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.

We had a feeling that the lineup of unlimited plans we got word of earlier this week were too good to be true, and sadly it was. Verizon has made their Unlimited Plans offical, offering three plans that can each have additional lines added for an additonal cost. The $99/month Basic Plan includes limitless calling only, messaging of all types and data still cost extra, while the Select Plan ($119.99 per month) offers messaging but you will still have to pay $1.99 per MB of data. The Premium Plan is the one that’s really unlimited, offering up unlimited everything for $139.99 per month or $269.99 for two lines. With this news we are let down.
