DALLAS, Feb. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Get ready to take advantage of AT&T's¹ (NYSE:T) best-ever prices for people wanting a family-size bucket of data and unlimited talk and text on the nation's most reliable 4G LTE network.² As an example, a family of four can now get unlimited talk and text, and 10GB of data – enough for the whole family to share – for $160 a month.³ 

These best-ever prices on AT&T's best-in-class network are available beginning today to any AT&T customer, including small businesses with up to 10 lines, and customers of Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and other wireless carriers who switch to AT&T. 

Here's how it works

New Customers Can Switch and Save

Customers new to AT&T can get these best-ever prices on AT&T's award-winning network when they sign up for a 10GB or larger bucket of data and purchase a phone with AT&T Next^SM (no annual service contract and get a new device every year for $0 down) or bring their own device or purchase a phone at full retail price.

Here's an example: Today, Verizon charges $260 monthly for a comparable plan that's now $160 from AT&T. A family with four smartphones with unlimited talk and text, and a shared 10GB bucket of data, could switch to AT&T from Verizon and save $100 a month. In addition to the big monthly savings, the family in this example would get a $400 bill credit for the four smartphone lines of service added.⁴

Savings for Current AT&T Customers

Current AT&T customers can save big with these new plans, too, when they choose a 10GB or larger bucket of data. For example, a family or small business with four smartphones could move to this new plan and save between $40 and $100 per month, depending on their current plan.⁵  

"These new plans give customers what they want – our best-ever prices on a best-in-class network," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility. "We're making it easy for families who want it all – great service, great value and big bucket of data to share."

Also, for a limited time only, all new and existing AT&T customers will receive a $100 bill credit for each new line of service added – whether a smartphone, tablet, feature phone, mobile hotspot or AT&T Wireless Home Phone.⁶
