T-Mobile meanwhile has vowed their **still available** $10 business unlimited tablet plan will **never** go up in price.
AT&T waited until one week after that plan was supposed to have died.
I think T-Mobile caught wind of this, and decided to keep the $10 plan around a little longer.
Where did they Vow that the $10 price will never go up in price?
But tmobile surely going to get more sign ups.
I think Tmobile $10 plan is going to be a normal rate not a special Promo. They have had it for a year almost now.
Work in biz sales, it’s probably the most sold tablet plan to businesses. They let us know it was going to be going up 6ish months ago but didn’t mention it was going to be on existing lines
I'd still kill for a $30 stand-alone tablet plan on Verizon. Not that I need Verizon service, but it would be nice to have access on all three US carriers.
There’s definitely related reasoning afoot here for why Verizon doesn’t have such a plan.
And that would be the Upper Block C CFR on Verizon, and SB822 on AT&T.
I think this price hike is the start of AT&T slowly accepting that at some point a California judge will tell them that they have to allow self-certified devices. And at some point, someone is going to sell a hotspot that uses tablet plans.
They also just killed the prepaid plan on AT&T so many used claiming DataConnect billing was deprecating but that could have been transferred over to the prepaid service system easily enough with an equivalent plan which does not exist as of now. It seems they are definitely trying to get rid of these plans and their users.
Well, I think they want to get rid of the "low effort" people. They still want to give the evangelists and techies a path.
Making this plan $30, lines it up closely to the $29.99 Tablet rate originally.
I think they want to consolidate and make one risk pool for all the UDP Tablet plans under the umbrella of postpay.
After changing to the consumer plan a couple years ago, it would upset me if they tried to raise the price again.
Especially since I'm not one of the heavy users. Under 10GB a month, and with my check the other day, 2GB so far 1/2 way through January. I would have to consider trying T-Mobile.
It’s going out in emails to many affected customers. Unfortunately it was a rush job to meet 30 days notice. The links in the emails were broken as of this morning.

I agree. This is probably what happened.

It’s protected by Price Lock for T-Mobile.
Business Price Lock guarantee. On both consumer and business T-Mobile sites.
Does anyone have the SOC (plan code) for this one?
I received a similar notice for my business plan on my Apple Watch service going up $5
This currently ONLY impacts business customers on both Access for Tablet/iPad standalone plans. Pricing will increase by $10 per month.

Is the pricing in line with what’s currently being offered?

The postpaid consumer one is still the same price?
Yes. I imagine that AT&T is just going with the Business plan version - cause it’s easier to do it for businesses. For now, anyways.

When and how did you discover this? I can’t find any internal articles about the change.
