AT&T Plans

Four unlimited tiers from $50 to $110, rebuilt from scratch in March 2026. The prices are cleaner than the old lineup and the data allowances are bigger — the hotspot column is where the tiers actually separate.

AT&T replaced its entire Unlimited Your Way lineup on March 13, 2026 with three plans — Value 2.0, Extra 2.0 and Premium 2.0 — and added a fourth, Elite 2.0, on April 16. The old Starter SL, Extra EL and Premium PL plans are gone, and the new tiers cost round numbers instead of prices ending in 99 cents.

Two structural things matter more than the individual specs. Lines on the same account can sit on different tiers, so a heavy user and a Wi-Fi-first user don't have to buy the same plan. And if you're on a legacy plan AT&T won't move you automatically — switching can trigger a line activation fee of up to $50, so do the arithmetic before you call.

What separates the four tiers

Every tier runs on the same network with the same unlimited talk and text. Premium data and hotspot are the entire difference, and hotspot is where the money goes.

Plan 1 line 4 lines Premium data Hotspot
Value 2.0 1 line$50 4 lines$30/line Premium data5GB Hotspot3GB
Extra 2.0 1 line$70 4 lines$40/line Premium data100GB Hotspot50GB
Premium 2.0 1 line$90 4 lines$55/line Premium dataUnlimited Hotspot100GB
Elite 2.0 1 line$110 4 lines Premium dataUnlimited Hotspot250GB

Prices are list rates for a single line before taxes and fees; AutoPay with paperless billing takes $10/line off. Four-line figures are per line. Switching from a legacy plan can trigger a line activation fee of up to $50.

What it really costs

AT&T quotes pre-tax prices and expects you on AutoPay, and the payment method now changes the size of the discount. $10/line requires a bank account/ACH or the AT&T Points Plus card from Citi — a debit card earns just $5/line, and any other credit card earns nothing. Taxes and fees land on top of whatever's left.

The March 2026 overhaul was mostly good news. Extra 2.0 costs less than the Extra EL it replaced while adding 25GB of premium data and 20GB of hotspot, and Value 2.0 undercut Starter SL by about $16. Premium 2.0 went the other way, rising from $85.99 to $90.

Value 2.0 is the tier to be careful with. 5GB of high-speed data is the ceiling before AT&T slows you, and it lost hotspot allowance in the transition. At $50 list it's only worth it if you genuinely live on Wi-Fi and specifically need AT&T's coverage.

Multi-line is where the lineup gets competitive. Four lines of Extra 2.0 land at $40 each and Value 2.0 at $30 each, and because tiers mix and match on one account you can put one heavy user on Premium without paying for everyone.

AT&T is a good fit if…

AT&T has the coverage you need — it's the second-strongest national network and that's the real reason to pay postpaid prices.
You tether seriously. Extra's 50GB, Premium's 100GB and Elite's 250GB are among the largest allowances any US carrier sells.
You're putting a family together and want different tiers on different lines rather than one compromise plan.
You travel to Mexico, Canada or Latin America — talk and text across North America is included everywhere and 20 Latin American countries come with Premium and Elite.
You want a real support organisation, retail stores and device financing behind the plan.

Look elsewhere if…

You want the lowest price on AT&T's network — Cricket is AT&T-owned and starts at $25/mo with taxes included.
You want all-in pricing; AT&T quotes before taxes and fees on every tier.
You're a light data user. Value 2.0's 5GB ceiling makes the entry tier poor value against prepaid alternatives.
You won't pay by bank transfer — the full $10/line discount now needs ACH or the AT&T Points Plus card, and a debit card halves it.
You're on a legacy plan with pricing you like — AT&T won't migrate you, and switching can cost an activation fee.

Frequently asked questions

What are AT&T's current unlimited plans?

Four tiers: Value 2.0 at $50, Extra 2.0 at $70, Premium 2.0 at $90 and Elite 2.0 at $110 for a single line before taxes. AutoPay with paperless billing takes $10/line off if you pay by bank account/ACH or the AT&T Points Plus card, or $5/line with a debit card. Value, Extra and Premium launched on March 13, 2026 and Elite was added on April 16.

Which AT&T plan is the best value?

Extra 2.0. It includes 100GB of premium data and a 50GB hotspot — more than most people use — at $70 for one line or $40/line at four. Premium 2.0 is the upgrade worth paying for only if you tether heavily or travel in Latin America.

What happened to Unlimited Starter, Extra EL and Premium PL?

They were retired on March 13, 2026 and replaced by Value 2.0, Extra 2.0 and Premium 2.0. AT&T does not migrate existing customers automatically, so if you're still on a legacy plan you keep it until you choose to move — and moving can trigger a line activation fee of up to $50.

How much hotspot do AT&T plans include?

Value 2.0 has a minimal allowance, Extra 2.0 includes 50GB, Premium 2.0 includes 100GB and Elite 2.0 includes 250GB — the largest hotspot allowance sold by any major US carrier.

What is AT&T Turbo?

A $7/mo add-on that gives your line enhanced network priority during congestion. It's optional on Extra 2.0 and Premium 2.0, and included at no extra cost on Elite 2.0.

Can different lines be on different AT&T plans?

Yes. AT&T lets lines on the same account sit on different tiers, so one person can be on Premium 2.0 while another is on Value 2.0. T-Mobile doesn't allow this, and it's one of the better reasons to choose AT&T for a family.

How much is AT&T's AutoPay discount?

It depends on how you pay. $10/mo per line requires AutoPay and paperless billing with a bank account/ACH or the AT&T Points Plus card from Citi. A debit card earns only $5/line, and any other credit card earns nothing — AT&T cut those tiers back during 2026, so the payment method on file is worth checking.

Does AT&T still sell Unlimited Ultra?

No. Unlimited Ultra is not part of the current four-tier lineup — the March 2026 Unlimited Your Way overhaul replaced it, and Premium 2.0 and Elite 2.0 are its successors. If you're still on it, AT&T won't move you automatically, so compare what you have against Premium 2.0 before switching.

Is there a cheaper way onto AT&T's network?

Yes — Cricket Wireless is AT&T's own prepaid brand and runs on the same towers from $25/mo with taxes included, and AT&T Prepaid sits between the two. The tradeoff is deprioritization: only Cricket's Supreme tier gets priority data, and AT&T postpaid lines are served first.
