Question 4

What is AT&T’s most affordable phone plan?

Accepted Answer

The most affordable cell phone plan for you will depend on your needs and how many people are on your plan. There are three main types of wireless plans available: unlimited, capped (or tiered) and pay-as-you-go (or prepaid) plans.

Unlimited cell phone plans are phone plans with unlimited data, talk, and text services. AT&T offers three unlimited plans:

AT&T Unlimited Premium® PL is available for $50.99/month per line when you get four lines, plus taxes and fees.
AT&T Unlimited Extra® EL is available for $40.99/month per line when you get four lines, plus taxes and fees.
AT&T Unlimited Starter® SL is available for $35.99/month per line when you get four lines, plus taxes and fees.

Learn tips on how to choose the best unlimited plan for you.

AT&T also offers the AT&T Value Plus^SM VL plan and the AT&T 4GB^SM plan. The Value Plus VL plan may be an affordable option for single-line users since it offers unlimited talk, text and data for $50.99 per month per line plus taxes and fees. One thing to note is this plan does not include a hotspot data allowance like the other unlimited plans.

Pay-as-you-go (also known as prepaid) plans enable you to pay upfront only for a set amount of service (minutes, texts, and data) you use. With this type of plan, you pay every month or every few months, and you're only committed to it for the amount of service you purchase ahead of time. Learn more about AT&T Prepaid plans.

Question 10

Do you need a 5G plan to get 5G cell phone service?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to use 5G service, you’ll need to have a cell phone plan that provides access to 5G service, be in a location with 5G coverage available, and have a 5G-capable cell phone. All of AT&T’s unlimited plans feature 5G access.*

5G phones without a plan with 5G access will still function using 4G LTE, but you won’t be able to enjoy 5G quality service. For example, if your plan only offers 4G service and you have a 5G phone, your phone will only get a 4G level of service. That’s why, to enjoy your phone’s full potential, it’s so important to have a wireless plan with 5G access. Keep in mind that to enjoy the full 5G experience with a 5G phone and a rate plan with 5G access, you’ll still need to be in an area where 5G is currently available.

AT&T unlimited plans offer unlimited talk, text, and data in and between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico at no extra cost.* The AT&T Unlimited Premium® PL plan also offers unlimited talk, text and high-speed data in 20 Latin American countries at no extra cost.
