AT&T discontinuing prepaid unlimited data plan

Hi there! If you're new to the site, you may want to subscribe to the the feed.

Update: As Chris points out in the comments, this only affects Pay As You Go customers. I inadvertently took the Pick Your Plan screen grab. Apologies.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Just five months after we found out about AT&T’s unlimited MEdia Net prepaid plan, it’s going the way of the Dodo. Word comes from Phone News that the $19.99 monthly plan will no longer be an AT&T Go Phone option. The axe comes down on November 12th, putting an end to what has been deemed a “trial exercise.”

Rumors of this started on Howard Forum two weeks ago. A prepaid rep chimed in early last week, saying he/she hadn’t heard anything about it. I suppose the plan was in the works, but AT&T wasn’t telling anyone.

Hopefully, AT&T comes back with a similar offering. They say they’ll continue offering per-usage MEdiaNet, which includes the plans listed above (minus the unlimited, of course). It’s just not the same, though.

  1. This only affects GoPhone Pay As You Go customers.

    This article incorrectly strikes out the Pick Your Plan unlimited data option, which is unaffected by this change.

    Pick Your Plan customers will continue to be able to add MEdia Net unlimited.
