (MB) of data ……. 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.- DataPro.
Provides 2 gigabytes (GB) of data ……. Should 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.With the new wireless data plans, pricing for a smartphone voice and data bundle now starts at just $54.99 per month for an individual plan, or $24.99 per month for an additional line on a FamilyTalk plan, $15 per month less than the price of the previous entry level bundle.
It seems that AT&T would never allow tethering with unlimited data plan.
AT&T will be offering Data Tethering plan starting June 7th, 2010 coinciding with Apple Worldwide Developer Conference.

Smartphone customers – including iPhone customers – who choose the DataPro plan have the option to add tethering for an additional $20 per month. Tethering lets customers use their smartphones as a modem to provide a broadband connection for laptop computers, netbooks or other computing devices. Tethering for iPhones will be available when Apple releases iPhone OS 4 this summer.With the new wireless data plans, pricing for a smartphone voice and data bundle now starts at just $54.99 per month for an individual plan, or $24.99 per month for an additional line on a FamilyTalk plan, $15 per month less than the price of the previous entry level bundle.
For new iPad customers, the $25 per month 2 GB plan will replace the existing $29.99 unlimited plan. iPad customers will continue to pre-pay for their wireless data plan and no contract is required. Existing iPad customers who have the $29.99 per month unlimited plan can keep that plan or switch to the new $25 per month plan with 2 GB of data.
It seems that the upcoming iPhone comes with this new data plan.
It only took a little bit over a month after the release of iPad WiFi+3G, AT&T axes the unlimited data plan. For some reasons this feels like some kind of bait-and-switch scheme. One of the most attractive feature of iPad WiFi+3G is the $30 unlimited data plan (Apple iPad 3G page).
