AT&T launches new wireless option for iPad users, offering unlimited data for $3 per day without a monthly commitment
AT&T Mobility has introduced a new wireless offering for iPad users called Unlimited Day Pass, providing unlimited data access for 24 hours at a cost of $3 per day.
Industry Analyst and Strategic Advisor Jeff Kagan says the new service could strengthen AT&T’s competitive position in the wireless marketplace and may attract new full time customers.
“Could this help AT&T grow its wireless subscriber base?” asks Kagan. “I think AT&T is the first of the three major U.S. wireless carriers to introduce this type of offering. If T-Mobile and Verizon do not match it, this could give AT&T a competitive advantage and help strengthen its position in the wireless marketplace.”
Kagan noted that AT&T has frequently been first to introduce innovative wireless services, solutions, and pricing options over the decades with good results. T-Mobile and Verizon sometimes follow.
“AT&T’s new Unlimited Day Pass sounds like it will be an attractive offer for many users,” said Kagan. “This gives customers a simple and affordable way to stay connected when they need wireless data without committing to a monthly plan whether they are already an AT&T customer or not.”
According to AT&T, users can activate the service directly from their iPad through the Settings app by selecting Cellular Data and choosing the AT&T Unlimited Day Pass. Service begins once payment is completed.
The offering is available to all iPad users regardless of their primary wireless provider. That means customers using AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Xfinity Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, Optimum Mobile, Cox Mobile, and other wireless providers can take full advantage of the service when they need mobile connectivity.
While consumers increasingly rely on Wi-Fi at home, at work, and in public locations, reliable service is not always available. The Unlimited Day Pass is designed to fill that gap by offering affordable connectivity whenever users need it.
“This service can be especially valuable for customers who occasionally need reliable Internet access while traveling, working remotely, or during temporary connectivity needs,” Kagan added. “Rather than paying for an entire month of service, users can simply purchase a day of unlimited connectivity at a time, when necessary, no matter who their primary wireless carrier is.”
Kagan believes the service could have benefits beyond immediate revenue.
“This offer is available not only to AT&T customers, but also to customers of competing wireless carriers,” he said. “If users try the service and have a positive experience, it could increase AT&T’s visibility and potentially encourage customers to consider switching providers.”
