Altice Mobile Adds 1GB and 3GB Plans to Unlimited
Cable operator now offering wireless service for as little as $12 a month
Altice USA Today announced a broadening of its wireless tiers, adding 1-gigabyte and 3GB plans to its existing unlimited service.
Altice Mobile will now offer a plan that limits customers to 1GB of data usage per month, with unlimited talk or text. The tier costs Altice USA subscribers $12 a month (it’s $22 a month for those who don't subscribe to other core Altice USA cable services).
The operator also introduced a 3GB data plan costing $20 a month for customers ($30 for non-subscribers).
The operator’s unlimited data, voice and text plan now runs $30 per month per line ($40 for non-subscribers).
Altice Mobile launched back in September 2019, offering early adopters a lifetime $20-a-month price per line for unlimited service.
Altice Mobile reduces network speeds to 2G levels when customers exceed these data limits.
The service was launched by way of a MVNO agreement with the erstwhile Sprint, since acquired by T-Mobile. Altice Mobile added 34,000 customer lines in the second quarter, bringing total deployed lines to 140,000.
