In late August, AT&T is introducing Mobile Share plans that let subscribers connect up to ten devices to a pooled data plan. The base cost of a Mobile Share plan is for a monthly data allowance and one smartphone with unlimited calling and texting:
— 1 gigabyte $85 (each additional smartphone: $45)
— 4 gigabytes $110 (each additional smartphone: $40)
— 6 gigabytes $125 (each additional smartphone: $35)
— 10 gigabytes $150 (each additional smartphone: $30)
— 15 gigabytes $190 (each additional smartphone: $30)
— 20 gigabytes $230 (each additional smartphone: $30)
Subscribers can then add smartphones at the price above.
They can also add:
— Basic, non-smartphones for $30 each
— Laptops or laptop modems for $20 each
— Tablets and gaming devices for $10 each
The devices all share the same “bucket” of gigabytes.
AT&T undercuts Verizon at the simplest level with a single smartphone on a 1 GB data plan costing $85 per month ($40 data + $45 device), compared to $90 on Verizon ($50 data + $40 device), but adding additional smartphones to that 1 GB plan is more expensive on AT&T ($45 versus $40). Verizon's and AT&T's pricing are identical at the 4 GB level, while AT&T again takes the lead on higher-level plans with more data and devices. As an example, an account with four smartphones sharing 10 GB of data would cost $240 per month on AT&T ($120 data + 4 x $30 devices) versus $260 on Verizon ($100 data + 4 x $40 devices).
