Speed junkies everywhere, rejoice!
Specifically, unlimited talk, text, and data across 19 Latin American countries, all at no extra cost whatsoever for folks on AT&T’s top-of-the-line Unlimited Elite plan. Starting May 3, your $85 (and up) a month will cover, well, everything you could ever need to communicate and browse the web from your mobile device at the highest available speeds both in the US and international destinations like Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
The competition is not that far behind
Last (and least) on today’s list of changes, AT&T is consolidating its somewhat confusing and redundant Mobile Security and Call Protect tools into a single, powerful, and hopefully more efficient than ever app (pompously) called ActiveArmor.
Predictably enough, the AT&T ActiveArmor app will have a premium version of sorts too with “advanced” features like Public Wi-Fi Protection, Identity Monitoring, Caller ID, and Safe Browsing available for free only for Unlimited Elite and Unlimited Extra subscribers. That sounds a lot like T-Mobile’s Scam Shield Premium package (give or take a couple of features), which the “Un-carrier” also keeps restricted to its costliest 5G unlimited plan, so this particular value battle looks essentially tied to us.
