AT&T: New customers can only get data-share plans now

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 13 Oct 2013 5:33 User comments (1)

AT&T: New customers can only get data-share plans now AT&T has confirmed that all new customers will only be able to buy Mobile Share data plans, which cost more but allow you to share data between multiple devices including tablets.
The new move will begin on October 25th with the elimination of all older plans. The company says it making such a move because its data-share plans are now its most popular, by far.

If you are an existing customer, you will remain grandfathered for life unless you decide to move to a data-share plan.

AT&T has faced increased competition from major rival Verizon and smaller rival T-Mobile, which has better prices and keeps increasing its phone selection and features.

AT&T's plan to compete with it's cheaper rivals is to raise prices?

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.

Does your phone rattle? Here's why it happens Does your phone rattle? Here's why it happens
When you shake your phone and hear a light rattle, clatter, or jingle, it's likely not broken. The culprit is probably the optical image stabilization (OIS) system in your phone's camera, meaning everything is functioning as it should.
