AT&T is increasing the price of their legacy unlimited data plan again, DSLReports has confirmed.

In February 2016, AT&T bumped the price of the plan from $30 to $35/month. Now it's going up another $5/month.

"Our Mobile Share Advantage plans and our AT&T Unlimited Plan provide several benefits that our legacy unlimited plan doesn’t," AT&T said in a statement. "If you have a legacy unlimited data plan, you can keep it; however, beginning in March 2017, it will increase by $5 per month."

AT&T has been trying to get users off its unlimited data and been fined by the FCC for misleading its customers about unlimited mobile data plans.

You got your wish, AT&T. I'm switching to another plan - just not *your* plan.

Absolutely unbelievable . The FCC should go after them again, they will undoubtedly keep raising the price to be equal to the other plans eventually. This is absolutely reprehensible they get with this , let alone claiming unlimited internet regardless if you could download 20gb a data 7 years ago or not.

Again? I switched to Tmobile two months ago. I am happy with it and the speed is better than AT&T in my area. No regret at all.

I believe you should be able to. It'll only be like $65/month for unlimited LTE data. Take it into a Cricket store and they can check it for you.

So they're forcing them to switch by exponentially increasing the price, nice.

Cricket is sooooo much better. It's the same coverage, same phones, same network and much less money

Last time they rise the price and if you still under contract, you can switch to other carrier without ETF.

Yep, I called them last time they raised the price and had them cancel my contract without ETF, but kept my line active because I was not ready to switch carriers yet. I am now month-to-month with them and still have grandfathered unlimited plan. This new increase is nonsense.
