VZW ReIntroduced & Began Offering NEW VZW UnLimitedData plans

Hello Sarai,
Here is what I think is happening.
It appears that you have the original A T & T
unlimited, or legacy unlimited, plan. That
plan, which is no longer offered, cannot be bundled with current services.
Now A T & T does offer new unlimited plans that,
for example, among other things, allows you to
use your phone as a hotspot but, to take
advantage of this, you must let go of your old unlimited plan.
I have been struggling with this decision,
myself, so I know of what I speak. (smile)
Now you may be wondering why anyone would
continue to hold onto the old, legacy, unlimited
plan. The answer is a little complicated but,
in a nutshell, because of FCC rulings, in the
past, A T & T cannot throttle anyone on the
original plan. So, should you decide to opt
into any of the new unlimited data plans, at
some point, the speed of the data will be
throttled. In A T & T's defense, the amount of
data one is permitted each month, at high speed
is more than reasonable but ..
I don't remember the throttle threshold but I
think it's around 22GB per month. As much time
as I spend online, using my data, I have never
used more than 0.5GB a month. Okay, maybe once, I went as high as 1GB.
This entire subject is somewhat fascinating
because Verizon offered the same plan, back in
the day but, because they were not specifically
mentioned in the FCC ruling, they were allowed
to simply bump people off of their old legacy
plan. At that time, Verizon didn't even offer a replacement unlimited plan.
I’m certain that A T & T would have loved to
have done the same but, the FCC would not allow
it. As a result, A T & T cannot simply bump all
of us old-timers off of the only remaining truly
unlimited data plan in the country. They can,
however, isolate it from other service features
and increase the cost of the plan, as they have done several times, now.
At some point, you will have to decide if
hanging onto the legacy data plan is worth it to you or not.
As for me, as I am both a Verizon Wireless and
tMobile subscriber, with many options available,
I have decided to hang onto the old A T & T
legacy unlimited data plan a little longer. (smile)
I hope this helps clarify things, a little.

Subject: apple watch series 4 ATT users?
Hi all:
Are there any ATT cell phone users out there?
I have my own cell phone on ATT unlimited data.
Just bought a stainless steel apple watch, series 4.
I go to set up cell service and it wants me to
put the watch on a separate line for an
additional 25 dolars a month. Its not letting me do the $10 a month fee.
Help?
