Earlier today they revealed a new set of nationwide plans for unlimited talk and text. An Unlimited Talk plan now costs $69.99, a full $29 cheaper per month. Unlimited Talk and Text now costs $89.99. Family plans and low-end data plans have also been overhauled (the $19.99 3G data package no longer exists). These new prices will not impact existing customers unless they change their plans (which requires no contract extension or penalty).<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t take long for AT&amp;T to respond, though. It just announced its own price cuts, matching the price of Verizon\u2019s unlimited voice plan ($69.99) and unlimited talk and text ($89.99). The iPhone, labeled by AT&amp;T as a smartphone, costs $99.99 for unlimited voice and data, while texting plans remain unchanged ($20 for unlimited). And just like Verizon, AT&amp;T customers can switch to these new plans, starting on Monday, without penalty or contract extension.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>If you want all of the details of the new package plans, you can read the announcements from Verizon and AT&amp;T, but the point is that all of us iPhone and Droid subscribers can start enjoying lower price starting Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t you just love all-out competition?
