I have an unlimited data plan with ATT and my husband doesn't, but he uses a lot more data then I do per mth, so he wants to trade his data plan with mine. However, Att will not let us trade the data plan even when we are under the same family plan. Att will only let us trade our phone numbers in which the data plans come with.

    Hi Anna,

    Unfortunately the policy is correct in that the unlimited data plan for a smartphone follows the phone number (line) and cannot be transferred. The only available option is to swap numbers with your husband.
