This past spring, both Verizon and AT&T raised the price of their wireless services. Now both carriers have shared that customers on legacy plans will be seeing another increase between $2.50 and $3/month per line.
The increased prices from both Verizon and AT&T are set to take effect in August.
AT&T has begun emailing customers and published a new support document about its upcoming change to anyone with the older “Unlimited Elite” plan. The notice reads as follows:
“We’re increasing the monthly charge on our retired Unlimited Elite plan. This increase will allow us to continue to deliver the great wireless service you expect. You’ll see the price increase starting on your August bill.
Phone lines added before August 1, 2022, will increase by $2.50 per line.
Wearables, tablets, non-phone devices, and any lines added on August 1, 2022, and after aren’t affected by this change.”
Verizon has also started emailing customers about its price bump. Legacy unlimited plans are going up by $3/month per line. Verizon has stated that “No action is required” for those that want to stay on their legacy plan but it invites users to “explore our new myPlan” options.
Verizon launched its current myPlan plans back in May.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
