AT&T Offering iPhone Customers Unlimited Data Plan To Stop Them From Switching To Verizon – iPhone Hacks .recentcomments a{display:inline !important;padding:0 !important;margin:0 !important;} iPhone Hacks
Verizon Wireless will start offering the iPhone on Feb. 10 with a draw that AT&T no longer offers to new subscribers: a plan with unlimited data usage. But The Associated Press has learned that some AT&T iPhone users on limited plans won't need to move to Verizon for unlimited data.In an unadvertised loophole, AT&T Inc. has allowed subscribers who have had an unlimited data plan in the past to switch back. That includes anyone who had an iPhone before June, when the limited plans took effect.So now you know what to do if you plan to stick with AT&T but want the unlimited data plan. We think instead of doing this secretly, AT&T should announce the unlimited data plans for its iPhone customers to avoid losing customer who won't even bother negotiating with AT&T's customer service and will simply switch to Verizon.If you have managed to switch back to the unlimited data plan then please let us know in the comments section below.[via WSJ]TweetShareRelated PostsVerizon To Offer Unlimited Data Plan To iPhone CustomersVerizon Will Offer Unlimited Data Plans To iPhone Customers To Take On AT&TAT&T Slashes Rates for iPhone Customers – Unlimited Voice And Data Plan For $99.99AT&T Kills Unlimited Data Plans For iPad; Replaces It With 2GB PlanAT&T Announces New Data Plans And iPhone Tethering; Kills Unlimited Data PlansPosted by iPhoneHacks on January 26, 2011 in CDMA iPhone, Carriers, GSM iPhone, Verizon iPhone, iPhone News, iPhone Rumors | Permalink|Comments (27) Comments

I think that AT&T is going to have to do a little more than offer the unlimited plan again to keep people from jumping ship. Perhaps undercutting Verizon’s data plans a bit and making tethering/hotspot cheaper to use and not charge for extra data… after all, why do we need to pay for data several times. Let us have it and use it as we see fit…
January 26, 2011 at 7:43 PM ReplyAT&T is NEVER the leader in price cuts. As a matter of fact at MOST they’ll follow suit. If verizon says $20 they might go $20 but never lower. Lessin’ T-Mobile does. Like with the 4g and everything else.
January 27, 2011 at 12:28 AM Reply1st… I will spread tha word!
January 26, 2011 at 7:46 PM ReplyYou mean 2nd right
No, he got first. In the fag olympics
January 26, 2011 at 10:07 PM ReplyYou’re just jealous because you got second place.
January 27, 2011 at 1:23 AM ReplyCome on I just need an unlock for 4.1 bb 2.10
January 26, 2011 at 7:55 PM ReplyYes, confirmed! My brother-in-law ordered online yesterday, even have additional 28% discount off $30 unlimited data. But when he called in to upgrade his expired contract (was on iphone 2G, $20 unlimited data plan), the rep said there is no more unlimited data plan, so I guess, you need to either order online or tell them you going to jump to Verizon.
January 26, 2011 at 8:43 PM ReplyYou should not have to do that. They are going to try to get you to switch plans but all you need to do it tell them that you want to keep things as they are. That is what I did when I got mine even though they tried like hell to tell me otherwise
well ijus upgrade my wife contract and she had an iphone 4 but now she have a Blackberry Torch i didnt have to change her data plan and fact they told me it will not change unless she drop below a smartphone.
January 27, 2011 at 10:42 PM Replywhen i got the iphone 4 they told me i could keep the unlimited plan i had. i think i did say i was going to tmobile otherwise though.
January 26, 2011 at 9:18 PM ReplyI upgrade online and they offered me to keep the same plan with iPhone 4, so I did not have to worry about dealing with them.
January 26, 2011 at 9:29 PM ReplySo what if you have the (total scam) tethering plan? Since you HAD to switch to one of the capped plans to be able to use tethering. Not that I actually use it since the whole plan is a scam anyway…
January 26, 2011 at 9:44 PM ReplyWell apparently its an extra $20 on top of whatever the data plan was. I have the iphone plan that was 30 data+multimedia unlimited = $50 for data. That doesn’t even include voice mins yet LMAO.
January 27, 2011 at 12:34 AM ReplyDamn so since I got the iPhone in July there’s no chance of me getting the unlimited data plan?
January 26, 2011 at 10:49 PM ReplyApparently there is a method to use an iPhone 2G to get unlimited data on your new line/account then switch out the sim card or cut it down to fit the iP4.
January 27, 2011 at 8:04 PM ReplyIf they want to be competitive, drop the insanely overpriced text messaging plans to $5 unlimited.
January 26, 2011 at 10:57 PM ReplyScrew ATT. If they wanted (cared) about their customers they woul’ve offered this long ago. This proves that ATT is run by greedy gnomes that just care about high profits rather than building a relationship with their customers for long-term. I’m glad ATT’s reign over the iphone is over. I myself can’t wait to hop over to Verizon and forget about the nightmare that is ATT.
January 26, 2011 at 11:31 PM ReplySuccess!!!!
Waited on hold for about 30 minutes while the operator discussed it with her supervisor. When she came back on the line she said the supervisor said it could not be done. Then I asked her why this was all over the news and indicated I’d be going with Verizon so she went to another supervisor who finally approved it. If you want this plan back, be persistent.
January 27, 2011 at 4:35 AM ReplyJust to clarify, If I had the unlimited data plan before I down graded and now I wanted it back, will I have to pay extra to switch over to the unlimited plan or its a free upgrade since Verizon is giving is offering the unlimited plan?
January 27, 2011 at 4:53 AM ReplyI don’t think it will stop people from going to Verizon especially if they have bad network coverage…as many people are just frustrated with AT&T
they should concentrate on making their network better and not on things like this…
Fuck att&t and Fuck Verizon but Fuck att&t more!
January 27, 2011 at 8:49 AM ReplyThey might offer data plans but that cannot change the fact that ATTs network is really poor.
January 27, 2011 at 9:56 AM ReplyJD power and Associates ranked ATT’s customer service the poorest among all for a reason. Even as of today, they’re living up to that reputation. I’m dumping them ASAP.
January 27, 2011 at 1:30 PM ReplyI hope att gets severely impacted after verizon’s existence. That’ll teach them. They have been screwing us customers with their poor network. iPhone is way too far ahead of their current network capabilities!!
January 27, 2011 at 3:24 PM Replythis is actually very fascinating. We need more aggressive competition like this. Good news
January 27, 2011 at 6:15 PM ReplyI have 2 iphone 4G lines (one is my daughters) I had switched mine to the 2gig in November and left hers as the unlimited. I just called to have them switched so I have the unlimited and she the 2gig and they did it for me. Took about 20 minutes on the phone but no big hassle.
