AT&T Latest Carrier to Allow Customers to Rollover Unused Data

On the heels of T-Mobile’s announcement of their new “Data Stash” program that allows users to roll unused data into the next month, comes a similar move by number one wireless carrier AT&T.

The Rollover Data plan will be available free to the carrier’s 50 million users who are on one of the carrier’s Mobile Share Value plans.

“Rollover Data is an added benefit of being an AT&T Mobile Share Value customer and it’s just another way that we’re saying thanks to our more than 50 million plus Mobile Share Value subscribers,” said Glenn Lurie, President and CEO, AT&T Mobility. “We’re providing even more value and flexibility, and the best part is it’s simple, shareable and easy to track for our customers. All Mobile Share Value customers get this automatically.”

AT&T’s plan works as follows:

• All levels of AT&T Mobile Share Value plan customers automatically receive the Rollover Data feature – no signing up, no additional cost.
• Rollover Data can be shared with everyone on the same Mobile Share Value plan.
• If you do not use your full allotment of plan data in a given month, the extra amount automatically rolls over and is available to be used within the next month.
• Within a given month, you will use your plan allotment first, before you begin using your Rollover Data. Unused Rollover Data does not carry over.

While T-Mobile’s program allows rollover data to be used for up to 12 months, AT&T customers can rollover unused data for only one month.

The rollover feature will be automatically enabled on all AT&T Mobile Share Value plans starting January 25th.
