AT&T Rollover Minutes plan was available years ago when the first iPhone users as well as other smartphone owners liked to make phone calls and were not big fans of SMS messages and Internet surfing. This year T-Mobile introduced similar Data Stash option and updated AT&T Rollover Data plan surfaced once again to counter its competitor.
There is no need to speak about AT&T vs T Mobile data plan as both carriers are fighting for customers, and no one can disagree that both companies might have the same ideas. The new Rollover Data plan introduced by the Big Blue mobile operator doesn’t allow users to roll over their unused minutes into the next month like it was years ago, instead it focuses on data which is more popular nowadays.
If you have unused data you can roll it over into your next month’s billing period. Not all AT&T subscribers can get the new deal. Only iPhone users and other smartphone owners who are subscribed to the company’s Mobile Share Value plan are eligible to use Rollover Data option.
The company doesn’t charge for the new initiative. It becomes officially available beginning on January 25, 2015. Still note, that you can start using your unused data only in the next month and only once your full amount of data allotment has been used up.
The data can be used only in the next billing cycle and should expire after one such cycle is over, meaning the user will simply lose it.
It is interesting that the plan offered by T-Mobile in December does the same exact thing. Subscribers surely win when the major carriers focus on data and allow roll it over to the next month without additional charges.
