By Telecom Lead Team: Mobile service provider AT&T has unveiled new data
plans for its smartphone and tablet customers in the U.S. All the new
plans give customers more data and value.

AT&T DataPlus, DataPro 3GB and DataPro 5GB. All plans are available at $20,
$30 and $50 respectively. Also, customers can get additional data by
paying $10 per additional gigabyte on the AT&T DataPro 3GB and
DataPro 5GB plans.

to determine which data plan best matches their needs through various tools at
its website. The website offers a data calculator where customers can estimate
usage for their typical data activity.
“Customers are using more data
than ever before. Our new plans are driven by this increasing demand in a
highly competitive environment, and continue to deliver a great value to
customers, especially as we continue our 4G LTE deployment,”
said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T
Mobility and Consumer Markets.

customers will have the choice of keeping their current plans or choosing one
of these new plans, and the current $14.99 for

of their usage levels by sending usage alerts as they consume data within their
plan.
