Just a friendly reminder! Last month AT&T started up a promotional plan for their Family Share Plans, doubling the data you can use per month for the same price. Those promotional plans will disappear after October 31st. It’s a pretty solid deal if you’ve got a number of devices on one plan.

All New & Existing AT&T Customers: Add a Line of Service, Receive $100 Credit
Whelp it doesn’t get more straightforward than this.
Now through the end of March, for each new smartphone, tablet, mobile hotspot, or wireless home phone you add, you get $100. New customers or existing, add something new to your plan and AT&T will drop off a C-Note.
Between all the various credits and plans, our carriers are getting really creative with ways to entice customers to begin or continue service. This latest move from Big Blue looks like it’s targeted at combating some of the recent gains made by T-Mobile in the PR arena.
If you’re an AT&T customer, does this help sweeten the deal? Are you looking to add a tablet or another line to your account? Drop a comment below!

#ATTDevSummit: AT&T to ease the burden of data caps with Sponsored Data
Data mobility often comes with limitations, caps or throttling. This can have a chilling effect on customer use and innovation. Developers might shy away from data driven services if their target audience can only use those apps on WiFi.
AT&T took the wraps off their Sponsored Data program today at the AT&T Developer Summit. Essentially Sponsored Data is a “toll free” data service similar to how a 1-800 telephone number works. Companies sponsor a site or service, and customers wont get hit with data usage on their bill.
It’s a novel model at working around some of the existing business models which often place more burden on consumers’ pocket books. Now various 3rd party companies can provide additional value to their users, while encouraging more data mobility services.

T-Mobile selling 16GB Nexus 5 for $449. Should you buy it?
Google’s newest pure Android phone is officially a part of the T-Mo roster.
Lil’ Magenta is listing the new Nexus 5 for $449 if you want to buy it outright through the carrier. If you’re buying the phone upfront though, it might make more sense to buy it direct from Google Play where the handset will cost $100 less.
Why you MIGHT want to buy it through T-Mo is if you’re looking to subsidize and pay for it over time. A down payment of $41.99 is required, but then your monthly payments are only $17 over two years. I’s certainly an option, but if you can afford to buy it outright, that’s the better deal.
Full PR after the jump.
