AT&T recently revamped their Mobile Share plans for families and multiple lines, but it’s been a common criticism that one and two line households wouldn’t always get the best deals on Big Blue.
Starting yesterday, those looking for a more affordable entry level plan are in luck as AT&T is cutting $15 off the monthly rate. Starting at $65 a month for one line, you’ll get 2GB of data, unlimited talk and text, free international texting, and 50GB of cloud storage through AT&T Locker. Adding a second line brings the price up to $90 a month.
These plans are also eligible for Next allowing you to upgrade phones faster, and you can sign up without being locked into a contract. Gotta love a little cell phone carrier competition.
Full press release below.
