Mobile Share: New Tiered Set of Data Plans Expected Next Month

  • AT&T has unveiled a data sharing plan that is essentially identical to Verizon’s Share Everything.
  • Mobile Share provides tiered plans that allow customers to share data across up to ten devices. As with Verizon’s Share Everything, all Mobile Share plans come with unlimited messages and voice.
  • Prices vary slightly between Verizon and AT&T. The price distinctions are because AT&T offers different smartphone surcharges based on the amount of data purchased.
  • AT&T charges $15 per gigabyte in overage — the same charge as Verizon’s Share Everything.
  • “Individual plans are a key differentiator between the nation’s two biggest carriers: the introduction of Mobile Share has no effect on the availability of AT&T’s existing offerings, which means new customers won’t be forced into a data sharing arrangement if they don’t want it. Verizon, meanwhile, has phased out its entire postpaid portfolio outside of Share Everything,” reports The Verge.
  • Mobile Share is scheduled to launch in late August.
