Man they are trying to compete.. It's good to see though because the consumer wins :).

Re: NEW family data share plans start tomorrow

I am still a little confused. I won, outright, 2 Nexus 5's and a Moto X. Can I go to the AT&T store Monday and get this plan with no contract?

Yes. Basically, 10GB and more plans get any phone for 15 bucks. Less than 10GB is 25 for smartphones, 20 for basics. These have to be done as COAM or bought on Next.

Nope.

* Available with AT&T NextSM or if you purchase your smartphones at full retail price. You’re also eligible if you’re out of contract or bring your own device.
 
I'm gonna look into this plan with 2 lines tomorrow night I think. I hope it saves some money for us.
 
Just got off the phone with a CSR and my last billing cycle ended on 1/26 and got my new bill at 289.00 4 phones on the old 10 gig share plan 1 phone on the next plan. The CSR discounted my bill based on a formula they use for how long you've been a customer and if you pay your bill on time etc... So he ended up giving me a $204 discount and my bill is now $84 for the month!! Under this new plan with the 22% discount i get from my job my monthly bill will be $140.00 for all 4 lines. Feels good to finally get some payback for all the years i've been with ATT

Just sucks it took them so long :) .. Glad to see data prices becoming reasonable though.

New customers get a deal from this as well.

I have the same question as slave and please forgive me if this sounds like a stupid question or is "common knowledge", but would someone let us know what COAM stands for? I've learned a lot from people here and appreciate it very much! ☺

That is fine and dandy, but the bottom line, because i called and asked.. If you are a new customer and Sign a 2 year contract or your contract ENDS and you RE-SIGN a 2 year contract... You WONT GET the $10 Cheaper plans.... If you are out of contract, you MUST bring your own phone, or Or go with NEXT
 
I just got off the phone with cs and they converted my 4 line plan over. Was paying almost 250 now paying 160. Pretty happy. The only catch is that when any of my lines go to upgrade it has to be with the NEXT program or it goes back to the original pricing.

So you can convert over even if still on contract you just loose the ability to upgrade the old way and can only use at&t next now. Good to know that as I will be converting over next billing cycle as well. I'm at $290 and this would be a great deal less than I normally pay even with my employer discount.

I currently have two smartphones on a 2-yr agreement and an iPad tablet on a 6 GB Shared Plan for $170/mo. I just switched to the new 10 GB Family Shared Plan for $140/mo, saving me $30/month. I can still use my existing smartphones through my 2-yr agreement, after which I can keep them. This is great, since I'm now paying unsubsidized cell service for two phones that were purchased at AT&T's subsidized price. I confirmed this with AT&T via online chat.

The only catch, is that when and if I want to upgrade my smartphone I can't buy it at a subsidized price. I have to purchase it at full retail cost (either a one-time cost or as payments with the NEXT program spread out over 20 or 26 months). But since my wife and I always seem to upgrade early (and pay early termination fees), this seems like the best option for us.
 
Next or bring your own.

Using my existing for now. If I upgrade my phones it just has to be via the NEXT program and not a 2 year agreement or the old rates come back
