AT&T has confirmed that its GoPhone customers can now access its HSPA+ and LTE 4G data networks. The change means that owners of devices such as the iPhone 5 or other LTE-capable equipment will be able to browse the web at faster speeds.
“Starting today, new AT&T GoPhone customers have the option of connecting to our nation’s largest 4G network if they purchase a 4G or 4G LTE device at full retail price or bring their own 4G or 4G LTE device,” said AT&T.
GoPhone customers who already have HSPA+ or LTE-capable equipment will receive an over-the-air update that enables HSPA+/LTE network access on June 12.
GoPhone customers have to be on the $25, $50, or $65 monthly plan in order to access the faster data speeds.
