AT&T Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Choice Plans Arrive This Week
What are the new AT&T Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Choice Plans?
Less than two weeks after announcing new unlimited data plans, AT&T is going back and making some adjustments. Beginning this week, the No. 2 carrier in the U.S. is introducing two new plans: Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Choice.
With AT&T Unlimited Plus, a single line will cost you $90 per month. It includes unlimited talk, text, and data at up to 4G LTE speeds. You’ll also receive video streamed in high-definition. However, by default AT&T lowers the video quality to around 480p using its Stream Saver plan. You can turn this off through myAT&T.
This plan also limits 4G LTE tethering to 10GB per month per line. After that, speeds drop to a maximum of 128 Kbps for the rest of the billing cycle. After 22GB of overall data use, AT&T can also slow things down.
AT&T Unlimited Plus offers two lines for $145 per month, with each additional line or device after that priced at $20 more per month.
For a limited time, AT&T Unlimited Plus customers can also receive a $25 billing credit towards DirecTV, DirecTV NOW, or AT&T U-verse each month.
AT&T Unlimited Choice starts at $60 per month for a single line and includes unlimited talk, text, and data at up to 3 Mbps speeds. The plan doesn’t offer a tethering option, and you can’t receive a discount for bundling DirecTV, DirecTV NOW, or U-verse.
Under this plan, two lines start at $115 per month, which each additional line or device costing $20 more per month.
Other devices on both plans can include tablets and hotspots.
AT&T previously announced unlimited plan offered a single line starting at $100 per month, with lines No. 2 and No. 3 costing $40 per month. Line No. 4 was free, bringing the price of four lines on one account to $180 per month.
Under the AT&T Unlimited Plus plan, the cost of four lines actually rises to $185 per month. However, this plan includes tethering and the DirecTV discount option, while the previous one did not.
