Customers will be able to sign up for several different monthly plans, ranging from 200MB for $10 per month to 5GB for $50. OnStar subscribers receive a $5 monthly discount on the 200MB and 1GB tiers.
Unsurprisingly, the pricing structure matches AT&T’s own rates for mobile broadband service for individual devices such as tablets and notebooks. Service directly from AT&T for a mobile hotspot is limited to a 5GB plan, however, rather than the lower tiers offered via GM.
For existing AT&T customers, a supported vehicle can be added to a Mobile Share Plan as an extra device for $10 per month to share the data pool.
The upgraded connectivity suite will be available later this year for the 2015 model year, initially launching for the Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu and Volt, ahead of a wider rollout. The automaker is offering a free trial period of three months or 3GB to promote the new service.
