Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Find the AT&T cell plan that's right for you
AT&T cell phone plans can be modified to fit your usage and budget.
I recommend: Estimate your cell phone usage, and then choose a plan that fits your calling habits by going to an AT&T dealer or shopping online. You can get pretty good deals and AT&T cell plans online by going to the
AT&T website, or possibly save some money on your phone by shopping at
Wirefly,
Let's Talk or
A-1 Wireless.
Bundle your wireless plan
AT&T offers discounts to customers who bundle their wireless phones service with other products.
I recommend: Take a look at your land line phone bill, cable television bill and wireless bill to see if you can benefit from getting all of these services from one provider. The
AT&T website offers tons of options, or you can bundle your services through
White Fence.
Consider a pay-as-you-go plan
AT&T offers a wireless plan where you pay in advance for wireless service. This is good for those on a limited budget or with poor credit or for companies wanting more control over wireless charges.
I recommend: AT&T's
Go Phone wireless plan is available from various dealers in addition to AT&T, including
MyRatePlan.com,
CellPhoneSavings.com and
Calling Mart.
Purchase from an AT&T retailer
In addition to online dealers, there are AT&T stores, where you can purchase your AT&T wireless plan.
I recommend: You can get the location of the AT&T store closest to you by entering your zip code or address
on this web page or go to your nearest
Radio Shack store.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- Don't under estimate the minutes included in your plan. Going over your allowed minutes can result in higher phone bills.
- Even though AT&T wireless blankets the country, you could end up with roaming charges if you hit a spot where there's no service. This can happen anywhere, even in certain rooms of your house.
- AT&T's broadband service, especially for Internet access, is among the worst in the nation. If this is what you need, consider a provider with faster EVDO broadband service.
