AT&amp;T says that if you like your unlimited data plan, you can keep your unlimited data plan, but it will cost you an extra $5 per month. Just as it did in early 2016, AT&amp;T is raising the price for subscribers (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3010208/carriers/atts-raising-the-prices-of-legacy-unlimited-data-plans.html) still on unlimited data plans, as first reported by DSL Reports (https://www.dslreports.com/shownews/ATT-Bumps-the-Price-of-Unlimited-Data-Again-138682). AT&amp;T’s unlimited data plans were originally a tool to encourage people to get an iPhone during the early days of the modern smartphone era.</p><p>
Starting March 2017, AT&amp;T subscribers with unlimited data plans will have to pay $40 per month instead of $35. AT&amp;T isn’t the only carrier hoping to reduce its roster of grandfathered plan subscribers. Verizon is currently weeding out data hogs (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/01/verizon-cuts-off-unlimited-data-users-who-use-more-than-200gb-a-month/) that use more than 200GB of wireless data per month.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3156592/mobile/att-raises-unlimited-data-pricing-as-carriers-push-users-away-from-grandfathered-plans.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
