The stolen data includes the phone numbers of not only AT&T customers but also external carriers, likely ones which interacted with one of the breached accounts. The data also includes the number of calls and texts made as well as an daily aggregate of call duration and in some cases cell site IDs the phone connected to.

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.
