AT&T today announced select smartphone customers will soon be able to connect multiple devices from their smartphone – via Wi-Fi – thanks to the new AT&T Mobile Hotspot application. The feature will first be available February 13, beginning with the in-store launch of the HTC Inspire 4G. Bundled with the AT&T Data Pro plan, customers will benefit from a total of 4GB for $45 per month.

In addition, also on February 13th, to bring AT&T's smartphone tethering plan in line with the AT&T Mobile Hotspot offer, AT&T will automatically add the additional 2GB of monthly data usage to smartphone customers already on a tethering plan – at no extra charge. Customers will incur the same $20 monthly fee they're accustomed to paying, only now they'll receive an extra 2GB of data each month.

AT&T Mobile Hotspot details include:
● Connectivity for multiple wireless devices to AT&T's mobile broadband network
● 2 GB of data usage for $20 a month, bundled with AT&T's Data Pro plan ($25 / 2GB)
● The combined AT&T Data Pro plus AT&T Mobile Hotspot will provide 4GB for $45 per month
● 4GB applies to collective use among all devices
● Overage fee of $10 per gigabyte

Customers will receive a text message from AT&T – as soon as February 13 – once the additional 2GB has been auto-added to their plan.

Wow $45 for only 4gb? Wasn't 5 gb for broadband cards considered to be the "unlimited" cap by most including Att for $25-$30. And for pre July iPhone customers $30 got you unlimited use.... So with Att being the last one on the 4g race and the most expensive 3G plans maybe there is a lot of truth in that tmobile commercial. Sometimes you do have to pay more to be slower. And to receive less it seems! Trust me it works if you don't think about it!

wow they seem to be really following verizons footsteps all but 1 thing the 30 dollar unlimited plan probably soon to follow im sure att is talking about bringin that back as well. which pisses me off ! its ok to rip off customers! untill it isnt benifiting you because of the possablity of users leaving the netowork to go to another network for unlimited and onlythen will it be good enough to give there customers back the unlimited plan . they are really only out for themselves lucky for me i am on a unlimited plan and never getting off and i myself use about 5-6 gigs a month the fact that i have a slingbox and watch tv on my phone it sure does make 2 gigs a month look like nothing i can do 2 gigs in 10 days of just watching 2 hours of tv a day 5 days a week while on my lunch break.
