AT&T In order to give customers more freedom over what they are and aren't paying for, today AT&T announced its new Build-A-Plan, which offers greater customizability regarding the specific features in people's cell service.
Available beginning on May 27, AT&T's Build-A-Plan will start at just $15 a month, which the company says is lower than any competing option from T-Mobile or Verizon. That said, while the base Build-A-Plan comes with unlimited talk and text, it only includes 1GB of data. If you want more, you can upgrade to 5GB of data for an extra $5 a month or 15GB of data for $10 a month. And if that's not enough, you can opt for unlimited data with SD video for $20 a month or unlimited data with UHD (4K) video for $35. It's a similar situation for hotspot support, as the base $15 a month plan doesn't include any tethered data by default. For those who might not need a ton, you can add 5GB of hotspot data for $5 a month or you can go up to as much as 50GB for $20.
