AT&T jumps on the band wagon, launches unlimited plan

ATT

We don’t know if Verizon’s Unlimited Plan announcement had anything to do with it, but AT&T announced today an unlimited plan for the same $99 as Verizon. The plan will be available starting Friday, February 22, and like Verizon’s, it only includes voice calling, data and messaging will cost extra. The plan will be available to both existing and new customers, and anyone can get it month-to-month with no contract. We find AT&T’s plan very good for consumers.

Unlike Unlike Sprint’s version, the AT&T Centro uses EDGE data for a somewhat slower browsing experience; besides that, though, it features a 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, Bluetooth 1.2, support for AT&T’s push-to-talk service, and a full QWERTY keypad. Price with contract and rebate is $99.99.
