> **[AT&T's latest promo doubles your data on shared phone plans](https://www.engadget.com/2014/09/27/att-mobile-share-double-data-promo/)** > > Given the avalanche of new smartphones this fall, there's a good chance that your data use is about to spike as you put that fresh hardware through its paces.... ‘Given the [avalanche](http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/11/moto-x-review-2014/) [of new](http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/03/samsung-galaxy-note-4-hands-on/) [smartphones](http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/16/iphone-6-and-6-plus-review/) this fall, there’s a good chance that your data use is about to spike as you put that fresh hardware through its paces. If so, AT&T might just have you covered. It’s running a promo between September 28th and October 31st that doubles the amount of data you get with its Mobile Share Value plans, whether or not you’re a new customer. Signing up for the special rates nets you up to a hefty 100GB per month of shared data at the high end. However, the starter offer is arguably the best – $130 per month (plus line fees) gets you 30GB to play with, which should hopefully accommodate your family’s Netflix viewing habits. AT&T’s deal isn’t necessarily as sweet as what you’ll get with Sprint or T-Mobile, which start at a respective $100 and $140 per month for roughly the same service. However, it’s competitive enough that it could keep you on Big Blue’s network for a little while longer.’ :bigtup: ---

I suspect most people who still have unlimited would be better off if they didn’t have it at this point… (factoring everything in) when I switched to the shared deal one my users had to drop it and we are saving something like $1000 a year… that pays for a lot of overages. ---

I will never leave ATT since I got granfathered in. 450 min with roll over (so like 3000 min in reserve) unlimited data unlimited text unlimited mobile to mobile $81/month Plus, I have gone to Canada a few times and got screwed up with a $200 bill for usage, I called and they credited me back and are pretty easy to deal with. Only thing I hate is they limit unlimited users after 5GB due to congestion but they can give new signups 10GB no problem. ---

To those on the Mobile Share plans with ATT, do you have a discount? If so does it it get applied to the main bill “data” and each line you add? Last I asked ATT they said no only the Mobile Share part would have the discount applied which doesn’t make it worth it for me to switch away from the traditional family plan we are on.
