Save on the latest devices at AT&T
We've rounded up all of this week's best AT&T deals into one handy page right here for our readers looking to save some hard-earned cash at the carrier. Regardless of whether you're on the hunt for a new Apple flagship or a cheap Android device, we've included options for all users with our recommendations.
1. iPhone deals
2. Android deals
3. Prepaid deals
4. Free phones
5. Plans & discounts
6. Accessory deals
AT&T deals are especially good if you're adding new lines, trading in, or switching carriers. With these offers, you can often save hundreds of dollars of the retail price of a new phone, and sometimes you can even get the phone for free. AT&T might not have quite the coverage Verizon does, but with these discounts and the generally cheaper pricing of its plans, your savings can start to add up.
Generally, AT&T deals entail purchasing the phone on an instalment plan and getting a data plan at a specific level (like AT&T's Unlimited Starter plan), then AT&T will give you monthly rebates toward the value of the phone. So, to get the maximum value from these deals, you'll want to be ready to stick with AT&T for the long haul - 36 months in fact, at which point you'll have received the full discount.
So, keep those details in mind as we guide you through all the best AT&T phone deals. We'll help you find the best savings on iPhones, Android phones, 5G phones, and even some accessories to go alongside them.

AT&T iPhone deals
Apple iPhone 16 series: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in at AT&T
The latest iPhone 16 series is finally here and AT&T's opening deals are offering exceptional trade-in rebates across the board. Not only is the standard iPhone 16 available for free with an eligible trade-in with an unlimited plan, but the rebates reach all the way up to $1,000 off on the Pro devices, which is one of the better rebates on the market right now. You can also see this deal on the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, or the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Apple iPhone 15 series: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in at AT&T
AT&T offers a good trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 for the Pro models and up to $700 off the standard iPhone 15. These are essentially the 'standard' trade-in rebates for flagships at the major carrier, but they are a match for the best we've seen, so you're getting a great deal here whichever device you go for. Note, however, that you will still need that 36-month unlimited data plan here to be eligible, which is the usual criteria you need to apply for a rebate at AT&T. See this deal on the iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Apple iPhone 14: $20.28 $10.99/mo with an unlimited plan
If you're happy to go with an older device, this week's AT&T deals are currently offering a great deal on the iPhone 14. No trade-ins are currently needed to get this device for just $10 alongside an unlimited data plan - a really flexible deal all around. Note, however, that we have seen the carrier give this device away for as little as $6/mo under the same terms so this isn't the best deal that's been available for the iPhone 14 over the past few months or so.
Apple iPhone SE (2022): $1.99/mo with an unlimited plan at AT&T
Price drop: Quite possibly the best AT&T deal for iPhone fans on a budget - right now you can get the latest iPhone SE for just $2 per month alongside an unlimited data plan at the carrier. This is the cheapest this device has ever been at the carrier - with the iPhone SE 2022 previously listed at $5 per month. While it's not free, this particular promotion will get you the device for well under $100 over the duration of a 36-month plan.

AT&T Android deals
Google Pixel 9: $10.99/mo with an unlimited plan, plus free storage upgrade at AT&T
AT&T's opening deal on the standard Pixel 9 is a strong offering, with no trade-in criteria needed to get the device for just under half price. While you'll still need an unlimited data plan (as always), you're getting a device for just $11 per month here over the duration of a 36-month plan as well as the free storage upgrade that's found at all stores today as part of the preorder bonus.
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: free with a trade-in and unlimited plan, plus free storage upgrade at AT&T
Probably the strongest trade-in Google Pixel 9 deal of them all is AT&T's current preorder promo on the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Despite its hefty upfront cost, the carrier is willing to let this one go for free with a trade-in of any Pixel device of any year. While you'll still need an unlimited plan, this is an exceptionally generous offer considering you also get the free storage upgrade as a preorder bonus.

Samsung Galaxy S24: $10.99/mo with an unlimited data plan
No trade-in needed: AT&T's most recent deal on the excellent Galaxy S24 throws away the usual trade-in criteria completely in favor of a simple monthly discount. All you'll need to get this deal here is a line on an unlimited data plan and boom - you're entitled to a hefty half-price deal on one of the latest Android flagships over the duration of a 36-month plan.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra & Plus: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in
The latest Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Plus are a superb choice right now if you're looking for a powerful Android device - not least because this week's AT&T deals are offering massive trade-in rebates of up to $1,000. These rebates are a match for the best we've ever seen from the carrier so it's well worth checking this week's deal out. If you're not looking for a trade, then we've recommend the standard Galaxy S24's current discount (see above).
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE: $16.67 $5.99/mo with an unlimited data plan at AT&T
Quite possibly the best AT&T deal this week for Android fans on a budget, the superb Galaxy S23 FE is just $6 per month alongside an unlimited plan currently. Unlike with some deals at the carrier you don't need to trade in to get this promotion either, which makes it a flexible option. Specs-wise, the FE is almost as good as the standard S23 (minus the camera and premium build materials) so it's an easy recommendation if you want a powerful device on a budget.
Motorola Razr: $18.34 $2.99/mo with an unlimited data plan at AT&T
This is easily the best AT&T deal right now if you're curious about a foldable device but don't want to spend too much. The 2023 Motorola Razr is just $3 per month right now alongside an unlimited data plan without the need for a trade - a superbly low price. While the Razr isn't the most high-end foldable on the market, its great design and display make it a really usable clamshell device.

A good choice if you're strictly on a budget, you can score the Galaxy A03s for under $30 right now at AT&T if you buy it in conjunction with an eligible monthly plan. This is one of the cheapest devices you'll find at the carrier this week, although note you'll still have to pay $15 per line for your activation fee.
