AT&T to scrap affordable data options for GoPhone users

AT&T Mobility is limiting the data options on its cheaper prepaid GoPhone plans. However, the carrier said it will launch new GoPhone plans in the next few weeks.

"Beginning June 20, we're making some changes to our AT&T GoPhone prepaid plans to simplify our offers and better align with what customers are choosing and telling us they want. We've begun letting customers know about the changes in advance, and we'll have more information on new, additional plan options soon," AT&T spokesperson said.

The $25 monthly plan, which includes unlimited text messages and 250 minutes of voice calls, currently has the option to add a 50-megabyte plan for an additional $5 a month, a 200MB plan for $15, and a 1GB plan for $25. After the changes, the only available plan will be the $5, 50MB plan, which is a frustratingly small amount of data for any smartphone user.

The current $50 plan, which includes unlimited calls and text messages, also requires an additional data plan. But under the changes, those add-on options will no longer be available.
