AT&T Raises Fees On Smartphone Data, But Adds More Data To Monthly Plans

The price of a monthly wireless data is going up at AT&T, but the company is also throwing its customers a bone by increasing the ceiling of those plans.

The carrier’s three basic smartphone data plans will all increase by $5 a month starting on Jan 22 along with an increase in the amount of data that one can consume before kicking in the dreaded overage charges. New AT&T customers will have the choice of three data plans: 300MB of data for $20 a month, 3GB of data for $30 a month, and 5GB of data for $50 a month.
