AT&T has announced that beginning on February 13th, it will begin to offer a new DataPro plan with an extra 2GB of monthly data transfer to supplement its launch of the new Mobile Hotspot app on the HTC Inspire 4G the same day for $45 per month. In addition, DataPro customers already on the plan at the $20 monthly rate will have their tethering allowance increased to 4GB per month with no increase in the monthly rate.
In related news, AT&T has also announced a new partnership with electronics recycler FlipSwap to offer a new trade–in program and credit towards any AT&T device via AT&T retail stores, also on the 13th. FlipSwap works by determining the trade in value of a particular device, filling out a form and sending in the device via prepaid mailer for a debit card good for the value of the device according to FlipSwap, with the AT&T partnership facilitating the value estimate in real-time.
