AT&T Unlimited Data Plan Petition

  • by: Chia Asiegbunam
  • recipient: At&t needs to offer an unlimited data plan for the above average consumer!
We, the future users of the Apple iPhone, living in the United States, would like to see an unlimited data plan at a reasonable price, comparable to those seen in other Carriers, (i.e. Verizion, Sprint, & T-mobile)

Increasing numbers of users have paid several hundred, and in some cases more than $1000, during one month for data usage that would have not been charged extra on any other North American carrier on their best data plan.

We, as customers are all requesting At&t to do the following: Readjust the 2GB limit to more representative industry standard levels.

Data-intensive iPhone software such as Google Maps integration (maps, directions and satellite imagery displayed seamlessly) from http://www.google.com/glm can be accessed via the new iPhone software. Out-of-the-box, the iPhone models  support the capability to do full HTML web browsing with images, flash, Java and JavaScript, Email (POP3 and IMAP) quick accessibility (including Yahoo Mail fetcher in the background), Various Internet Messenger Applications, Safari Web Browser with multiple tabs (demanding more bandwidth), various widgets (stock reports, weather, etc.), likely Flickr upload integration, full multitasking abilities (including, but not limited to, viewing webpages while downloading email), and other software now pre-installed on the iPhone that use even more bandwidth. This is expected "normal" non-excessive usage of the iPhone, on top of Calling, SMS and Voicemail (visual voicemail also uses data). 2GB by today%u2019s standards are nowhere near average usage.

At&t Data Plans need to be more consumer-friendly and small-business friendly.

Additionally, There is no way to self-monitor data usage, until the end of the billing period. It is easy to accidentally exceed the data limit before you receive the bill. We would like to be able to check our data usage easily, through a simple webpage.

Also, using WiFi is not always readily available to most consumers, and after a recent upgrade, iphone as added the option to become a hotspot. How do you expect consumers to be able to accomplish this with only 2GB of data?

Readjusting the data plans will help At&t sell more iPhone subscriptions, bring more iPhone users online, make the iPhone more consumer-friendly, make it easier for At&t stores to sell iPhones, and make it easier for people to switch from Verizion to At&t. This benefits At&t's stores and representatives, and At&t customers as a whole.


Sincerely,
Faithful customer
