Carrier POLL - Have any AT&T Grandfathered Unlimited people finally switched plans?

[clunkmess]

The AT&T Unlimited Plus is looking real nice, especially since i have DirecTV and can save another $25/month and finally have tethering! In addition, i would also have unlimited talk, which is better than the 700 shared minutes i have now.

Has anyone with grandfathered AT&T Unlimited finally made the choice to switch plans?

Not switching to direct TV no matter what. Have use land base SAT TV before and it sucks when it rains. I dumped the unlimited on both of our iPhones and did the family plan and my bill went from $245 down to $165 and I am not looking back.

 

[NougatDude]

Not switching but I am adding a phone line and hotspot

DirecTV isn't required anymore and hasn't been required for almost two weeks now. You can get an unlimited plan on any carrier without any other service requirement.

I'm on the old Verizon unlimited plan. I pay $65 for unlimited data and 30 minutes. Switching would cost me $15/month more so I'll stick with my old plan.

My family is on AT&T. They had the old unlimited plan, but the switched to the new one with DirecTV because it allowed them to have up to 10 lines instead of only five. Since Verizon offers a better unlimited plan with better coverage, they planned on switching soon. But with this new plan being a little cheaper and finally offering tethering, they're going to stick with AT&T until all their phones are paid off and contracts are up, then they're going to switch to Verizon.

Switching to the new Unlimited plus. Glad they came out with something a bit better and with hotspot. I was prepared to leave for Verizon at the end of my cycle, but now I'll stick it out.

It's tempting me to switch back to Verizon who I left when the first iPhone came out. Things that are holding me back, is I don't feel like dropping another 1k on a phone that will work on Verizon network. The other I wouldn't be saving much if I switched because I have one iPhone and then a dumb phone.

I am too happy with my XFinity! No leaving

I switched to T-Mobile. Zero regrets thus far.

You don't have to is what I'm saying.

Unlimited on ATT since the first iPhone. Jumped ship for T-Mobile this week. OK so far and if coverage isn't what I need I'll give Verizon a try in September. Feels good to let go.

 

[killr_b]

Change doesn't scare me and Verizon isn't the best network, so I don't know what those comments are supposed to mean, but no one has convinced me that anything else is better than my original plan.

Unlimited on the "worst" network? I switched to T-Mobile and it's just as good, if not better, than AT&T in my area. They're also rated as the fastest network in the Northeast. There's literally no reason to stay on any AT&T plan if T-Mobile or Verizon have decent coverage in your area. My family of 4 is now paying $100/mo less and two of the lines went from limited data to unlimited.

 

[spades1412]

T-Mobile is hardly the "worst" network. Maybe in some small areas still. I switched to them early last month. Its been night & day better than AT&T where I live & work.

 

[rluvbeach]

Also switched from my old grandfathered plan to tmobile all in. their service is as good and better in some spots here in south fl.

I left AT$T last year when T-Mobile had its first unlimited offer and have been very happy. My bill is lower and coverage in our city and surrounding interstates has been very good. I was on the grandfathered plan and really liked the subsidized phones that are no longer included.

AT$T had horrible customer service. Any phone call was bound to last 25 minutes and often required a follow up call. Heck, even their new unlimited plans are confusing and overly restrictive. T-Mobile has been so much better with customer service, billing, and clarity.

The only annoyance with T-Mobile has been a lack of service in rural areas on the occasional work trip that I need to take four or five times a year. That's an easy tradeoff for me.

 

[LaloG]

Switched to T-Mobile. $80 for 2 unlimited lines Might add a third line since it's free.

Satellite TV is the worst when it comes to rain, snow, thunderstorms, hurricane weather, bad signal areas etc..
Pretty much during all the times that you want to be inside your home trying to watch TV but you cant

Same here. I switched from my AT&T about a year ago and have been very happy in both service, speed and my wallet thanks me every month
If the OP wants to post a true poll and receive honest feedback he should fix the silly poll options listed above

I finally cancelled the old unlimited plan I had since 2007, which I had been hanging onto just in case I wanted to go back from Verizon. They didn't even ask why or try to stop it.

Yes

 

[Ron21]

I canceled my plan as well, AT&T unlimited since 2007. Switched to T-Mobile, no regrets, coverage is the same but speeds are way faster. I'm getting 90mbs in some places..

I noticed that as well. Coverage very similar to AT&T but much faster.

I left AT&T for T-mobile when iPhone 7 was released and quickly discovered that it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. In addition to weak coverage, at least compared to what I was used to, I also had a customer service issue that couldn't be resolved despite nearly daily phone calls. I got tired of hearing "we'll escalate this" and promises of call backs that never came.

After a month of hearing their nonsense, not to mention dropped calls and no/weak service where we never had it before, I had enough and came crawling back to AT&T. I took advantage of unlimited data with DirecTV service. I was having issues with my cable provider at the same time, so dumping them was icing on the cake. I live in Las Vegas, so weather disruptions are unlikely. In fact, we haven't had any at all. I've been very pleased with DirecTV. Being a football fan, having the ability to stream games data-free wherever I am is a bonus.

This new plan is a win for me. The military/vet discount under the new plan provides more savings than my employer FAN discount currently does. Add in the $25 DirecTV monthly credit for service that I plan to keep anyway makes this whole thing a no brainer. I may be in the minority here, but I'm a happy camper.

AT&T does not want to keep old plan so they will never beg to stay. New unlimited or see ya.

Anyone know how the $25 will work if you're a current DirectTVNow subscriber? Will it be $25 off what I pay now or off the full retail value of it? The original promo was $35/mo and retail is $60/mo...

The $35 promo pricing isn't eligible since you're already getting $25 off.
