They aren't really screwing that group per se, simply not offering something current to those who are on something that they no longer offer. Fairly standard practice in pretty much any industry.
This.
We do have a great plan in terms of data, but the new features never get added to unlimited data. I know it's an old plan that they no longer offer, but that does not stop them from certain features att adds. They pick and choose, which is fine because they have the right to do that, but it still kind of stinks.
just by the advertising T-Mobile seems to be a better option as they also give free roaming anywhere else.
The reason ATT adds perks is to get people to move off of their older plans. This isn;t a bone they're throwing customers. It's a way to make more money.
Oh I totally get it. I still don't think it's right though. If you had one of the first data shared plans back in the day, you still get all the perks that new ones have. It's not because it's a dead plan, it's because like you said they want more money.
As a customer I would certainly be happy with that of course, by why would it not be right? Most things operate like this and have done so for a long time. If you get some service that is then no longer being offered and newer services are offered you typically don't get the additional perks of those new services unless you switch to them.
I do get that an old service does not get the new perks. That is fine if you are consistent which Att is not. Like I said, if the got one of the first data shared plans (which are no longer offered just like unlimited plan) you still get can the new perks. Att is only upgrading those they can make more money off. That is the issue I have.
Shared plans are still within the type of plans that they offer today, even if the specific ones might not be offered now. Not really inconsistent as much as not offering perks to those on completely outdated plans while perhaps offering it to those on more recent or compatible plans even if they aren't the exact current ones. They could not even offer it to those more recent ones, I guess that would be more "consistent" but less user friendly.
So what about minute plans? Those still get all the perks and most people have plans from years ago. I know we have a plan that dates back to early 2000, that Att tells us every time this is a really old plan that they do not offer anymore. We still get everything anyone else gets with their minute plans.

?! 
True but I still want my number to work due to work and family purpose . It would of just been nice but like u said I'm not given up my unlimited data so awh wellJust unlock your phone like i did and pop in a local Mexican sim card, a far better deal than anything AT&T can offer!
I'll never give up my unlimited data!
Supposedly Canada is coming soon, before Thanksgiving. I was advised by phone agent to check back with them again before Thanksgiving. Same deal-- you have to request it, gives you free 1G data, but the data allowance doesn't roll over. Also no charge.
