AT&T to Offer Unlimited Wireless Data Plan for DIRECTV, U-Verse Subscribers

AT&T will begin offering an unlimited wireless data plan to its wireless customers once again, but there is a catch. Subscribers will also need to be either a DIRECTV or U-Verse television subscriber to get the deal.

Android and Me:

Beginning January 12, AT&T’s new Unlimited Plan will offer unlimited talk, text, and data for $100 per month. Additional smartphones can be added to the plan at a rate of $40 per month, but AT&T says that it’ll give you the fourth line free (in the form of a bill credit that’ll appear after two months). That means that you can get four smartphones with unlimited data for $180 per month.

If you’re not a DIRECTV or U-Verse subscriber, you can grab a TV package for as little as $19.99 per month for 24 months, (the price jumps considerably after 24 months, so be sure to check the fine print before signing up).

If you’re already a DIRECTV or U-Verse subscriber, and aren’t already an AT&T customer, you can take advantage of their offer that gives you up to $500 in bill credits when you sign up for the unlimited wireless plan and get a new phone via AT&T Next. They’ll also apply a $10 discount to your monthly bill when you get both wireless and television service.

Tablets can be added to the unlimited plan for $40 a month, or you can get a 1GB/$10 plan if you don’t need unlimited data for that device. Smartwatches and “select connected devices” can be added to the plan for $10 per month, and basic phones can join the plan for $25 per month.
