AT&T Cut Single-Line Prices, Not Family Prices

Three of AT&T's four postpaid tiers got cheaper for one line. Every multi-line rate stayed exactly where it was, compressing the gaps between tiers from $20 to $10.

AT&T's Unlimited Your Way lineup, repriced for single lines.

AT&T has cut the single-line price of three of its four postpaid tiers. Elite 2.0 fell from $110 to $90, Premium 2.0 from $90 to $70, and Extra 2.0 from $70 to $60. Value 2.0 is unchanged at $50. Every four-line rate stayed exactly where it was. The effect is a ladder that used to climb in $20 steps and now climbs in $10 steps, which changes the upgrade maths on every tier.

Key takeaways
Single-line list prices: Elite $90, Premium $70, Extra $60, Value $50. All are $10 lower with AutoPay and paperless billing.
Four-line rates are untouched at $70, $50, $40 and $30 per line.
The gap between adjacent tiers halved from $20 to $10 for single lines.
The $10 AutoPay credit requires a bank account or the AT&T Points Plus Card from Citi; a debit card gets $5.
Elite at $80 with AutoPay now undercuts Verizon Unlimited Ultimate at $95.

The new pricing

PlanWas (1 line)Now (1 line)With AutoPay4 lines
Elite 2.0$110$90$80$70/line
Premium 2.0$90$70$60$50/line
Extra 2.0$70$60$50$40/line
Value 2.0$50$50$40$30/line

Prices exclude taxes and fees. The $10 per-line discount starts within two bills and requires paperless billing plus AutoPay funded by a bank account or the AT&T Points Plus Card from Citi. Paying by debit card halves it to $5, and paying by an ordinary credit card forfeits it.

Why the asymmetry matters

A single line on Elite used to cost $40 more than a single line on Extra. It now costs $30 more. Premium used to sit $20 above Extra and now sits $10 above it. For one person choosing a tier, the case for moving up has improved at every rung, and Premium in particular — truly unlimited priority data, a 100GB hotspot, 4K streaming — is now $10 a month above a tier that caps high-speed data at 100GB and streams in standard definition.

For a family of four, nothing changed. The per-line rates are identical to what they were, so the $20 gaps remain: $70, $50, $40, $30. A household weighing Premium against Extra is still deciding about $10 per line per month, or $480 over a two-year device cycle.

The AutoPay rule is the easy thing to get wrong
The advertised prices already assume the $10 discount. If you pay with a normal credit card, add $10 per line to every figure above. AT&T restricts the full credit to bank-account AutoPay or its own Citi-issued card.

How it lands against Verizon and T-Mobile

Elite at $80 with AutoPay is now below Verizon Unlimited Ultimate at $95 and T-Mobile Experience Beyond at $100. Elite's 250GB hotspot matches Beyond's and trails only Ultimate, which is uncapped after 200GB of premium data. That is a stronger position than AT&T's flagship held a month ago, and it is worth knowing before renewing elsewhere.

Two other AT&T changes are worth noting alongside this. The 55+ plan runs $65 a month, dropping to $55 per line at two lines. And AT&T lists a 4GB plan at $58 falling to $40 per line at four lines, which sits outside the Unlimited Your Way lineup entirely.
