AT&T Offers ‘Rollover Data’ to its Select GoPhone Prepaid Users

AT&T Mobility is allowing a few of its GoPhone prepaid users to be a part of the carrier’s “Rollover Data” program. AT&T began to offer rollover data to their subscribers on Mobile Share Value shared data plans around late January.

From May 15 onwards, users who had opted for $60 and $45 monthly plans offered by the carrier will be permitted to roll over their unused data for the next 30 days. This, however, will continue as long as they can renew on time. All of the existing customers qualify for rollover data following renewal post May 15. To be able to use this service, consumers must be using a smartphone.

There are many other carriers too who have offered the data rollover facility for their prepaid users. T-Mobile US brought its rollover data program, which it stated as “Data Stash,” to its nominal prepaid users in late March. The plan was only made accessible to normal post-paid customer of T-Mobile and was available for a stipulated timeframe.

T-Mobile’s Data Stash as a plan has been made accessible only to those who opt for the plan with at least 3 GB of LTE data in the case of smartphones or, at least 1 GB for tabs every month. Additionally, T-Mobile provides every user with Data Stash 10 GB of LTE limit data for free. As a policy, users will lose any unused data post one year from the time it is deposited into their Data Stash.

Fortunately, prepaid MVNO TracFone Wireless launched its “Unlimited Carryover” plan in the previous year. According to the provider, the plan permits its customers to retain any unused minutes, texts and data for as long as their service remains active.
