AT&T has revamped their data plans that will take effect on June 7 for all new smartphone contracts. These new plans will finally bring iPhone tethering (iPhone OS 4.0 will be required) while slamming the door on unlimited data for a set price. These data plans also apply to iPad 3G owners.

AT&T has announced two new data plans priced at $15 for 200MB and $25 capped at 2GB per month. If you go over 2GB on the higher-end plan you will be charged an additional $10 for another 1GB of data use. Tethering the iPhone will cost you an additional $20 per month when iPhone 4.0 arrives, most likely at WWDC.

Current ‘unlimited data’ plans for existing iPhone and iPad customers will still be in effect. However, once your contract renewal comes up, you may have to say bye to unlimited data.

These new plans may be the start of ushering in the age of metered broadband where you will pay for what you use. Something I have no issue with. Some iPhone users may actually see a savings from this switch as more than 98% of iPhone users (according to AT&T) are below the 2GB data usage. If you use WiFi a lot at home and work and use apps that load map data onto the device instead of fetching it from the network, like TomTom or Navigon for GPS when traveling you probably fall into this category.

UPDATE via AT&T’s Facebook page:
Customers on the current $30 smartphone ‘unlimited’ data plan can keep that plan when upgrading hardware (new iPhone or iPad) without switching to the $25 / 2GB DataPro plan if they choose. However, if you want the $20 tethering option it will require the DataPro plan.
