It was only a matter of time... and you know every other carrier will do the very same thing eventually. They aren't about to allow people using 10 GB for free on their system. Yeah it sucks, but don't think for an instant that ATT is somehow unique about profits and network loading.
I just thought I would help put some minds at ease. I just got off the phone with my brother who works for AT&T to ask him about this. For the record, so far every bit of information he has told me has been 100% accurate. With that being said, he received an internal memo that stated to tell all customers if they are currently grandfathered in to an Unlimited data plan, upgrading to an HSPA+ device (Atrix 4G and Inspire) will allow them to keep their Unlimited Data. The above document is for the 4G (non HSPA+) plans, which he did in fact also confirm. So while this is something to worry about at a later point, this is not an issue for people upgrading to the Atrix. Of course new customers that is another story all together but not one that hasn't already been told.
whats the "unlimited" limit?
What the he'll were u doing!!! I am usually at 1.75 and use my iPhone all day
Stream Pandora for 6-8 hours a day...it goes up quick.
congrats for being part of the reason why AT&T took away unlimited data![]()
That isn't fair to blame him for that. Blame the people that tether their phone all day because they are too cheap to buy home internet because their phone has "unlimited" data. At least he was legit in his use; meaning he only used his phone to achieve the data consumption, which is exactly what the point of an unlimited data plan is. Tethering without a plan is against every wireless providers' contract, but using your phone for entertainment isn't and is a good reason why people use smartphones to begin with.congrats for being part of the reason why AT&T took away unlimited data![]()

His mother must be so proud
6 - 8 hours of streaming a day is beyond ludicrous...
