iPhone U.S. Carriers Doubling Their Data to Attract Customers

The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus along with all the current promotions from the major U.S. carriers make it difficult to choose your data plan in October. AT&T iPhone double data plans are followed by similar deals at Verizon and Sprint.

Verizon double data deal is available to users who will sign up for the plan in October 2014. Sprint double data promotions also make you subscribe before October ends. Thus it’s only up to the customer which mobile company to choose to get double data for the previous price.

Only T-Mobile is not participating in this competition.

AT&T offers 30GB of data for $160 a month. This is the most expensive deal on the market. Both Verizon and Sprint offer the $130 double data plans but with Verizon you get 30GB of data and with Sprint you get twice more or 60GB of data per month.

Still you are advised to see the network rating before you select your plan.

Firstly, there might be additional costs per line and upgrade etc.
