AT&T Bumps 10 GB Mobile Share Plan to 15 GB for a Limited Time

Verizon already had this since the beginning of the month, and even made the 10 GB cheaper in addition to giving 15 GB for the price of 10 GB): https://www.macrumors.com/2014/10/31/att-verizon-offer-more-data/ In this case it's more of AT&T catching up/matching.
I had 5 lines on the 10gb plan with a 21% FAN discount and after switching over; Tmobile's 2.5gb til 2016 deal is still about 40 bucks cheaper per month with technically MORE data since all my usage was from streaming music to begin with. I haven't even cleared 1gb in the last 2 months because of Music Unlimited.
Sorry At&t... Maybe if your prices were lower or my FAN account actually covered the whole plan instead of just the Data.

competition is when a company tries to offer consumers a better service than their fellow rivals in the industry. take car manufacturers as an example strictly of competition.
this here is simply a duopoly. how does today's announcement offer AT&T as a better service than Verizon? what updates did they do to their infrastructure that enabled them to give us a measly 5 GB more for free simply out of the kindness of their heart? it's simply an illusion.
oh we lost a few thousand customers; let's get them back with this string
PS. yes we have sprint and tmobile but they are simply too small right now. tmobile is becoming a force but they are simply a Tesla if compared to the car analogy.

The app no longer shows you the option of the plan you are currently on.

Funny that they're willing to double 15GB to 30GB, but not double 10GB to 20GB.
Still, for those who missed out on the retentions offer, this is a nice little bump. Enjoy the extra data, folks.
The double data offer for the 15GB - 50GB was supposed to end on the 15th of November. At least on my account the double data for the 15GB-50GB is still an option for my account.
don't let your daughter know that you have an extra 5gb...because she WILL use it up also...and you would still have to threaten her to stop using it.
you know the saying. "if you have a lot you will use a lot, If you have little you will use a little" or something like that lol
I wonder if AT&T can limit how much data a phone can use.
For people to have extra 5 GB of data for no extra money, or (at least in case of Verizon) to be able to have the same amount for less money every month, it's sure more than just imaginary since it's something they can actually use and feel the difference in.
You are lucky to have T-Mobile, i have sprint, Verizon, att, uscc, and the various prepaid offerings on those networks. My fan is 28% so they are the cheapest option.
Huh?
A "casual" user would have no need to stream 20 hours of video a month via cellular. Betting they also don't travel without access to WiFi.
You're not a casual user, dude.

Yeah LA's Tmobile signal isn't too shabby. I have places where I have no signal but those places have free WIFI... like Target.
Que?
It is my understanding that ATT is doing this to match what Verizon is already doing now.

BL.
There is no automatic limit - but I constantly monitor how much the kids are using and I can turn data off per phone, never had to use it, but they know that I can do that.
And yes, I won't tell my kids about the extra data .... don't want to spoil them too much
Watch your data! Don't leave your pandora on accidentally, or the wrong app open. It could cost you. ( if your on one of 'those' networks )
So 3 phones on contract is 100.00 + 40 per line.
Gee wiz for 220.00 what a deal #

I'll keep my unlimited

What plan are you using? I have 3 lines & an iPad on the 10GB AT&T Mobile Share and only pay $140 (includes tax).
I couldn't find a cheaper T-Mobile plan.
If with Next, you're looking at 15 per line. 145 isn't good, but also isn't bad (FAN discounts notwithstanding)..
BL.
Not quite $40 per line since a lot of people can get $25 off per line with those accounts, and quite a few can get employer discounts, so for them a plan like this becomes something along the lines of around $125 or so, which is far from a bad deal for 15 GB of data for 3 phones on a nationwide carrier with good penetration and speeds pretty much throughout.
It's not for everyone;

Kinda towards the bottom.
It's $30 for unlimited text & data (5GB 4G then throttled) but only 100 minutes/month talktime. Oh and it's prepaid.
You're totally missing the point. They are not trying to be "generous". It is a marketing strategy for business...nothing more, nothing less. Why does everyone hate a business that supplies a product that you decide wethere you want or not?
It will be... as soon as the carriers latch onto the next thing to raise their ARPU's. Now international text messages are free! A few years ago they would snatch your first born to send 100 texts!
