AT&T Double Mobile Share Data Pool Promo

I was just able to upgrade from 15 GB to 30 GB online, and I have 2 pending iPhone 6+ orders through the Apple site
Yes, I just signed into myATT and was able to change using the plan comparison tool. It is already in effect when I log back into my account
I did- gave up two of my lines that had unlimited and switched to the 30gb (60gb after promo) which saved me $20 a month, *and* gave me hotspot tethering on all on my devices. Usage stats showed I never went over 10-12gb's per month across the 3 lines that use the most data (including the two unlimited lines) so this was a no brainer for me.
The web was useless. Pages would time out before they loaded. Voice calls were possible and text messages worked ok, but for me and my family that was about it. Oh yea, when one person went over, all three of us were throttled till the end of the pay period. Only then the web was possible again.
It was maddening.
just upgraded and it automatically made my prior data usage goto 0 so its GREAT!!!
I have 30 GB to use for the next 16 days!!!

I have similar discount (27%) and jumped on this deal. I was already going over by just under 1GB so now I'll get 3x times the data for $20 more. its a no brainer.
How the heck are you guys getting 25 and 27% discounts? I'm at 19% which I thought was pretty good, but wow!
They're not that crazy.
Seriously, I'm in the same boat. Mostly on Wi-Fi. But I think I'm going to go for the doubled 15GB plan. I won't save any money, but I'll have some headroom for other family members who get an iPhone or tablet, and the tethering will be handy.
I've never gone over the 10GB, but I do watch it closely and we have had to be cautious at the end of the month quite a few times. It might be worth it just so I can use as much data as I want.
So how does getting a new phone work if I was to switch to this double mobile share data ?? I have to buy phones full price or bring my own??
It just depends on the company you work for and their ability to negoiate the discount I guess.
But are they in the shipping process or still waiting? Mine is in the shipping process
----------
You can use their Next program or you can still do 2 yr contract. Your line will just go back to $40 per line. Doesn't affect your data
Mine are still processing. I've got another 3-4 weeks to wait, although it might be less at the rate apple seems to be getting through the 6+ orders
Just upgraded from 10GB to 30GB. Extra $24/mo after my 20% discount. No brainer. We've never gone over 10GB, but then again we use it sparingly. No streaming video when on data and I usually wait till I get home to install app upgrades over 20MB. Now, I can use data freely with no worries.
----------
30GB is now $130 and 40GB is $150, before corporate discounts. After I apply 20% discount, $130 drops to $104 and $150 drops to $120. That's for the plan. Then you add the cost per line to that.

I average about 20gb per month across 5 lines and an iPad on my account. My line has unlimited data. The other lines are on an allotted data amount. According to the calculator on AT&T, switching to 30gb Shared will save me almost $100. The 40gb plan will save me about $70. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.
Assuming you upgrade on a 2-year schedule and plan on continuing to do so, do factor in the subsidy you're getting for your devices - $18.75/mo * 5 = $93.75.
I tried all day yesterday to change my plan online and couldn't, now I read if you have a new phone coming you can't do it until the new phone is activated.
My new iPhone is due to arrive today .....
Can't wait to change my data plan. A few months ago I went from 10gb to 15gb and still watch my use like a hawk getting 30gb for the same price will be great!!!
If I didn't just buy my new phone on the NEXT plan I would go for even more data. This is a great deal!

Pick wisely now
When the promotion is over, it's over. After seeing the thread I called in and upgraded to the 15/30 gig promo. But for 20 more dollars I could have 40 gigs. To me, that's a lot.
that would let me actually stream video sometimes and not have to worry. Us data users have always been hamstrung by ATT's pricing. Even the unlimited plan,when I had it,only let me use up to five gigs before they slowed me down, so it wasn't really useful and unlimited.
I'm going to upgrade to the 20/40 gb plan after Oct 2. That is when my new billing period will start. After October 31 any changes will cause us to go back to the original billing amounts. Isn't that right? So whatever we do during this promotional period needs to be a solid decision.
I know that I am going to hate paying for 40 gb and only using 12,but I don't want to be shortsighted on this either.
