GM's Chevrolet offers AT&T unlimited data plan

2017-05-11 09:27 ET - News Release

Mr. Joe Mosele reports

CHEVROLET OFFERS MORE OPTIONS TO ADD UNLIMITED DATA; CHEVROLET OWNERS CAN SIGN UP FOR AN UNLIMITED DATA PLAN AT AT&T STORES ACROSS THE U.S.

In response to the growing customer demand for more data, General Motors Company's Chevrolet and AT&T are making it easier for Chevrolet owners to add an AT&T unlimited data plan to their vehicle. Starting May 12, a Chevrolet owner with an in-vehicle OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot (1) and AT&T wireless account can add unlimited data to their vehicle at any of the nearly 5,000 AT&T retail stores in the United States by visiting AT&T's website or by logging into their MyATT account (2).

"With Chevrolet 4G LTE data plan sales jumping nearly 275 per cent in March yaer over year, providing customers with additional choices as to where and how they buy data was important to us," said Paul Edwards, Chevrolet U.S. vice-president of marketing. "Whether you are at a job site in your Silverado or letting your family stream videos on a road trip in your Traverse, Chevrolet owners will never be far from being able to sign up for an unlimited 4G LTE data plan."

"More and more car owners are seeing the benefits of unlimited data on the go," said Joe Mosele, vice-president of Internet-of-things solutions at AT&T. "We are pleased to make this feature widely available for Chevrolet owners in our retail stores across the country. It's now as easy as ever to sign up for in-vehicle unlimited data."

For $20 a month, the unlimited data plan allows Chevrolet owners to utilize the full potential of their OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and access all of their content and enjoy endless entertainment on the go without worrying about paying overages (after 22 gigabytes of data usage, AT&T may slow speeds).

Chevrolet became the first mass-market automaker to offer a 4G LTE unlimited data plan for all customers in early March. Since then, Chevrolet data usage has increased exponentially as owners have come to appreciate the ability to stream video on a tablet, send e-mail on a laptop or play on-line using a gaming console in their vehicles (3). Last month, Chevrolet owners used 415 per cent more data than in April, 2016.

As the first automaker to offer 4G LTE connectivity across its entire retail portfolio, Chevrolet has sold 3.5 million OnStar 4G LTE-connected vehicles since June, 2014.

OnStar 4G LTE, which is enabled by AT&T, was introduced across the Chevrolet portfolio for the 2015 model year in the U.S. and Canada. Today, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is standard equipment on all new Chevrolet retail models along with the OnStar basic plan (4), which also features remote vehicle access and the AtYourService marketplace through the myChevrolet mobile app (5) among other features.
