NEW YORK — Verizon Wireless will start offering the iPhone on Feb. 10 with a draw that AT&T Inc. no longer offers to new subscribers: a plan with unlimited data usage. But The Associated Press has learned that some AT&T iPhone users on limited plans won't need to move to Verizon for all-you-can-eat data.
In an unadvertised loophole, AT&T has allowed subscribers who have had an unlimited data plan in the past to switch back. That includes anyone who had an iPhone before June, when the limited plans took effect.
Jose Argumedo, of Brentwood, N.Y., says he and a friend were switched to an unlimited plan recently after they called AT&T's customer service. Both have iPhone 4s, and previously had earlier iPhone models.
AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel wouldn't confirm the option to return to an unlimited plan.
"We handle customers and their situations individually, and we're not going to discuss specifics," he said.

I'm sure that loophole(sic) will be fixed within five minutes of an Antique Telephone & Telegraph exec seeing this article.
It’s my opinion that the competition from Verizon will eventually force AT&T to re-institute unlimited data plans.
my niece has the unlimited AT&T plan and isn’t giving it up
Keeping AT&T customers from dumping AT&T once Verizon comes on board.
Not gonna work with me. Gonna kick them to the curb as soon as I can, if only for their miserable dropped calls and spotty service.
I can live with 2GB per month. What ticks me off is that I would have to pay $20 month more for tethering. I can see them caring how MUCH data I use but why should it matter what I’m using it for.
I have always had an unlimited plan per my contract. I’d switch in a second if they changed the terms.
I have an HTC Incredible (my third Android phone), on Verizon. I bought an app called PdaNet two years ago at a one time cost of $35, and with it I can tether anything to my Incredible smartphone 3G service — my laptop, my netbook, and even my desktop (if my home broadband goes down).
Works like a charm — very reliable.
Cause they can get it.
