I'm about to upgrade my iPhone to the newest one so I'm curious how that will play out with keeping my unlimited plan.


My understanding is that as long as you stay with the same type of device and tell them you want to keep unlimited data, they can't take it away.
We have a business account with several unlimited plans and the only downside is an employee with an iPhone can't switch to an android and vice versa. I guess it's something AT&T is using to try to nitpick and find any way they can to take away unlimited.

I was actually told by an AT&T rep that I could change to a Samsung and still keep unlimited. I wouldn't put it past them to lie after this.

Nope, I ditched Apple for a Nexus 6 last year, and kept unlimited. Did the upgrade 100% online, too.

I do think AT&T will eventually phase us out. They'll con as many people as they can into ditching unlimited "willingly," and then they'll do what Verizon did and stop allowing subsidized upgrades unless you switch, at which point I'll be on Straight Talk.

Not true. I've gone back and forth a few times from iphone to android.

Never going back now, but still.

50-70gb a month.

LG.

In June I changed from an iPhone to an Android phone and kept my unlimited plan.
