Unlimited Plans
AT&T offers two unlimited data plans: Unlimited &More and Unlimited &More Premium. Both include access to more than 30 channels of live television on your smartphone via the WatchTV app.
- Unlimited &More ($80): Video streaming is limited to standard definition (480p) and LTE data download speeds are capped at 3 megabits per second. Mobile hot spot is not included with this plan.
- Unlimited &More Premium ($90): Includes 15GB of high-speed mobile hot spot data per month, which drops to 2G speeds after you use your allotment. Video can stream in HD if you turn off AT&T’s “stream saver” restriction. There are no restrictions on download speeds. Option to add on one premium service, like HBO or Pandora Premium, at not additional cost.
You can also sign up to auto-pay your monthly bill and save $10 per month.
