AT&T Welcomes the New Year with a Price Increase for Certain Subscribers.
Starting January 15, some AT&T Wireless customers will see an increase of nearly 7% in their monthly bills.
AT&T will start the year 2025 with a price increase for some of its customers. In particular, AT&T FirstNet users will see a $3 increase in their monthly bill. This change has already been confirmed on the company's website. AT&T FirstNet is a dedicated wireless broadband network designed exclusively to meet the needs of emergency services and public safety personnel in the United States, developed in collaboration with the federal government.
According to AT&T, this increase will allow the company to continue providing the quality wireless service that its customers expect. For those who activated their AT&T FirstNet service after April 15, the tariff change will apply only after completing nine months of service. During that period, they will receive a $3 monthly credit to offset the increase.
AT&T FirstNet customers have enjoyed some of the lowest rates in the industry. However, with the recent change, their monthly costs will rise from $45 to $48, representing an approximate increase of 7%. This increase applies to unlimited smartphone plans and FirstNet data-only plans.
On the other hand, AT&T has implemented price increases on several occasions and is expected not to be the last time in the coming months. In 2024, the company already carried out at least three price hikes, including a $10 increase per line for some older unlimited plans. Other major carriers like Verizon and T-Mobile have also recently raised their rates.
FirstNet is available to a wide range of agencies and public safety personnel, including law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical services, and health professionals.
Additionally, AT&T will notify its customers on older unlimited plans that they will see increases in their bills starting in August. The increases will be $10 per month for individual lines and $20 per month for those with multiple lines. The company justifies this adjustment by stating that it will allow for better benefits in the plans.
