CellOne launches new data share plans

CellOne customers can now get one data plan that will work on both their smartphone and tablet. For $9 extra a month, customers can share their existing phone data plan with their iPad or other device — allowing them to stay connected without having to purchase two separate plans.CellOne chief operating officer, Frank Amaral said with so many people now owning multiple devices, it made sense to start offering a data sharing plan.“When we launched our popular SharePlans last year where you can add people to share your minutes and text messages for only $9/month, the response was tremendous,” Mr. Amaral said.“Today’s world is moving towards data connectivity and everyone’s getting iPad’s and tablets, but signing up for a separate data plan is an expensive option. We thought we could help make it more affordable so now for only $9/month, customers can add their tablet to their existing smartphone plan and share.”The data sharing plan is available on the company’s 1GB, 3GB and 7GB smartphone plans and allows customers to add another two devices to their plan.Mr. Amaral says $9 is an affordable option for people who want constant connectivity.“In these tough times, it’s difficult for people to shell out an extra $45 or $75 per month just to have their tablet always connected.”
