Cheap data just got cheaper at AT&T [Updated with bad news]

I just got the nicest surprise on my iPhone. I don’t know how long this has been going on, but my AT&T Pay as You Go feature packs just got much, much better. If you’re a PayGo customer for an old iPhone like I am (I use PayGo with my 3GS), your $5 now buys you 50MB.

Here’s a quick comparison of the old and new allocation amounts.

Feature Pack Cost Old Allocation New Allocation
$5 10 MB 50 MB
$15 100 MB 200 MB
$25 500 MB 1 GB


If you want to learn about putting a PayGo SIM into your GSM iPhone, hop on over to this older post that describes all the details.

Update: Looks like bad news along with the good. I have not seen this myself. This screen shot is courtesy of @techclimb. I cannot confirm this policy change but I’ve reached out to AT&T for comment.
