Screenshot by Sean Hollister/CNETAT&T is reportedly raising the price of its grandfathered unlimited data plans to $45 per month starting July 2018, according to a company support page (via MacRumors).
These unlimited data plans keep getting more expensive. Even if you snagged an affordable rate years ago, you may still have to pay more. AT&T’s unlimited data plans used to be $30 a month in 2015, before it was raised to $35 in 2016, then again to $40 in 2017.
Despite the hike, $45 a month may be your best option on AT&T. Current AT&T unlimited data plans can cost either $65 or $80 a month for one line. It’s cheaper if you add more people though, at $160/$190 a month for four lines (that’s $40/$48 per line).
Meanwhile, Sprint just kicked off an insanely low $15-a-month unlimited data promo.
AT&T didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
