It seems that everything just got a bit more expensive. It was recently that carriers such as Verizon and T-Mobile announced that they would be raising the prices of their unlimited data plans, and if you are on AT&T’s network and you’re feeling a bit relieved that the carrier did not raise their prices, you might be disappointed.AT&T has recently confirmed that they will be raising the prices of their grandfathered unlimited data plan. Prior to this, it only cost customers $30 a month, but AT&T has since hiked the price up by $5 and will now cost $35 for customers every month. Granted it’s not a very big change in price, but it’s one that customers should pay attention to all the same.
According to AT&T, this change is only expected to come into effect in 2016, so for now you have a couple of months to enjoy the $30 rate. “Customers who have a grandfathered unlimited smartphone data plan will receive notifications of a $5/mo. rate increase for the data plan. The rate increase will take effect starting with the customer’s February, 2016 service.”
However according to AT&T’s statement, it does seem to suggest that further changes could be made down the line, which we guess is only natural. “Consumers and businesses are using mobile data at record levels and the trend is expected to continue. To help ensure we continue to provide the best service for all of our customers, a small price increase is being made at this time. This is the first price increase in 7 years.”
