AT&T launches its first package of TV and wireless services after it has completed its acquisition of DIRECTV, available from Aug 10. This includes HD and DVR service for up to four TVs, voice and unlimited text for four smartphones, and 10GB of shareable wireless data– all for $200 per month, an annual savings of $600 or more in the first 12 months.
AT&T Inc. helps millions around the globe connect with leading entertainment, mobile, high speed Internet and voice services. They are the world’s largest provider of pay TV.
As part of this launch on Aug. 10, new DIRECTV subscribers will have immediate access to programming – on their mobile devices via a walk out and watch TV experience – at point of sale. They can view it on their compatible mobile devices after leaving the store before TV service is installed. The walk out and watch feature will be delivered through the DIRECTV app and customers will have a limited time to activate their mobile TV service. AT&T sales representatives will assist customers to set up the app on their wireless device in the store.
AT&T is the only single provider that can deliver TV and wireless services with one point of contact for customer care on a single monthly bill.
Customers may add AT&T’s coast-to-coast wireless services, with 10GB of shareable data and unlimited talk and text for four phone lines for $160 per month. When combined on a single AT&T bill with the basic TV plan for $50 (DIRECTV Select or U-verse U-Family), with service on up to four TVs, consumers will pay $200 per month for the All-in-One plan after a $10 a month combined bill discount.Customers who combine TV services with eligible AT&T wireless services on a single monthly AT&T bill are eligible for the $10 combined bill discount. The discount will continue if the customer keeps both services on a combined bill – an annual savings of $120.
