Unlimited and Prepaid AT&T phone deals

AT&T | Unlimited Starter plan | $35/month with four lines: AT&Ts budget unlimited plan

AT&T | Unlimited Starter plan | $35/month with four lines: AT&Ts budget unlimited plan
AT&T's Unlimited Starter is the cheapest of AT&T's unlimited plans and a great choice for those on a budget. If you get a four-line family plan, you'll only have to pay $35/month per line; a single line costs $65 a month. You get unlimited data, texts and calls and unlimited texting from the US to more than 120 countries. However, you won't get any hotspotting data, and if AT&T's network is busy, your speeds can be slowed. You'll also find your streaming limited to SD.

AT&T | 16GB 12-month prepaid | $25/month - Great value prepaid on AT&T

AT&T | 16GB 12-month prepaid | $25/month - Great value prepaid on AT&T
This is an excellent price from AT&T's prepaid selection. It only costs $25 a month for 16GB of data, which for a limited time is double the 8GB AT&T usually offers. However, the catch here is that you have to pay the full value upfront — $300 to be precise. If you can afford to pay that in one go, this is AT&T's best value prepaid plan. While the prepaid plan doesn't offer 5G, you do get rollover data, a mobile hotspot, HD video, and connectivity in Mexico and Canada.
