+1. If you're using an Android device, also check the permissions before you download an updated app - sometimes they change, and never in favor of giving you more privacy.
I'm on Verizon, but DH has AT&T and hasn't had any trouble. Still, if you're in a major urban area, they did just release the new iPads...

Side topic: I heard that ATT is ending it's unlimited data plans, even for existing customers. I dropped ATT a couple of years ago because of constant dropped calls, but this info might be useful for ATT users.

Not sure what phone you have, but my iphone 3GS gets slower and slower with each operating system upgrade. I know I need a new phone soon but I'm putting it off for the moment.

Not sure. I was on the land line side of things for umpteen years. Originally Posted by tulip

Quite honestly many customers might (and none of this is policy or anything, just something I sensed, found, feel as a former employee) do as well or better with one of the "tiered" plans with no slow down, just keep an eye on the use than to stay with unlimited.
If you do things like download data from work, home, wifi hot spots when possible most don't even get near the limit.

DH has one of the unlimited plans that's grandfathered. Funny, now I am using more time than he is. And because of the family plan we have, I am not grandfathered (I didn't have data until this fall). I haven't noticed anything different with my phone.
OK, last week I noticed my I Phone 4S now has 4G instead of 3G. Weird? We didn't change anything.2015 Trek Silque SSL
