Unlimited Starter Plan With Unlimited Data For 2 Lines: Cost & Review

Plan Features

The plan includes unlimited data, talk, and text on AT&T's 5G and LTE network, unlimited service in the US, Canada, and Mexico, and AT&T ActiveArmor mobile security. Video streaming is capped at 480p standard definition. AT&T Turbo (data performance boost for gaming and streaming) is not available on this tier. Autopay discount is $5/line and paperless billing is $5/line - both required together for the $10/line discount. The base rate without discounts is about $76/mo.

Data, Minutes & Messages

Data is unlimited on AT&T's 5G and LTE network. No stated high-speed data threshold before network management applies - AT&T can slow speeds during congestion without a specific GB trigger on this tier. Voice and text are unlimited in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Plan Speed

5G and 4G LTE speeds are available. AT&T's 5G network uses mid-band and low-band spectrum - mid-band 5G (the everyday-fast tier, covers most of the country) is available where deployed. The Starter plan has no stated high-speed data threshold, meaning network management can apply at any point during congestion. AT&T Turbo (which prioritizes data for gaming and video calls) is not available on this tier.

Contract Details

No annual contract. Month-to-month with autopay and paperless billing discounts. Activation fee of $35 per line applies (sometimes waived for online orders).

Overage Charges

No data overage charges. Data continues after any congestion-based slowing without extra fees. Voice and text have no limits.

Mobile Hotspot

The Unlimited Starter's hotspot situation is ambiguous in the plan data. The data_summary lists 30 GB of hotspot, but the plan notes confirm this is below the 2.0 lineup and AT&T Turbo is unavailable. AT&T's current plan pages show no hotspot on the entry Starter tier. If hotspot is listed, the post-cap speed would be 128 kbps - essentially unusable for web browsing or streaming.
