Buy an Atrix "4G" Lose Your Unlimited Data Plan

I kept my unlimited data.

That was the first question out of my mouth when I went by the shop to buy the phone. I was told quickly and unequivocally that I could keep it, and when the rep pulled up the screen to look at the features to add, indeed, unlimited showed up, and he selected it. I assume I do not have tethering as that issue did not come up, and I don't care about that. I do care about the umlimited data though.

From an iPhone to an Android just like that. I will have a learning curve, I am sure, but so far, so good.

I can confirm that I still have the unlimited data plan. Today I baught the Atrix. Long story short: at first I was told that I had to 'convert' my 3g unlimited to 4g 2GB in order to work. I asked then how much is my ETF, surprisingly i had nothing to pay, yey! I told the guy that I don't want to buy it nomore. He made me wait for a min, then he came back with good news. He said it was a misundersanding, I can get converted to 4G unlimited but, the only way I can keep unlimited is IF I DONT WANT THE THETHERING PLAN wich comes with the laptop dock or WITH THE MULTIMEDIA DOCK!!! Since I wasn't interested in any of those docks I got to keep my unlimited 3G (now 4G) plan. Otherwise the rep was pretty nice and helpful, but honestly my next move would've been right into the Verizon store for the Thunderbolt. So ATT won me for another 2 years. Now go back to playing with the Atrix.

Edit: And, yes, the phone was $199 after $100 instant rebate. Bottom of line: YOU CAN KEEP THE 3G/4G UNLIMITED DATA AND YOU'LL GET THE $100 INSTANT REBATE 🙂

hi I see your an AT&T employee I was wondering if you could email or give me a call I was wondering about the whole unlimited data plan and wanted to know if it is true about the whole swithcing my umlimited to the 4g unlimited?  email { Personal information removed }

Mr. Junior Warrior,

Thank you for the additional detail on this topic. I have a question for you. I have a Motorola Razr with MediaMax at $35 per month. Unlimited data and text. I can tether to my laptop and create my own wi-fi hotspot using Motorola Phone tools. I do NOT have an at&t tethering plan, I know how to configure the Phone Tools so I can connect. Will at&t let me keep my MediaMax plan if I get the new Atrix, pay the full $300 online (because I already called and they said I could not get the $200 price if I did this and in the store they only have the 'options' on the computer to pick from) will my MediaMax plan work with the Atrix? When I called at&t I was told my plan was not a 'smartphone' plan and when I asked how does the phone know, he couldn't answer the question. I love my Razr but also really like the Atrix and would like to get a new phone since my Razr is almost 4 years old and I am out of contract with at&t. Thank you.

This thread is so full of LOL, I picked up a Atrix 4G from off of ebay, pulled the sim from my iphone 4 and popped it into the Atrix, a coupple days later I got this email:

So this is proof, upgrade to 4G and you can kiss your unlimited data plan goodbye. I'm so broken hearted, I don't want to give up my unlimted data, they'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands!
