AT&T Shared Data Plans: Are They Right for You?

Don't Forget About Hotspots

With shared data plans, AT&T doesn't charge extra to use a smartphone as a wireless hotspot. So why pay $10 per month extra to connect a tablet, or $20 per month to connect a standalone hotspot or laptop? Use your phone's hotspot functionality instead. It's cheaper and more versatile--and a lifesaver if your home Internet connection ever goes down.
