O2 Pulls an “AT&T”, Kills Unlimited Data Plans for UK iPhone 4 Customers

From DailyTech: Last week, AT&T rained on everyone's parade when it announced new data plans for its smartphones ahead of the iPhone 4 launch. AT&T announced that its DataPlus would limit customers to 200MB of data downloads during a month for a price of $15. The new $25 DataPro plan ups that monthly cap to a more generous 2GB.

The $30 unlimited data plan is no longer available to new AT&T customers, however, current customers already on the unlimited data plan are grandfathered in and can even keep the feature when upgrading hardware.

Now, we're learning that UK wireless provider O2 is jumping on the bandwagon by putting data limits on customers who sign up for the iPhone 4. Customers will be able to choose data in 500MB, 750MB, or 1GB packages -- that's it. Even for customers that have unlimited minute plans, data is still capped at 1GB per month.

Customers who go over their monthly allotment will be able to get an additional 500MB of data for £5 ($7.30) or pay £10 ($14.60) for an additional 1GB of data.
