Hi, at first I wasn't sure what the new plans would mean for new lines or hardware. However I have now confirmed that the $15 per line per month is only valid on existing lines. If you add a new line and you get the phone through AT&T, then the cost for that line on the data share is $40 per month. However if you bring your own device, like if you purchase the phone from another place, not AT&T, then you can get it added for $15 per month. It's like the goal here is to make money off the phones, rather than the minustes like before. No matter how great pricing plans are, there are always gotchas. I was able to successfully change over my 5-line phone plan to this new pricing and save about $100 per month. However I might as well put that $100 in the bank to save up for the next time I want to upgrade a new phone because it will cost me less to buy it separately through Amazon or some 3rd-party place. I won't do the next program since that is even more of a cost.

Does one lose anything by switching from the original Mobile Share to
one of the Value Plans? In my particular case, I still have my iPhone
4s, am out of contract and have a 4GB original Mobile Share plan.  I got
the plan to use FaceTime over 3G, as well as for the Mobile HotSpot
feature.  I keep talking about getting an iPhone 5S; but, well, what
with all my other family members still having the 4S, I just haven't yet
been able to justify the purchase for myself.

Also, although I could be wrong; but, when reading their information,
AT&T seemed to be saying that folks would need to either pay full price
for their phone, or go on one of the Next plans, or bring their own
device to retain the discounted pricing.  Thus, this would almost seem
to imply that, should someone want to go back to having a phone
subsidized, they would be able to do so but at the higher price.

Subject: Re: AT&T Mobile Share Value Plans - Worth Checking Out

I saved over $100 on mine per month.  So yeah, it's worth checking into
if you are on AT&T.  Their latest pricing plans AI think are made to
compete against T-Mobile.

I apologize for what seems like an advertisement but I'm just hoping to
save someone on the list a few bucks.  With all the ads I've been seeing
from AT&T about their Mobile Share Value plans, I thought I'd call to
see if they might save me some money versus my current AT&T wireless plan.

I ended up saving at least $25 a month and went from 450 minutes of talk
time to unlimited minutes.  I'll still be getting the same amount of data
and the unlimited texting I already receive.  This had no effect on my
existing contract which has about another 11 months on it.

For those with existing AT&T plans, you might want to give them a call
to make sure you're getting the best price.
