Data Sense finally on ATT branded phone.

[John20212]

I am really happy to see that Microsoft has put Data Sense into WP8.1 even on ATT phones where it was disabled by ATT until now.

I hope it stays that way.

Anyone else noticed this in WP8.1?

yes I noticed it but do not really plan to use it. I usually use the *3282# to get my data usage.

I'm guessing you are running the Developers Preview software and not the AT&T tuned software where they remove Data Sense. Let's hope they leave it in.

Yes, Dev Preview, but it is an encouraging sign; since in WP8update3[gdr3] preview data sense was removed even though it came direct from MS. I am hoping MS is going to end this BS of allowing carriers to ruin the OS by removing key features even on unlocked phones that have been fully paid for.
If ATT goes back to blocking this feature in the normal release I will look into legal means of preventing them to do so, since I no longer use my phone on ATT I don't want them to be limiting my features on other carriers networks.
