AT&T is now offering a new data plan, as well as discounts on existing plans and new phones. The new data plan, called “Unlimited Max,” is a prepaid plan that is available only at Walmart. It comes with unlimited high-speed 5G data, available HD streaming, unlimited talk and text, unlimited text from the U.S. to over 230 countries and a 25GB mobile hotspot.
The plan is moderately priced at $55 per month and does not require AutoPay. It does, however, require a device purchase and in-store activation on a new single line.
This plan comes in around the same price as other prepaid offers with 5G plans that do not offer HD streaming options. These include Metro by T-Mobile’s $50 per month plan, Mint Mobile’s $45 per month plan (for three months), Cricket’s $55 per month plan and Visible by Verizon’s $45 per month plan ($35 with a promo code). Even AT&T’s lowest-priced unlimited 5G plan, available outside of Walmart, does NOT come with HD streaming and will cost you $65 per month.
AT&T is also offering its other prepaid plans at a discount if they are activated at Walmart. These include Unlimited and Unlimited Plus.
