New AT&T GoPhone PAYG and PYP Data Plans Surface:
PhoneNews.com can confirm new data plans going forward for AT&T GoPhone customers on Pay As You Go and Pick Your Plan.
Beginning early next month, customers will be able to choose between the 1MB option for $4.99 and 100MB for $19.99 but AT&T has decided to eliminate the $9.99 5 MB option from the new offerings for unknown reasons.
Customers with the 5 MB plan on Pick Your Plan now can continue to add the plan as they will be grandfathered in, but new Pay As you Go and Pick Your Plan customers will be forced to choose between the 1 MB and 100 MB plans after February 3rd as renewal of the 5 MB on Pay As You Go will not be possible afterwards.
Current first generation iPhone customers will still be able to add unlimited data access on Pick Your Plan service for the time being according to the latest internal communication from call center representatives, though the company has not finalized any unlimited data access changes for first gen iPhone users on Pick Your Plan.

That's assuming that this new package allows rollover which, as of today, we still don't know.
The unlimited data allowed for stackable "expiration dates" up to 90 days which it was nice since rollover wouldn't make sense. With the 100Mb is anyone's guess for now which approach will be taken: Stackable expirations, rollover and a cap (300Mb?) or neither.
I don't understand why those 100Mb feature cards were already available if you can't still use them to buy such package yet. I just checked the PAYG IVR and still offers only 1Mb and 5Mb.

True, but other limited services allowed rollover, so common sense dictates this will too. Oh wait, scratch the common sense logic, it's AT&T we're talking about 😄
Same reason for early availability, I suppose 😉
