Includes iPad ($30/unlimited option is no longer available to iPad customers after June 7). Current $30/unlimited customers are grandfathered in, for now, at least.
Where to begin? Canceling the $30/unlimited option barely a month after the iPad 3G shipped is deceptive, at best. Adding a 2GB cap to the top-tier iPhone/iPad data plan while only dropping the price by $5 doesn't seem like a good deal to me. I accept the need for caps, but I'd rather pay the extra $5 and get 5GB a la Verizon. The $15/200MB plan is comparable to what I paid Telstra in Australia, which I thought was a horrible deal, but at least it was contract-free!
If they'd accompanied these new data plans with similar price and usage reductions on the voice side, I'd be less upset, maybe even pleased. But given that the voice plans for the iPhone are still Cadillac- and Escalade-sized, when I only want a Vespa, AT&T is clearly out of step with my needs. FOAD.
- gte910h 16y agoHoly crap, that's bullshit, after the iPad was sold with this Unique data plan as a HUGE selling point.
- josefresco 16y agoHow do you think I feel? I ordered the 'small' iPad days ago expecting to pay the $30/month and utilize the cloud for data storing and now since it hasn't arrive yet I'll be screwed into paying slightly less for a lot less data and there goes my plan to store my media online. Awesome, fuck you AT&T.

On the bright side, a half-price data plan is a step in the right direction. The light email and Google Maps user finally has an appropriate plan as of today; perhaps the heavy data user and occasional caller will be the next addressed.
