AT&T cell phone plans fall into a few different categories. The new Unlimited Your Way program lets you choose different plans for each member of your family. Whether you're new to AT&T or looking to switch smartphone plans, here are your options currently available.
AT&T's New Plans: Explained! (2024)
AT&T’s basic plan is pretty comprehensive, offering unlimited calling, texting, and internet access anywhere in North America. While 5G is supported, connection speeds are largely dependent on network congestion, and video streaming is only standard definition. If you watch movies or play a lot of online games on the go, you’ll probably want a more robust plan.
The Unlimited Extra plan includes everything in the Starter plan plus 50GB of premium data, meaning you’ll get almost instant web access until you hit your data limit. The Extra plan also lets you use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot, sharing internet access with other devices. The only downside is the lack of HD streaming support.
Unlimited Elite is the wireless carrier’s most fully-featured plan. It includes everything in its other plans, including the option to launch a personal hotspot. Not only does it support 4K Ultra HD video streaming, but it also comes with a Max plan. Best of all, your connection will never slow down based on how much data you use. AT&T also has a Signature Program for businesses, which gives employees discounts of up to $10 per month on every line, so check with your workplace to see if you qualify.
