AT&T Revamped Its Unlimited Phone Plans. Here’s How They Compare

AT&T Revamped Its Unlimited Phone Plans. Here’s How They Compare

Published by skeptic

AT&T switched out its unlimited data phone plans with new 2.0 versions that end up including more features and costing less than the old plans when you add in a recent price hike on retired plans. But that wasn’t enough, apparently, because the 150-year-old company also just added a brand-new tier for customers who don’t mind paying extra. If you’re an AT&T customer suddenly bombarded by notifications about upgrading, or you’re looking to switch from another carrier, here’s a breakdown of the new offerings. These plans replace the AT&T Value Plus VL, Unlimited Extra EL and Unlimited Premium PL plans. The carrier also removed its Unlimited Starter SL plan, which served as the entry-level plan (you had to know where to look to find the limited, but cheaper, Value Plus VL plan). Keep in mind that AT&T plans let each person on an account have their own plan. So you might set up a package where one person has the Premium 2.0 plan for unthrottled 5G speeds and another, such as a child, is set …

AT&T’s New Subscription Bundles Unlimited Mobile and Home Internet, but Not for Current Customers

AT&T’s New Subscription Bundles Unlimited Mobile and Home Internet, but Not for Current Customers

Published by skeptic

AT&T is looking to broaden its reach with a new subscription service that combines home internet and wireless service for phones and wearables. AT&T OneConnect, launching today, includes gigabit broadband plus unlimited mobile data for up to 10 voice lines and 10 data devices such as wearables and tablets. OneConnect offers three pricing tiers, billed monthly: Individual – $90: One member, one voice line, up to three data devices and one household with 1Gbps internet. Duo – $120: Two members, two voice lines, up to six data devices and one household with 1Gbps internet. Family – $225: Unlimited members, up to 10 voice lines, up to 10 data devices and one household with 1Gbps internet. One notable detail is that the OneConnect subscription prices listed above include taxes and fees, a practice that’s quickly becoming increasingly rare among major carriers. On many plans, including AT&T’s newest wireless plans, those costs are added on top. For comparison, an AT&T bundle for two people with unlimited wireless and gigabit-speed home internet would cost about $225, including two lines on …

AT&T Raising Prices for Legacy Unlimited Plans Starting in April 2026

AT&T Raising Prices for Legacy Unlimited Plans Starting in April 2026

Published by skeptic

Last week, AT&T introduced its newly revamped unlimited phone plans, but that’s not the only change to its services lineup. On a support page that went live around the same time, the carrier revealed that the prices of its “retired” unlimited wireless plans — the ones customers who haven’t upgraded are still using — will go up by as much as $20 starting next month.  AT&T is implementing two price changes in April. If your account with a “retired” plan has a single line, the price goes up $10. If you have two or more lines on an account, the price increase is capped at $20 for the account. Perhaps to offset the sting, affected plans will get an extra 20GB of hotspot data each month. AT&T’s support page reads, “This change helps us continue providing reliable network service, quality products, and great customer experiences.” In a statement to CNET, an AT&T spokesperson said, “We recognize that any price increase matters to our customers and their budgets. This increase reflects the real cost of continuing …

AT&T Revamps Its Unlimited Plans With Simpler Names and More Data

Published by skeptic

AT&T updated its unlimited data phone plans to 2.0 versions on Thursday, launching AT&T Premium 2.0, AT&T Extra 2.0 and AT&T Value 2.0 options. In software, when products get boosted by a full version number, it means there’s plenty of new material. But does this move signal an overhaul of the company’s 5G lines or just a cosmetic refresh? These plans replace the AT&T Value Plus VL, Unlimited Extra EL and Unlimited Premium PL plans. However, the carrier also cut its Unlimited Starter SL plan, which served as the entry-level plan (you had to know where to look to find the limited, but cheaper, Value Plus VL plan). Essentially, all but the highest-tier plan are slightly more affordable; while the AT&T Premium 2.0 plan is pricier than the one it replaced, it offers unlimited high-speed data and much more hotspot data. If you’re looking to upgrade your existing AT&T plan, shopping for a new provider or looking to compare carriers, keep in mind that AT&T plans let each person on an account have their own …

T-Mobile Added a New Unlimited Phone Plan, but Is It a Better Value?

T-Mobile Added a New Unlimited Phone Plan, but Is It a Better Value?

Published by skeptic

If you’re looking for a phone plan that includes plenty of perks for three or more people, T-Mobile’s new Better Value plan is appealing. The company is calling this a limited-time offer, but without a timeline for when it’s available, so now is a good time to check it out. As with all phone plans, be sure to read the fine print. In our lists of the best cellphone plans, best unlimited data plans and best T-Mobile plans, we rank T-Mobile’s Essentials plan highly. After reviewing the specifics of the Better Value plan, the Experience More plan — the No. 2 unlimited postpaid plan — presents a more interesting comparison. Let’s see how they stack up. Better Value plan pricing and features compared For an account with three lines, the monthly cost of the Better Value plan is $140 (with AutoPay active), plus applicable taxes and fees. Experience More similarly costs $140 a month for three lines. The Essentials plan costs $90 per month for three lines, but lacks most of the add-ons that make the other two plans appealing. …

This cloud trick gives you unlimited photo storage for free

This cloud trick gives you unlimited photo storage for free

Published by skeptic

Every cloud storage provider plays the same trick. Google Drive starts out with 15 GB, iCloud has just 5 GB, and Dropbox has a measly 2 GB. You’ll fill that free storage within a few months of phone photos at best, and suddenly you’re wondering which subscription to purchase. Now I still back up my files manually, apart from self-hosting my own cloud storage. But if you want to keep sending photos to the cloud, there’s still hope. There’s a cloud trick that can give you unlimited photo storage for free, and it’s absolutely worth exploring if you frequently find yourself deleting old photos to make space for new ones. How Telegram became a secret cloud drive Saved messages are basically private storage Telegram was built as a messaging app, but its cloud infrastructure is ridiculously generous. Every message, file, and piece of media you send is stored on Telegram’s servers indefinitely, and there’s no overall storage cap. The only limiting factor is the 2 GB per file size limit for free users, which increases …

Best Unlimited Data Plans for 2026

Best Unlimited Data Plans for 2026

Published by skeptic

“5G” is an umbrella term that encompasses the current fifth-generation cellular wireless network technologies. All the major carriers and phones support 5G connections, which can offer faster data speeds than older technologies such as 4G LTE or 3G. Essentially there are three types of 5G: Millimeter-wave (mmWave), which can be fast but has limited range; low-band 5G, which has slower speeds but works on a broader range; and midband, which is a balance between the two that’s faster than low-band but also covers a larger range than millimeter-wave. Midband also incorporates C-band, a batch of spectrum auctioned off by the Federal Communications Commission in 2021. Your phone’s 5G connection depends on which type blankets the area you’re in, as well as other factors, such as population density and infrastructure. For instance, mmWave is super fast, but its signals can be thwarted by buildings — or glass, or leaves — or whether you’re inside a structure. When your device is connected to a 5G network, it can show up as several variations such as 5G, 5G Plus, 5G UW or others, depending on …

Best Unlimited Phone Plan: T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon Compared (2026)

Best Unlimited Phone Plan: T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon Compared (2026)

Published by skeptic

“Unlimited” is a funny term. Unlimited cell phone plans often come with a long list of footnotes, terms, conditions, and exceptions. Mercifully, all of the Big Three cell companies have, by now, ditched throttling on their most expensive plans and include 5G data access in all their unlimited plans. Yet there are still many differences in the services they offer, and there are many differences between each carrier’s various tiers. Cheaper “unlimited” tiers do offer unlimited talk and text. But they still have rules on how much data you get before they start throttling your speed, and some “unlimited” plans may throttle your data at any given time. It’s been a fixture of cell service plans for years. It can be overwhelming, which is why I’ve broken it down. Below, I’ve highlighted what each of the three major carriers offers for “unlimited” individual and family plans to help you figure out which unlimited plan is best for you and your budget. If you absolutely want to avoid slower data speeds at peak times, you’ll likely …
