FaceTime of Cellular but No One to Share Data With?

[Tarp09GT]

As we all know AT&T is limiting FaceTime over cellular to mobile share plans. However, what about single people with no family who have no reason for a mobile SHARE plan. Are they just screwed? I can't imaging a call with AT&T... "we understand that you are single with no family and no kids but if you would like to use FaceTime over cellular you must select a mobile share plan....

It doesnt make any sense.
Hope the FCC slaps AT&T with a big fine over this crap they're trying to pull.
Net Neutrality Complaint Will Be Filed Against AT&T Over FaceTime Limitations:

Good point.

Data share plan is not so great for folks with one phone/device.

for $50 for 5GB of data, you can have mobile hotspot, and I think that includes FaceTime via cellular.

ATT continues to blur the lines of ethics when it comes to paying money for our data and then telling us how and which services we can use on it.

The worst part is the $50

The worst part is the $50

I have a FAN account and I was informed a few weeks ago that if I use the 3GB $30 data plan I will not get a discount on my bill, but if I upgrade to the 5GB $50 plan that my discount will apply and it comes out to only $37 a month (25% discount) with tethering.

No it doesn't include FT over cellular unfortunately.

Not bad.
I pay $22 for unlimited data with my FAN.
I wouldnt want to pay more to get the same 5GB of LTE data.

I don't use anywhere near 3GB let alone 5GB and I don't tether often enough to warrant paying more, so I downgraded and kept my 3GB plan.

When my data plan was young
I never needed to FT anyone
And tetherin' was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the data that I've know
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

FT myself
Don't wanna do, FT by myself anymore
FT myself
Don't wanna do, FT all by myself anymore

Me neither.
So I kept my unlimited data plan for $22 with discount
