Apple watch 3 on grandfathered unlimited data plan?

It would have to be added as a separate plan which means the cost is somewhere between $40 to $50 a month.  (Line fee and separate data plan).  

According to the information it cannot be added to anything other than current plans.   If you really want it, it’s time to price the current plan, which for most is cheaper than the old plan.

The rep can add a wearable plan without touching or making any changes to your existing plan. Just ask the rep to add the $10 Wearable Unlimited plan to your Billing account, they will need the EID and the IMEI information from the watch's box.

 

If they have trouble understanding or can't figure it out. Just ask them to create a new group, Select individual plan vs mobile share plan and they will see the Unlimited Wearable plan for $10.

@dave006

actually that is way WRONG...  I know 2 people that had to change plans to get the apple watch added.  They both had grandfathered unlimited data plans.  It can only be added to the newer plans listed below

Eligible Plans for Apple watch

• AT&T Unlimited Plus℠
• AT&T Unlimited Choice℠
• Mobile Share Advantage℠

They were able to add my watch to the grandfathered plan for $10 but it was for 1GB (unlimited but it slows down after the 1GB) plus a $30 monthly fee to add a new group since I have 5 lines.  He did look at my current account and said even adding the watch @ $40 per month that what I had would still be cheaper than a new plan.  They also thought I would not use more than 1GB a month.

They likely did NOT add it to your GF plan. You likely got a whole new plan.

(Or they added a new line to that plan: $10 line and $30 data).

They created another $30 1GB plan on your and put a $10 wearable on your plan.

I'd be shocked if the a new plan would cost more than the $40 + taxes/fees. You've got a heck of a discount or phones still on contact for a few more months.

On Unlimited Plus you can do 5 lines + 1 wearable on unlimited plus for $215 before taxes and after $10 autopay discount. This gets you hotspot on each line, Canada/Mexico, free HBO and a current plan (and unlimited calling/data/texting).

It also gets you $25 off AT&T TV if interested.

@Ashtonc4488   I’m sure ATT doesn’t care if you pay more, but you might

But they didn't add it to your plan for only $10.

Not interested in changing that at this point.

I'm okay with that.

BUT at some point when they CANCEL that older plan or RAISE THE PRICE and the current plan isn't available any more you might wish that you had been interested...

@Ashtonc4488  

You can change plans any time.  That is, if the the plan and its perks are available.  The $25 discount on TV services is going away.  The ability to add a mobile hotspot is going away.  They can take away the free HBO too.   

The performance on the old plan and new unlimited plus are the same.  One or two people with a problem is not indicative of a change in service provided.  And definitely not a conspiracy.   Those folks with a problem need to pry off their tin foil hats and have the problem fixed by ATT, not spread untruths.   Let’s face it, it’s always far more likely ATT screwed up.
