Shared data plans are now mandatory for AT&T Oct 14th 2013, 18:15, by Jared Newman If you have no interest in shared data plans for your smartphone, your options are becoming more limited. Starting October 25, AT&T will require all new customers to sign up for its Mobile Share plans. These plans include unlimited voice and text, plus a single pool of data for multiple devices. Existing AT&T customers can hang onto their traditional plans, with a set amount of voice minutes and text messages, and separate amounts of data for each device. Subscribers can also upgrade or downgrade their plans, and can purchase new phones without being forced onto Mobile Share. In some situations, shared data plans can save money. In general, they're worth looking into if you need more than the basic amount of voice minutes and text messages. They could also save money if you already pay for mobile hotspot or tablet connectivity, or if you're in a family that doesn't use much data.
