How do you guys know if your getting de-prioritized anyway? Only thing I can tell is if the tower is congested at the time due to slower speeds. Do you guys already have existing att wireless plans to compare to confirm it?
Got a tip for us?

What is the consensus on the safest way to sell this plan online? (IE eBay)
Physically mail the SIM and password to maintain PayPal seller protection?

Yeah pretty much, but there is no guarantees i think.
Im also looking for it on ebay, but currently they are dry, as people are listing for 2.2k or 3k ( they never get sold, guess they just try to trick people?)
Yeah mostly people have sold theirs, thats why its kind of hard to find these now.
Still looking on ebay , its pretty much empty

Yeah. I considered renting it out, but I would prefer to avoid the management aspects of it all.
Have a dedicated monthly income to offset all my other recurring telecom costs might be nice though.

you'll find that's not the reason if you do the math.
a rental give you ~$120/mo after paying ATT. which is a steady income. selling it can only give you ~24month of rental. so after 2 years you are pretty much getting the plan for free.
plus, the selling price is going up every year. about 2 years ago you can buy one on eBay for ~1k-1k3 pretty easily and now its almost 3k. almost a 1k/year increase.
so renting it gives you monthly income, plus the plan you hold has value increasing every year. then why do you want to sell it?
They might be obsolete in the future if other companies start to offer unlimited for a cheaper price, such as cricket or some other company in the future.
Also there is a small chance that the plan might get canceled by att in the future.
Besides these yeah i guess your correct, but you would just have to put in a little work.
Dont think many people would buy it for 150, wouldnt they just rather get one themselves?
I have unlimited data with Verizon and I average 100gb a month. I prefer having a portable phone that can give me that data and I have that. I used to have the att 29.99 and sold it because I didn't want to walk out with my iPad and phone. So with getting the Verizon plan I saved myself having two devices out with me
I doubt it will ever become obsolete... its the ONLY un-throttled, un-monitored UDP on the market, probably the only one ever existed.
the general trends of carriers are moving away from unlimited data.
yes, Tmobile has some 'unlimited' data, but is it really 'unlimited'? it's no where close to this plan.
and I also doubt att will ever cancel this plan. some reasons
1. the plan was introduced by apple. there's 'apple factor' in it... plus those customers who bought iPad so soon after it was released, are more likely to be high-paying high value customers, att don't want to loose them
2. the total amount of plan sold on this isn't that huge, it will not cause a huge impact on ATT's network, so they just in general don't care.
3. grandfathering is like a common practice in the industry, canceling a plan, especially an unlimited data plan, causes bad PR.
Well i bought the plan on ebay and found out that the plan was made on 7/15.
What should i do?
I don't know if the seller is that guy that made the plan cause he said that he bought it on 7/15 and he using the same pictures as the original seller, which was why i thought it was him who made it.
Should i call att?
Or
Just keep the plan?
Or ask for a refund?
Or tell ebay/ paypal?

Who was the seller?if you contact att can risk losing the plan ...dang I heard some people on ebay are cloning them and reselling...
And when you purchased it?that why I'm afraid of buying these plans now..so many clones
I wouldn't tell you if I knew would I Lol they sell hotcakes at near 2k atleast some people are minting money.I have no clue but there is a seller who is no longer on ebay his I'd was an a1infinite data and he used to spawn them somehow.could be someone working in att.
To be more technically correct I should say they knew how to spawn them.clone would mean a copy but no these are brand new accounts that are created and the way you can tell is you check the payment history and shows unlimited lte added om xx momth day etc..would love to know it's done
)..Someone figured it out..dunno how..they are same plans but created in 2015 or 2014 whenever it was spawned.
