I was researching some other NET10 issues earlier tonight and ran across the following...
Net10 Removes AT&T Data Caps And Goes Back To Unlimited? (Updated Again) | PhoneNews.com
UPDATED: TracFone's Net10 brings back unlimited data for AT&T SIM subs - FierceWireless
Both sources confirmed the change with NET10. I went into my NET10 account this evening and see the SIM is now referred to as "UNLIMITED". In reviewing the NET10 website, all references to the AT&T data cap have been removed and replaced with "unlimited".
All the same TOC are basically still in place about streaming, tethering, etc., being forbidden, but the 1.5GB hard cap appears to have been lifted. I did not receive a text or email from NET10 informing me of this change, as some others apparently have. As of this date I am unaware of any other AT&T MVNO offering "unlimited" data (other than Straight Talk - WalMart looks to again be selling an AT&T SIM for ST).
Speculation on the web elsewhere is that NET10's parent may be responding to a California class action lawsuit against Straight Talk concerning deceptive practices regarding "unlimited data" and service cutoffs.
One other change I see in the TOC is that NET10 now says they will give the customer a chance to fix whatever needs fixing concerning their data usage before arbitrarily cutting them off completely, which happened to my nephew a couple of months ago. Whether that in fact happens is a very open question.
NET10 Terms Of Service - Additional TOC apply to the Unlimited SIM service.
Note: The Fierce Wireless story uses the rates from NET10 including International Long Distance - Domestic Unlimited service is still available for $50 a month or $45 monthly using Auto-Pay.
