AT&T's GoPhone gives pre-paid users more high-speed data to use
Publish date: 2024-06-02
Hey, consumers using a pre-paid carrier are people too. They want the same things that postpaid subscribers want including the best for their kids, a good 5 cent cigar, and a losing season for the New England Patriots. They also want as much high-speed data each month as they can get their hands on. While AT&T can't do much about your kids, cigars and Tom Brady, it can and did do something about the amount of high-speed data available each month.GoPhone subscribers get unlimited talk, text and data. But once they exceed a certain high-speed data cap, they are throttled down to 128Kbps for the remainder of the month. Starting this Friday, AT&T GoPhone subscribers paying $45 a month for the 1GB data plan will actually receive 1.5GB of high-speed data. Those paying $60 a month for the 2.5GB data plan will be given 4GB of high-speed data. Those with the $60 plan will also be allowed to make unlimited calls to Mexico.The two plans include unlimited texts to Mexico, Canada and over 100 other countries. They also include access to AT&T's Wi-Fi hot spots. The extra high-speed data is automatically added to the $45 and $60 pre-paid accounts, which means you don't have to call customer service to activate it.ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7sbTOp5yaqpWjrm%2BvzqZmp52nqHyCoIyNqmZ%2Fn4W1sLrEZp6irpWoerG%2BxGanmqGUYsK0sdGsZKanopp6qbXGoWSsqJWasW6wwK2YZqyfYsK0sb6im29uYWeF
