AT&T Is Raising Its Unlimited Plan Prices, Check To See If You’re Affected

Do you use AT&T? You need to keep a close eye on your next bill

SlashGear

Even if you don't use AT&T, you've more than likely heard of the company's variety of unlimited data plans. These plans have taken many different forms over the years, with many going on to be discontinued to make way for new and improved plans. More recently, AT&T retired some of its longtime unlimited plans such as AT&T Unlimited Extra, AT&T Unlimited Starter, and AT&T Unlimited Premium. While you aren't required to switch if you're already on an unlimited plan that's been retired, keeping it won't help if you're trying to save on your AT&T bill.

What was surprising was seeing RCS support get forcefully enabled in iOS 18 beta 1. Moreover, Apple rolled out iOS 18 beta 2 earlier this week, which supports RCS on iPhone without any hacks. There’s one problem that still remains: The carriers.
