Network provider AT&T has somehow managed to convince the penniless public that by raising the cost of its mobile data packages is in some way better value for money.

They will be selling mobile phone data packages which, apparently, gives the consumer a little more wiggle room with regards to their monthly tariff’s. The carrier has pinned the balme for these price-hikes on the unprecedented levels of broadbabnd data usage – forcing them to rethink their data plan offerings.

Smartphone customers face an ongoing battle with the network providers as the cost of mobile data continues to soar whilst the service is, at times, inadequate.

Those people who are finding their mobile phone costs too high in these difficult economic times are falling back on mobile phone recycling as means of pocketing some quick cash and perhaps downgrading to a slighlty more cost-effective model.
