The one-line price for the AT&T Value 2.0 plan looks hefty, but the moment you add four lines, you bring the price down to $30 per line.

Amazingly, this is actually the cheapest you can get an AT&T wireless line per month, and it’s worth it. You get everything you need, including unlimited data (can be slowed down if the network is busy), international perks, and AT&T’s free ActiveArmor security app. For someone who’s interested in the basics and direct access to AT&T’s premium network with some extra perks, this plan is for you.

This AT&T Premium 2.0 plan bundles unlimited talk, text, and high-speed data with access to AT&T's 5G LTE network, so you're not throttled or capped on regular usage. It also includes a generous 100GB monthly hotspot allowance, which is well above what many plans offer.

The main downside is cost: starting at $90 for a single line is on the pricier end, so it only makes sense for someone who wants premium unlimited data and a big hotspot buffer and is willing to pay for that.

AT&T Elite 2.0 includes the most generous amount of hotspot data at 250GB per line per month. Unlike all AT&T’s other unlimited plans, its data speeds don’t slow down based on how much you use. Plus, its international benefits are robust for those who prioritize this kind of feature.

Elite 2.0 also includes AT&T Turbo, which usually costs $7 per month on other plans. Turbo speeds up your phone’s data performance for enhanced video calling, gaming, and live streaming.

Like Verizon (and unlike T-Mobile), you can mix and match AT&T’s family plans so that each member on the main plan can have a different individual plan.

Its five plans range from $20 to $60, and each one offers unique perks such as different hotspot data allotments and even something called AT&T Level Up that allows new customers to become postpaid customers with access to the latest devices after six months of on-time payments (regardless of credit score). AT&T prepaid plans are perfect for customers who want more flexible month-to-month commitments and would like to snag an overall cheaper AT&T plan.

Here is a current online deal that can save you a lot over a year—you can pay for one year of an AT&T prepaid unlimited plan for $20 per month. It includes 10GB of hotspot data. The only requirements are that you prepay $240 for 12 months of service, purchase a phone or SIM, and activate a new single line. Be aware that after 16GB, your data slows (but that’s OK because most people use 10GB or less per month).

AT&T 55+ plan

$35.00/mo. per line, with two lines

Anybody who is 55 years old or over can get an exclusive unlimited plan with 60GB of hotspot data for $35 per month per line (with two lines). This price includes a $10 autopay and paperless billing monthly discount, and you can still access the AT&T Signature Program’s $10 per month discount if you’re a qualified employee, student, or authorized individual. But don’t try to cheat the system because if you don’t verify your age, AT&T tacks on an extra $20 per month.
