How much is a normal AT&T bill?

The cost of a normal AT&T Internet bill can be significantly different depending on the services you have and how much data, minutes, or texts you consume. Nonetheless, here is the breakdown of the general outlook of the AT&T wireless or Internet bill.

Wireless Bill
If you have one smartphone line and would like to obtain a plan that includes unlimited talk, text, and data usage, you will be looking at anywhere between $65 to $85 per month based on the plan. This would include free calls and messages and free data that could be limited in some way after a certain amount has been reached. Extras, such as using a mobile hotspot or streaming in high definition, may be an additional fee.

For two to four smartphones under a family or shared wireless plan, a regular monthly cost is $120 to $200 per month. Essentially, the more lines you add, the cheaper the individual line becomes. A family unlimited plan provides unlimited talk, text, and data services to all the members of the plan for one fee.

Some of the main factors that affect your AT&T wireless bill include.

• Number of lines – There is a higher charge for every extra line.
• Data use – For plans that include preferential amounts of data use per month, one is charged extra if he or she goes over this amount. The unlimited plans are a bit pricey but they do not allow users to be charged based on usage.
• Device payment plans – through the device payment plan, AT&T breaks down the retail price of new smartphones into equal monthly installments. This is in addition to service fees charged every month on top of the agreed prices. Having to provide your device eliminates this expense since paying off/bringing your device is cheaper.
• Other – Such things as, HD video streaming, mobile hotspot data, and international calls can cost a couple of dollars more. This is important since it assists in cutting the bill to the bare minimum possible by avoiding the inclusion of unrequired extras.

Internet Bill
Here, normal bills for AT&T home internet customers also differ depending on the location, the speed of the connection, or bundles/promotions. On average, expect to budget the following each month.

• Internet 25 plan (25 Mbps) – $55/month
  
• Internet 50 plan (50 Mbps ) - 60$ per month
  
• Internet 100 plan (100 Mbps) - $70 per month
  
• Fiber internet plans (300 Mbps – 1 Gbps) – 60$ – 100$

Adding AT&T internet to your TV, home phone or wireless plan may slash your bill by $10 or more per month. Remember that equipment fees, taxes, fees, and surcharges usually increase the base rates by $10-$20, too.

The main factors affecting your AT&T home internet bill include.

• Speed – Higher speeds attract higher costs and lower speeds attract lower costs of internet connection. Ensure that you do not pay for bandwidth that you will not utilize to the optimum.
  
• Bundles – Bundling services typically lead to a promotion of about $10 per month.
  
• Modem/Router rental – For the use of modem/routers, AT&T has been known to charge up to $10 as a monthly fee. That does not happen when you purchase your equipment.
  
• Taxes & fees – an extra $15-$25 every month should be saved for these surcharges, taxes, and regulations fees. They vary by location.

Ways to Cut Down on Your AT&T Expense

If your AT&T bill seems higher than you were expecting every month, here are some ways you can trim it down.

• Credit for device payments – Eliminate these monthly fees by paying off the amounts owed for devices in full.
  
• Monitor usage frequently – this is because one can occasionally encounter high costs from areas such as the number of minutes used to speak, data, or even TV consumption.
  
• Slow down internet speeds – High internet speed might sound good but it comes with a higher price tag if you do not require a high-speed connection.
  
• Extend Services – Dial AT&T’s customer service to negotiate for cheaper available plans once promotions are over.
  
• Equipment Ownership – In some cases, the rental of a modem and router might be expensive; consider purchasing your compatible modem and router.

It is usually possible to keep AT&T bills reasonable for your household’s needs and budget by closely monitoring your usage habits and making relevant adjustments to your plans. Other opportunities you might be able to save each month can also be found by speaking with an AT&T customer service representative via phone or through an online chat.
