When Apple introduced FaceTime over cellular feature in iOS 6 last September, AT&T only allowed customers with a Mobile Share plan to use the feature.
Since then it has been slowly expanding access to the feature to other customers.

If you’re on AT&T, then starting this month you’re going to see an extra $0.61 fee added to your phone bill under the line item “administrative fee”. According to 9to5Mac, this fee helps “cover certain expenses, such as interconnection and cell site rents and maintenance.”

Few days back, a hacked carrier update enabled Release 9 DC-HSPA+ on the T-Mobile iPhone 5, which improved download speeds for some users.
Now Joe of iTweakiOS, the guy behind that hack, has released a hacked carrier update that enables Release 9 DC-HSPA+ on iPhone 5, iPad 4, iPad 3 and iPad mini for AT&T users.
According to AppleInsider, AT&T is sending out emails to iPhone 4S owners, telling them that if they hand over their device, and sign a new two year contract, they’ll get a “free” iPhone 5. Put another way, AT&T is buying your close to two year old iPhone for $200 and then giving you a $700 iPhone for free, with the only catch being you have to keep AT&T for another two years.
Makes sense?
As expected, AT&T has just launched its new “All in One” prepaid brand called Aio Wireless.
The prepaid service will be available only in Houston, Orlando and Tampa initially. Aio (pronounced “A-O”) expects to rollout the service in multiple markets across the U.S over the next year.
AT&T is reportedly planning to launch new prepaid plans under its “All In One” brand for smartphones and feature phones to better compete with rivals Verizon and T-Mobile. The plans are supposed to be unveiled around June 15th.
Last month, when T-Mobile USA announced that it will finally offer Apple’s iPhone, it also revealed that it will support iPhone 5′s Wideband Audio or HD Voice feature, which makes it the first carrier to support the feature in the U.S.
Wideband Audio or HD Voice extends the frequency range of audio signals transmitted, resulting in crisper word clarity and more natural sounding speech.
