AT&T Will Give You Free Data For Completing Surveys

That program has now pivoted into something the carrier is calling Data Perks. Although Data Perks it’s an applaudable initiative, the success of the app will all depend on how good the prizes actually are and on how many MB can be won without actually spending money via the app.

Importantly, AT&T said the data customers transfer from their Data Perks account to an AT&T account will be used before their monthly plan data allowance. You aren’t going to earn enough free data to indulge in a Netflix marathon, folks. Twenty-five whole megabytes! “We are working on replacing line-level data transfers with the ability to share your earned data across users on the same Mobile Share Value plan”. Called Data Perks, those on AT&T simply download the app, browse through different offers curated from a variety of brands, and then complete tasks to receive free, usable data on your account.

The main problem is that it looks like you’re not getting very much data in this deal. Most offers only provide 25MB of data, 50MB at most, there are better options but they will require you to purchase or subscribe to something from a participating company. The additional data bundles come in packages of 25 MB and are kept within the application until such time as the customer wishes to spend them, when they may be quickly and easily transferred into the data belonging to that billing month. Even so, it might be worth your time in those times when you’re perilously close to racking up overage fees.
