AT&T to Allow Grandfathering of Unlimited iPad Data Plans to iPad 2
AT&T is doing its grandfather thing, which it has been doing historically, at least of late. Those iPad owners who were able to get unlimited data plans prior to AT&T removing it as an option, in 2010, will be able to keep those plans if they move to an iPad 2.
It's not really a new idea: AT&T did the same thing when the iPhone 4 was launched, allowing those how had past iPhones with unlimited data plans to keep those.
Those not lucky enough to have the unlimited option ($30) will have to make due with 250MB for $15 or 2GB for $25. Customers who hit their limit may choose to purchase an additional 2 GB for $25.
Verizon Wireless will tier its monthly data plans as follows: $20 for 1GB; $35 for 3GB; $50 for 5GB; and $80 for 10GB.
That said, they will probably sell tons of iPad 2s starting March 11.
