AT&T is adding two lower cost tiers to its Mobile Share plan. Previously, the lowest cost monthly data plan available from the carrier was 1GB, which cost $40 a month. Now, AT&T is adding a 300MB tier for $20 a month. That really doesn't give consumers that much data, but if someone is using Wi-Fi most of the time, this plan could be a money saver. Additionally, AT&T is adding a 2GB monthly data plan for $50 a month. Prior to that new level, AT&T customers needing more than 1GB of data were forced to jump to 4GB for $70 a month.
The plans offer AT&T customers unlimited talk and text monthly, plus whatever amount of data they sign for. In addition to the price of the data, there is a cost for each phone connected to a particular tier. For example, with the 300MB plan, each smartphone joining will cost $50 a month. For the new 2GB plan, it will cost you $45 monthly per phone signed up for that tier.
"We've seen an amazing response from customers since we first launched AT&T Mobile Share plans about one year ago, and that's why we're expanding our Mobile Share choices to fit more customers. As of the first quarter of this year, more than 10 million connections have discovered the benefits of sharing data and unlimited talk and text."-Mark Collins, senior vice president voice and data, AT&T Mobility
Additionally, AT&T also has announced the pricing on the Nokia Lumia 520 for its pre-paid GoPhone service. This is essentially the same model that T-Mobile's pre-paid service has been selling out as the Nokia Lumia 521. The Nokia Lumia 520 will be $99.99 with no contract necessary. It is a low-end model, but does include some pretty cool features including Cinemagraph that brings motion to your still shots. The camera has the ability to capture super-wide-angled pictures, and the Smart Shoot feature lets you choose from 5 different shots of the same scene to put together the best picture. Nokia's mapping and navigation apps are also included.
The Nokia Lumia 520 for GoPhone will have HSPA+ connectivity, but will not hook up to AT&T's LTE network. The phone will be available on July 26th.
