Woot just checked mines and I got it too..
I'm on the grandfather data plan .. iPhone 5

Oh please no! Now it's going to be slower because of everyone using this. I usually don't mind it being slow, but if it gets much slower than it already is, then it's just annoying.

iOS 5 doesn't support that, you'd have to upgrade. But you're on 5.1.1 just jailbreak it and get facebreak or MIFi and then you can take the limiter off of everything wifi restricted

i don't have it either after hard and soft resets. iPhone 5 with unlimited. in Atlanta

Works for both mine and my wife's iPhone 5 near Sacramento, CA. Both on grandfathered unlimited plan. Nice job AT&T!

Could this just be a Thanksgiving weekend courtesy?

iMikeT · Nov 21, 2012, 01:24 AM

Well looky here, seems like AT&T finally did something to the benefit of their customers for a change. Now if they can only give us truly unlimited data WITHOUT throttling.....

Becareful, one 2-3 minute FaceTime call is 30MB I believe. (Look up the original facebreak video)

Marcus PM · Nov 21, 2012, 01:29 AM

Not working for me in Seattle on a grandfathered 4S OS 6.0.1
Tried a herd reset too. Gave me a message to Call.

Every time I get throttled I call and complain. Sometimes I get credited for the data $30! I suggest everyone call everytime they get throttled

freedevil · Nov 21, 2012, 01:30 AM

No go in San Diego with unlimited plan.

AT&T does not count facetime cellular use towards your data plan. Just like MMS. Currently, that is how it works with their mobile share plans and that is how it will work once it is rolled out to all users.

This however does not apply if you facetime over cellular using a jailbroken method. Then it WILL count towards data for those on tiered plans.

falconman515 · Nov 21, 2012, 01:39 AM

Works for me with my IP5 on Grandfathered unlimited plan from Fresno, CA.

I turned off my WiFi and at home and was able to facetime call the wife just fine)

Also my wifes IP5 on regular I think $20 data plan works as well.

Thanks AT&T for finally getting your head out your ass on not screwing the people who have been around forever!

spoa94 · Nov 21, 2012, 01:44 AM

No go for me. iPhone 4S, 3GB data, Plan billed in New Orleans yet currently in Milwaukee. Both have LTE. Tried hard reset, no luck.

Just ask anyone with a mobile share plan. My partner works for the company so he let me know. I had no idea it works just like mms.
