I got a text saying AT&T added me a data plan.

I've been using my iphone 4 without data on a $20 a month unlimited talk and text plan , I recently got a text from AT&T saying I had a new plan and that they added a data plan. How much more money will my monthly bill be with this new data plan?

The minimum data plan is $20 per month. Data plans are required on all smartphones. This has been a requirement for several years.

kdfederer...Is this the standard data plan that ATT adds if someone is caught using a smartphone without a data plan?? 

[Joseharo209]

Kdfederer so will they just add an extra $20 dollars a month to my bill?

[Joseharo209]

So will my bill just be 20$ more ?

According to the TOS, they will add the largest data plan available.

6.3   What Are The Voice And Data Plan Requirements?

A voice plan is required on all voice-capable Devices, unless specifically noted otherwise in the terms governing your plan.

An eligible tiered pricing data plan is required for certain Devices, including iPhones and other designated Smartphones. Eligible voice and tiered pricing data plans cover voice and data usage in the U.S. and do not cover International voice and data usage and charges. If it is determined that you are using a voice-capable Device without a voice plan, or that you are using an iPhone or designated Smartphone without an eligible voice and tiered data plan, AT&T reserves the right to switch you to the required plan or plans and bill you the appropriate monthly fees. In the case of the tiered data plan, you will be placed on the data plan which provides you with the greatest monthly data usage allowance. If you determine that you do not require that much data usage in a month, you may request a lower data tier at a lower monthly recurring fee.

Are you 100% sure they will add the most expensive plan?

[Joseharo209]

[Joseharo209]

[Joseharo209]

[Joseharo209]

Oh and what is a tiered data plan?

[JefferMC ACE - Wizard]

A "tiered data plan" means a data plan with multiple levels depending on usage.  According to their TOS, they can add the most expensive one to your account.  You could call and have that lowered.  I would advise you do to so, and ask the CSR any further questions you may have.

[Joseharo209]

Ok thank you because I've heard they add the smallest plan and I've heard they add the biggest also . So it is not 100% certain they added the most exspensive right ?

You can contact Customer Care to change to a lower data plan, should you need it.
