I am personally a huge fan of AT&T’s GoPhone plans, and they just got even better: now AT&T is offering an “unlimited” plan for $60 a month and 6GB for just $40 a month, both with AutoPay.

Starting today, AT&T will offer add an “unlimited” option for all GoPhone prepaid plan users amidst the unlimited data war that’s going on in the US right now. I put quotation marks around the word because the carrier specifies that it will “temporarily slow data on a line during a plan cycle after 22GB of usage during periods of network congestion.” So while it isn’t truly unlimited full-speed LTE data, it’s a considerable increase from the old $60 plan which gave you 8GB of high-speed data. The normal price for this plan will be $65, but if you sign up for AutoPay, it will come out to be just $60.

The company has also decided to make some changes to one of its current plans, now offering 6GB of high-speed data for just $40 after AutoPay. The regular price is $45, and this will seemingly replace the current $45 plan which gives you 4GB of high-speed data. Both of these plans will feature rollover data, meaning any unused high-speed data will be carried over for one plan term.

The best thing about AT&T’s plans ­– at least for me – is that you get unlimited calling and texting as well as data allowance in Mexico and Canada for select plans. I travel to Canada frequently, and the ability to go from AT&T to Rogers without having to buy or swap out my SIM card is extremely convenient. So if you visit those countries often, that’s something to consider.

AT&T offers Multi-Line discounts if you’re looking to add family members to any of the GoPhone plans, and according to the carrier, you could save up $600 a year, depending on your plan and the number of lines added. And for those looking to buy a phone to go along with one of these plans, phones like the Samsung Galaxy Express 3 or the LG Phoenix 2 are currently discounted $20 for a limited time.

It looks as though AT&T hasn’t yet updated their website to reflect the changes at the time of this article’s publication, but my guess is it will be updated later today.
