DALLAS (AP) — AT&T Inc. is rolling out additional wireless data plans for consumers doing more surfing, texting and emailing on their smartphones and tablets.
AT&T's existing customers will not need to change their plans but will have that option. New customers will only be able to select from the new set of plans, which take effect Jan. 22.
Smartphone customers currently pay $15 for a 200-megabyte data plan. The new option is a 300-megabyte plan for $20. Those who do a bit more on their phones can currently pay $25 for a 2-gigabyte plan, but will now have the option of a 3-gigabyte plan for $30.
Tablet users currently pay $25 for a 2-gigabyte plan. The new offerings include a 3-gigabyte plan for $30 and 5-gigabyte plan for $50.
AT&T says data usage among customers is increasing about 40 percent a year and it wanted to offer customers more data upfront.
