Customers can select one of the new shared data plans or choose one of AT&T’s existing individual or family plans. Current customers are not required to switch to the new plans, but can choose to do so without a contract extension. There are no changes to AT&T’s device upgrade policy, which means customers eligible to upgrade to AT&T’s best device price are not required to switch plans. The new plans will also be available for business customers.
With AT&T Mobile Share plans, customers start by choosing how much data they want each month, then choose up to 10 devices to attach to their shared plan, one of which must be a smartphone. Each plan includes tethering and unlimited domestic calls and texts for smartphones and basic or quick messaging phones. The larger the data bucket you choose, the less you pay per gigabyte and the less you pay for each smartphone added to the shared plan
AT&T Mobile Share allows customers to essentially build a plan to fit their devices and usage. Customers who are more data-centric can choose a larger data bucket. Customers who typically use more voice than data can add multiple smartphones and basic phones and opt for a smaller data bucket.
“We offer customers a broad choice and the best lineup of plans, now enhanced by Mobile Share,” said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility. “With these new plans, the more you share, the more you save. They’ll be a good fit for a variety of new and existing customers. But if customers want to stay on their current plan or choose from our existing plans, they can do that, too. It’s their choice.
“Today we think of people’s smartphones and tablets sharing a bucket of data. But in the future we’ll see health care monitors, connected cars, security systems and other devices in the home all connected to the mobile Internet,” said Christopher. “Our Mobile Share plans are simple, easy and a great value for individuals or families with multiple mobile Internet devices.”
Mobile Share plans give customers more control over how, where and on what device they use data — which has become more important as people use more data devices. You can choose to use more of your data bucket on your tablet, for example, or tap into your data bucket only when needed for devices you use occasionally. And by consolidating data plans, you can take advantage of any data you currently have unused each month by efficiently sharing it across devices.
“The ‘more you share, the more you save’ concept is one that will resonate well with customers because of the value provided through the Mobile Share data plans themselves and in smartphone connection fees,” said Roger Entner, Founder and Lead Analyst of Recon Analytics. “AT&T also is providing its customers with flexibility and choice by keeping its existing data plans and not requiring customers to move to Mobile Share unless they want to. It’s a win-win for both AT&T and its customers.”
To help customers track their data usage, AT&T keeps users informed with courtesy alerts as they near their data allowance for the month. Also, customers can check their usage at anytime online, through the myAT&T mobile app, or by calling *DATA# from their mobile phone.
Each data plan also includes access to more than 30,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots — the nation’s largest Wi-Fi network** among wireless carriers — at no additional charge. Wi-Fi usage at public hotspots, home or office does not count toward the monthly wireless data plan usage.

Exede Internet offers speeds up to 12 Mbps (megabits per second) downstream and up to 3 Mbps upstream. ViaSat, the provider of well-known WildBlue Internet service, recently launched this new Internet service, which brings together the highest capacity satellite in the world, state-of-the-art ground equipment and breakthrough web acceleration technology, all optimized to deliver high-speed, high-quality streaming to consumers.
Since the launch tens of thousands of customers nationwide have already signed up for the new, faster Exede service. The response from customers has been overwhelmingly positive.
“As a local dealer serving this community for many years, I’m very pleased to be the first retailer in this area to provide very fast Internet to new and existing customers who have never been able to get speeds like this in the past,” said Michael Buffington, President of One-Stop Commmunications. Our initial customers are thrilled with the speed and reliability of Exede, and we’re gearing up to provide service to many more customers here in Central Pennsylvania.”
“I had no idea that satellite internet service could deliver this kind of speed,” said Paul Rehm, a regional sales consultant, who was among the first customers to receive the service in the country. “Make no mistake, Exede is screaming Internet.”
According to another early subscriber who lives outside a major urban area, “Exede Internet is better than the DSL service I had,” said entrepreneur Ray Rodriguez. “It’s about four times as fast.”
