Understand how wireless usage is billed

Find out how you’re billed for your wireless data, talk, and text use.


DETAILED INFO

Learn how wireless usage billing works

How you're billed for wireless usage depends on your plan. Sign in to view and compare your plan.

To view details of what's included with your current plan, go to your Customer Service Summary.

Understanding data usage overages

If you need more high-speed data before the end of your bill period, you can change to another plan. Learn about AT&T unlimited plans.

For data plans with overage charges

  • Data usage is rounded up to the nearest MB for all devices on your plan.
  • The shared usage may be more than your monthly plan allotment (plus any other data allotments, such as Rollover Data). If so, you’ll be automatically given extra data. This will be charged as overage data in accordance with your rate plan.
  • Overage data must be used in the billing period it’s provided and doesn’t roll over. Please see your Customer Service Summary to view your overage charge rate.

Charges for talk and text usage

Talk and text usage included in your plan

Sign in to view your usage now.
  • If your plan doesn’t include unlimited talk, your voice usage is rounded up to the nearest minute. It may happen that you exceed your plan’s voice allotment and any Rollover Minutes. If so, we’ll add Anytime Minute overages and you’ll be billed at your overage charge per minute. Please view your Customer Service Summary for your overage charge per minute.
  • If your plan doesn’t include unlimited text, you will be charged for each message that exceeds your messaging allotment. Charges apply for each text/picture/video message sent and received that exceeds your plan's limit. If you don't have a messaging plan, pay-per-use rates apply. Please see your Customer Service Summary.
  • You may not see all your calls and texts on your usage log because:
    • iMessages (iOS) and Advanced Messaging (Android RCS) over Wi-Fi won't show in your text logs.
    • iMessages and Advanced Messaging over the mobile network will show as data, not as text.
FYI: If you want to see all messages in your text log, you’ll have to turn off iMessages or Advanced Messaging for your device.
