AT&T users tired of watching all their extra megabytes melt away at the end of the month have reason to rejoice — the mobile carrier just announced Rollover Data, an upgrade that allows customers to transfer their unused plan data into the following month.
The data that rolls over will only last for one month, which means, for instance, that if you have 5 GB that carried over from last month but only use 3 GB of it, you’ll lose the rest.
The announcement on Wednesday is AT&Ts latest salvo in the tussle with rival provider T-Mobile, which announced a similar rollover feature a few weeks ago.
But AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega told USA Today that his company, which had pioneered the rollover concept for voice minutes years ago, has been planning to launch Rollover Data for a long time.
