What is AT&T Turbo?

Get excited—AT&T has a feature that’ll blow your mind! AT&T TurboSM is an optional add-on for eligible AT&T cell phone plans. It offers enhanced wireless data connectivity for improved real-time responsiveness while gaming, live streaming, or making video calls.

Let’s explore AT&T Turbo and answer some of the questions people like you are asking.

What is AT&T Turbo?

AT&T Turbo is an optional wireless add-on that can enhance activities requiring data, like mobile gaming, live streaming, and video chat. It works on 5G-capable smartphones on the AT&T network, and excludes roaming and Wi-Fi®. AT&T Turbo puts network resources directly in your hands with an improved level of wireless service.

Req’s compatible device/plan. 5G coverage not available everywhere. Learn more at att.com/5Gforyou.

How does AT&T Turbo work? 


AT&T Turbo optimizes your AT&T smartphone plan’s premium and hotspot data by upgrading it to performance data.

AT&T Turbo doesn’t provide extra data. It also doesn’t apply to messaging or voice. If you exceed your existing data allotments, your normal network management applies.

During peak network congestion, AT&T Turbo benefits may not be noticeable.

On AT&T Unlimited Extra® EL after 75GB, AT&T may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy.  
On each eligible plan, after you exceed your hotspot allotment, your hotspot speeds are slowed to a maximum of 128Kbps. 

How AT&T Turbo improves mobile gaming

Whether you’re conquering virtual worlds, mastering speed runs, or competing in online tournaments, you know that latency and jitter can impact your performance. Ready to level up your gameplay?

For $7 per month, AT&T Turbo can boost your eligible mobile data, giving you smoother play, real-time responsiveness, and improved stability for gaming on the go.
