AT&T Inc., the second-largest U.S. wireless carrier is introducing service plans aimed at families that use lots of data, cutting $40 a month from premium users’ bills.
Under the new offer, families with four smartphones can pay $160 a month for 10 gigabytes of shared data, unlimited calling and text messaging, the company said in a statement yesterday. A similar package under AT&T’s previous plan would cost $200, and Verizon Wireless charges $260 for the same plan. The offer requires no contract, and phones must be purchased at full price either up front or in installments.
