AT&T Cuts Cost for Some Single-Line and Two-Line Plans

After cutting the cost of some family plans earlier this year, AT&T is providing lower-price options for customers with just one or two cellphone lines.

AT&T said Saturday it will now offer customers with one or two lines the option of a two gigabyte shared data plan, starting with one line for $65 per month. That’s $15 less than the current price.

The reduction applies to AT&T’s Mobile Share Value plans — no-contract plans for which customers either pay full price for a phone or bring their own device.

It’s the latest in a series of pricing moves that have been occurring since last year, when T-Mobile moved away from contracts and device subsidies. T-Mobile on Friday said it was doubling the amount of data included in its basic plans. Verizon cut some plan costs in February. And Sprint introduced a series of lower cost “Framily” plans in January.

AT&T recently added unlimited international messaging to its mobile share plans. With this latest pricing move, it is also adding 50GB of cloud-based storage.

For a limited time, AT&T also said it will give customers $100 credit for each new line of service, including smartphones, basic phones, tablets and hotspots.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
