Whether you’re a current AT&T customer looking to combine your phone or internet service, or are new to the company altogether, bundling can save you, well, bundles of money. 

Going the bundling route entitles you to instant money off your monthly bills, thanks to AT&T’s 20% off bundling discount. It may also entitle you to Visa rewards cards, free upgrades, or other extras, depending on what you sign up for, and when. 

Read on as we show you how bundling with AT&T can lower your monthly costs overall. First, though, a brief overview of what kind of pricing you can expect with AT&T mobile and internet services on their own.

AT&T Wireless Plan Pricing

Before deciding on whether to bundle your services with AT&T, it helps to understand what kind of pricing the telecom provider offers for cell phone plan service. 

In short, AT&T’s wireless plans are on the higher end of the spectrum, in line with the other major carrier competitors, Verizon and T-Mobile. The company’s bread and butter are unlimited data plans, and they offer some of the best on the market. Here are three of AT&T’s top unlimited plans: 

All of these plans come down in price as you add lines (i.e. turning them into family plans), making them significantly more affordable with each additional line. For further reading, check out our guide on family plan discounts. 

AT&T Home Internet Pricing

AT&T also specializes in fast and reliable internet service, especially in areas where AT&T Fiber is available. Here’s a pricing breakdown of AT&T’s Fiber internet offerings.

AT&T’s 20% Bundling Discount

AT&T has a straightforward bundling discount that gives you 20% off your service (either for internet or wireless—whichever one you’re adding). This offer is available to both existing and new AT&T customers. 

Below are some example scenarios for bundling with AT&T, with the 20% discount applied to internet service: 

AT&T’s 20% Discount Applied to Family Plans

You can really see the savings start adding up when you sign up for a family plan from AT&T. That’s because you’ll not only see discounts when you sign up for multiple lines of cell phone plan service—the more lines you add, the more you save—but on the internet service end, as well. 

For example, when you sign up for four lines of cell phone service on the Premium 2.0 plan, the price goes down to $55/month per line, instead of the usual $90 per month for a single line. That alone equals a discount of $140/month. When you add, say, the Internet 500 plan to the equation (which is suitable for a household full of streamers), you’ll save an additional $13/month with the 20% bundling discount applied. That translates to a total savings of $153/month! 

Additional Bundle Benefits

Beyond AT&T’s standard 20% discount, the company occasionally offers limited-time promotions. These include: 

• Reward cards for new bundle customers—right now, for example, the company is offering a $100 Visa reward card that works at any place Visa is accepted
• Phone upgrade perks on premium plans
• Internet backup features that use wireless data if home internet goes down

Note that these promotions change frequently and may require new line activations or trade-ins. 

Important AT&T Bundling Fine Print

Like all telecom promotions, AT&T’s bundling discount isn’t without some fine print. Specifically, discounts start within 3 bills‚ so you might not see the savings show up for a few cycles. That’s a strategy carriers like AT&T use to keep you on the books for a while, so you don’t just get the discount and then split for a different provider. 

The following are some other considerations to be aware of: 

• Separate billing: Internet and wireless are billed separately even though they qualify for bundle discounts.
• Taxes and fees: Advertised prices do not include regulatory fees, surcharges, or device installment payments.
• Availability: Fiber is not available in all markets. Your location will determine what speeds and pricing you qualify for.
• Price changes: Like most providers, AT&T may adjust base plan pricing over time.

Final Thoughts

Bundling your cell phone and home internet with AT&T can reduce your monthly bill through the 20% discount, especially for households already using both services. Savings are typically modest for single-line customers but can add up for multi-line families on higher-tier plans.

Before running off to sign up with AT&T, we recommend comparing the bundling discounts offered from other providers, if you have any other ones available in your area. You should also take a look at the extra promotions that AT&T happens to be running at the time, like the $100 reward card the company is offering right now.
