For myself this is bad news. I'm currently paying $30/3gb data/$5 for 200 texts (all friends have ipones), $9.99 for the added line on my mothers family plan. Of the four of us I'm the only one with a smartphone, so a mobile share plan is not necessary. I pay my mother $50 each month which covers my part of the bill.
I just priced out for kicks a 5gb NEXT mobile share plane @ $50/month, $25 for NEXT, and $40 for "mobile share value access charge (what the hell is that?)". $100 a month BEFORE taxes.
Over $50/month MORE for something I don't need (unlimited texting/extra data).
I refuse to pay AT&T more for stuff I don't need. Looks like i'll be going back to a basic flip phone of some sort or switch to a prepaid system such as Boost mobile.
