AT&T Business Launches $75 Ultimate 3.0 Plan With 500GB Hotspot Cap

3 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jul 21

Summary

  • AT&T Business rolled out four Unlimited Your Way for Business plans, led by Ultimate 3.0 at $75 to $110 per phone line for new and existing U.S. customers.
  • 500GB of hotspot use is the key catch behind its advertised unlimited tethering: after that threshold in a billing cycle, hotspot speeds drop to 3Mbps.
  • Each Ultimate 3.0 phone line also includes service for one tablet and one wearable, plus priority network access, international perks and AT&T Turbo for Business.
  • 50 total phone and non-phone lines can sit in one plan group, letting companies mix tiers for workers such as field technicians, delivery drivers and frequent travelers.
  • AT&T is pitching the plans as a way to replace separate device and hotspot plans as businesses add more multi-device, data-heavy workloads.
