Yesterday, AT&T announced new Mobile Share Value plans that were pitched as making subscriber’s monthly rates cheaper if you already own a smartphone.

It seemed like a pretty honest move. Most carriers bill you a set monthly that includes a fee designed to pay off your smartphone’s full prive over a two year period, which is common knowledge. What isn’t common knowledge is that on most carriers, even if you bring your own smartphone to your contract or fully pay off your device, the carrier will continue to bill you for that smartphone subsidy in perpetuity. It’s super sleazy, so AT&T’s move seemed like a refreshing dose of honesty.

That’s not how T-Mobile sees it, though.

AT&T’s new Mobile Share Value Plans are now official, and they’re not only going to save you cash on your data, but they’re going to make your monthly rates even cheaper if you already own a cellphone and you’re happy to hold onto it.

The plans are designed to help AT&T be more competitive against new offerings from T-Mobile and Verizon, and they’ll be available starting this Sunday.

LG G2 Snap

AT&T is in the process of pushing out a fairly minor over-the-air (OTA) update weighing in at just 57MB to all its carrier-branded LG G2 handsets located in the United States. Although it doesn’t bring any major software improvements, it’s still quite a significant stability update that we would strongly advice all G2 owners to download and install.

AT&T has officially announced that its offering HTC’s flagship smartphone of 2013, the One, completely free of charge on any of its 2-year contracts in celebration of Cyber Monday. This promotion will be available for the rest of today and will expire at 23:59 PDT later tonight.
