Competition is heating up among mobile carriers’ so-called unlimited plans. Following Verizon’s launch of its third ‘unlimited’ plan, AT&T thinks it has the perfect response: it’s throwing in more than 30 live TV channels at no extra cost …
The top tier – AT&T Unlimited &More Premium – is otherwise the same deal as Verizon’s new Beyond Unlimited one: 22GB data before throttling, including a maximum of 15GB of hotspot usage. It’s $80 foa a single line, or $190 for four.
The cheaper version, AT&T Unlimited &More (without the ‘Premium’) costs $70 for a single line or $160 for four, but is limited to 480p video and no tethering. All prices assume autopay.
If you’re not an AT&T subscriber but want the skinny TV bundle, you will soon be able to buy access to that for $15/month.
