AT&T introduces adjustable Build-A-Plan mobile service
Build-A-Plan offers mobile plan personalization starting at $15 per month. The base plan includes unlimited talk and text plus 1 GB of data. Customers can add data each month with options of 5 GB for $5, 15 GB for $10, unlimited data with SD streaming for $20, or unlimited data with UHD streaming for $35. The base plan does not include hotspot capability, but hotspot data can be added for $5 for 5 GB, $15 for 25 GB, or $20 for 50 GB. Hotspot data cannot exceed the selected data plan. The initiative positions monthly tailoring as a way to control budgets while connecting to AT&T’s network amid increasing competition and commodity-like wireless pricing.
"Build-A-Plan starts at $15 per month and allows customers to adjust their plan on an ongoing basis to meet their budget, lifestyle, and connectivity needs, according to the press release. The base $15 plan features unlimited talk and text and 1 GB of data. Customers can add more data every month: 5 GB for $5, 15 GB for $10, unlimited data with SD streaming for $20, or unlimited data with UHD streaming for $35."
"The base plan includes no hotspot, though hotspot data can be added for an additional monthly charge: 5 GB for $5, 25 GB for $15, or 50 GB for $20. Hotspot data cannot exceed the selected data plan.

""By giving our customers the freedom to tailor their wireless service month to month, we are giving them an affordable way to connect to America's largest wireless network and still control their budget. It is a win-win." Wireless services are becoming a commodity as providers proliferate and compete for market share. For instance, Breezeline launched a mobile service within its video and broadband footprint last May."
"In November, TDS Telecom announced the widespread availability of TDS Mobile, which it said is a nationwide 5G network. Prices for the new service start at $13.95 per month for the by-the-gig version and $29.95 per month for the unlimited offering.
