AT&T GoPhone upping its data limits, adding unlimited calling to Mexico on $60 plan

When it comes to getting prepaid service through AT&T’s network, StraightTalk and Cricket might prove to be some of the best routes, though with the former you get less than great customer service if things go wrong and with the latter you have to be okay with having your download speeds restricted to no higher than 4MBPS for HSPA+ and 8MBPS for LTE.

For those that have a need for speed and want the best customer service possible, AT&T does offer its own branded service in AT&T GoPhone. Of course, AT&T GoPhone tends to be more expensive than the aforementioned options, but thankfully they are now sweetening the deal a little by bolstering the amount of data included in their $45 and $60 monthly plans.

Starting February 20th, AT&T will up high-speed data to 1.5GB from 1GB for the $45 plan, and $60 monthly plan users will see an increase from 2.5GB to 4GB. As before, you will continue to have data access even if you use up all your high speed allotment, though AT&T will throttle your connection to near dialup speeds of just 128KBPS.

In addition to upping the amount of data, the $60 plan also is adding unlimited calling to Mexico at no extra charge. While the $45 plan doesn’t include this perk, both plans allow unlimited texting to Mexico, Canada and over 100 other countries. Now that AT&T has improved its deals a bit, you think they are worth signing up for?
